1.10Avoiding running the engine under low-load conditions

Caution!

The running performance of the engine can be negatively affected if it runs at idling speed or high speed and at less than 20 % of the load. ☞ Effects: • Operating temperature is not reached • Increased lube oil consumption • Lube oil in exhaust system, and therefore diesel engine contamination • Blue smoke in exhaust ☞ We recommend running the diesel engine at loads of over 20 % during regular operation
