Danger of corrosive substances, Danger of explosions, Eye protection required, Strictly no
naked flames or sparks in the vicinities.
Periodically check that there is no damage or deformation of the engine block or battery
cover. Make sure that the poles are not oxidized or damaged, and that the cable
terminals are properly connected to the battery. Check that the level of the electrolyte is
above the plates and that the battery charge is sufficient; if necessary, restore the level of
the acid solution using distilled (de-ionized) water. Whenever required, the batteries
must always be under continuous charge from the backup battery charger. Keep the
battery clean, if necessary use suitable protective grease on the terminals.
If the idle battery voltage is lower than 9V, disconnect the battery from the diesel pump
and recharge it using a high capacity quick charge battery charger. Observe the battery
manufacturer’s directions.
3) FUEL FILTER : periodically replace the fuel filter
4) BELTS: Periodically check the condition and tension of the belts
5) ELECTRICAL PANEL: the efficiency of the signals (warning lights, instruments) and the
proper operation of the electronic equipment should be checked on a monthly basis. The
fuses can be removed from the fuse carrier and checked using a circuit tester.
6) Periodically check, based on the hours of operation, the level of the lubricant and that of
the water (where applicable);
7) Make sure the fuel tank is always full. Use only suitable fuel as specified in the handbook
provided with the engine. Diesel oil for automotive diesel engines is normally specified
(calorific power below 10,200 kcal/kg).
The fuel tank supplied as standard ensures, when full, 6 hours autonomy of operation.
PERIODIC CHECKS
We recommend that you check the correct operation of the diesel pump at least once a
month, especially its starting response when the automatic starting device is triggered.
It is good practice to check the overall condition if the system as well.
Periodic maintenance is important to ensure the lasting efficiency of the diesel
pump set!
Refer to the LAWS, REGULATIONS AND STANDARDS locally in force for more restrictive
provisions on the subject of periodic checks.
ROUTINE BATTERY CHECKS
The Pb batteries used for the motors must be periodically checked.
