DANGER Rotating and moving engine parts.
Risk of crushing, danger of parts of the body being caught or pulled in!
• Only run the engine at low power. Keep away from the engine's danger zone.
WARNING High level of engine noise when the engine is running.

Setting adjustable pointer of differential pressure gauge
1. After installation of a new filter element, align adjustable pointer (2) with pressureindicating pointer (3) of pressure gauge (1). 2. Verify that differential pressure is within the limit.
Fuel prefilter – Checking differential pressure
1. With the engine running at full load or rated power, read off pressure at gauge (1). 2. If differential pressure as indicated between position of adjustable pointer (2) and pressure-indicating pointer (3) of pressure gauge is ≥ 0.3 bar, flush filter element of the cut-in filter (→ Page 193).
