while the engine is running.
• The liquid cooling circuit is under pressure. Do not
carry out any checks before the engine has cooled
down, and even then open the radiator cap or the
expansion tank cautiously. Wear protective clothing
and glasses. lf there is an electric fan, do not approach
the engine while it is still hot as the fan may come on
even when the engine is not running. Clean the cooling
system with the engine turned off.
• While cleaning the oil bath air filter, check that the oil
is disposed of in such a way as not to harm the
environment. Any filtering sponges in the oil bath air
filter should not be soaked with oil. The cyclone pre-
filter cup must not be filled with oil.
• Since the oil must be emptied out while the engine is
still hot (approx. 80°C), particular care should be taken
in order to avoid burns. In any case make sure that oil
does not come into contact with your skin because of
the health hazards involved.
• Check that the discharged oil, the oil filter and the oil
contained in the oil filter are disposed of in such a way
as not to harm the environment.
• Close the fuel tank filler cap carefully after each fílling
operation. Do not fill the tank right up to the top, but
leave sufficient space to allow for any expansion of the
fuel.
• Fuel vapours are highly toxic, so fill up only in the open
air or in well ventilated environments.
• Do not smoke or use naked flames while filling.
• Take care when removing the oil filter as it may be hot.
• The operations of checking, filling up and replacing the
cooling liquid must be carried out with the engine
turned off and cold. Take particular care if liquids
containing nitrites are mixed with others not containing
these compounds as this may give rise to the formation
of nitrosamines which are a health hazard. The cooling
liquid is polluting, so dispose of in a manner that does
not damage the environment.
• During operations which involve access to moving
parts of the engine and/or removal of the rotary guards,
disconnect and insulate the positive cable of the battery
so as to prevent accidental short circuits and activation
of the starter motor.
• Check the belt tension only when the engine is turned
off.
• In order to move the engine use exclusively the
eyebolts fitted for this purpose by Lombardini. These
lifting points are however not suitable for the entire
machine, so in this case use the eyebolts fitted by the
manufacturer.
