WARNING SIGNS
• Lombardini engines are built to provide safe and
longlasting performances, but in order to obtain
these results it is essential that the maintenance
requirements described in the manual are observed
along with the following safety recommendations.
• The engine has been built to the specifications of a
machine manufacturer, and it is his responsibility to
ensure that all necessary action is taken to meet
the essential and legally prescribed health and
safety requirements. Any use of the machine other
than that described cannot be considered as
complying with its intended purpose as specified by
Lombardini,
which
therefore
responsibility for accidents caused by such
operations.
• The following instructions are intended for the user
of the machine in order to reduce or eliminate risks,
especially those concerning the operation and
standard maintenance of the engine.
• The user should read these instructions carefully
and get to know the operations described. By not
doing so he may place at risk his own health and
safety and that of anyone else in the vicinity of the
machine.
• The engine may be used or mounted on a machine
only by personnel suitably trained in its operation
and aware of the dangers involved. This is
particularly true for standard and, above all, special
maintenance work.
For special maintenance

DANGER
By not respecting these directions the user may place at
risk persons and objects.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Lombardini declines all responsibility for accidents
or for failure to comply with the requirements of
law if changes are made to the engine's functional
parameters or to the fuel flow rate adjustments
and speed of rotation, if seals are removed, or if
parts not described in the operating and
maintenance
reassembled by unauthorized personnel.
• In addition to all other machine specifications,
ensure that the engine is in a near horizontal
position when starting. lf starting manually, ensure
that the necessary operations can be performed
without any risk of striking against walls or

recoil rope starting) is not permitted even in
emergencies.
• Check that the machine is stable so that there is no
risk of it overturning.
• Get to know the engine speed adjustment and
machine stop operations.
• Do not start the machine in closed or poorly
ventilated environments. The internal combustion
process generates carbon monoxide, an odourless
and highly toxic gas, so spending too long a time
in an environment where the engine discharges its
exhaust products freely can lead to loss of
consciousness and even death.
• The engine may not be used in environments

the machine.
• To prevent the risk of fire, keep the machine at a
distance of at least one metre from buildings or other
machines.
• Children and animals must be kept at a sufficient
distance from the machine to prevent any danger
and
resulting from its operation.
• Fuel is flammable, so the tank must be filled only
when the engine is turned off. Dry carefully any fuel
that may have spilled, remove the fuel container and
any cloths soaked in fuel or oil, check that any
sound-absorbing panels made of porous material are
not soaked with fuel or oil, and make sure that the
ground on which the machine is located has not
absorbed fuel or oil.
• To start the engine follow the specific instructions
provided in the engine and/or machine operating
manual. Do not use auxiliary starting devices not
originally installed on the machine (e.g. Startpilot
systems which utilise ether etc.)
• Before starting, remove any tools that have been
used for carrying out maintenance work to the
engine and/or the machine and check that any
guards removed have been replaced. In cold
climates it is possible to mix kerosene with the diesel
fuel to make the engine easier to start. The liquids
must be mixed in the tank by pouring in first the
kerosene and then the diesel fuel. Consult
Lombardini technical office for mixture proportions.
Petrol may not be used because of the risk of it
forming flammable vapours.
• During operation the surface of the engine reaches
