FUEL LEVEL LOW

FUEL CIRCUIT

Avoid using the engine with only a small reserve of fuel in the fuel tank; this encourages the formation of condensation and makes it more likely you will suck up dirt or air, resulting in engine stoppage. The common rail injection system does not require air to be bled from the fuel circuit.

FUEL LEVEL LOW

A sending unit is installed and connected to the computer display on the instrument panel. This message will be displayed when the fuel level falls below 5% of full. Refer to FUEL TANK in MACHINE OPERATOR’S MANUAL for tank capacities.

REFUELLING

CAUTION

When refuelling, always pay great care to ensure that no solid or liquid contaminants enter the fuel tank; you must also remember that smoking and live fl ames are prohibited when refuelling. Never loosen the high pressure fuel circuit connectors in any way.

IMPORTANT!

Refuelling from drums or tanks may result in contamination of the diesel fuel, with the risk of damage to the injection system; if necessary, fi lter the fuel in a suitable manner or allow sedimentation of the impurities before refuelling.

Low temperature diesel

Use only ULTRA LOW SULFUR diesel fuel.

CAUTION

RESTARTING AN ENGINE THAT HAS RUN OUT OF FUEL

1. If the engine has run out of fuel the fuel line must be primed. 2. Ensure key is turned to OFF. 3. Refi ll fuel tank completely. 4. Bleed the system according to the FUEL FILTER section of this manual. 5. Crank the engine until it starts. Do not crank longer than 20 seconds. Wait 2 minutes between each attempt.

LUBRICATION CIRCUIT

A message will be displayed, warning light will fl ash and alarm will sound when engine oil pressure falls below 10 psi (0.7 bar). Stop the engine when this alarm is activated. Check engine oil levels. Refer to STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE for more information.

See the Oil viscosity grade in relation to ambient

temperature chart in the back of this manual.

See FLUID CAPACITIES on page 20 for oil specifi cations

ELECTRICAL STARTER SYSTEM

Periodically check, particularly during the winter, to ensure that the batteries are clean and in full working order, checking and topping up as indicated in the chapter CONTROLS AND MAINTENANCE. If battery replacement is necessary, be sure that the replacement battery has the same capacity and specifi cations as the one being replaced.

RUNNING IN

Thanks to modern engine construction technology, no particular break in procedure is required. However, it is recommended that, for the fi rst 50 hours, you do not use the engine at high power for long periods.

Air intake and exhaust gas circuits

Inspect the cleanliness of the air intake circuit on a regular basis. See the machine operator’s manual for maintenance procedures and fi lter replacement intervals.
