WARNING SIGNS - SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to comply with these
instructions may result in
damages to persons and
property.
Failure to comply with these
instructions can lead to
technical damage to the
machine and/or installation.
DANGER
W ARNING SIGNS
CAUTION
• 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 declines all 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 contact personnel trained specifically by Lombardini. This work should be carried out in accordance
with existing literature.
• 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 manual are removed and 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 dangerous objects. Rope starting (except for 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 containing flammable materials, explosive atmospheres or easily
combustible powders, unless adequate and specific precautions have been taken and are clearly stated and
certified for 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 resulting from
its operation.

WARNING SIGNS - SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS II
• 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 temperatures that may be dangerous. Avoid in particular all
contact with the exhaust system.
• Before carrying out any work on the engine, turn it off and allow it to cool down. Do not perform any operation 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 fÃlling 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.
