Engine Stop - Columbus AKS 88 VDM 180 Mode D'emploi

CHAPTER 10 - CHECKS BEFORE IGNITION
Carefully read the engine instruction manual, which you will find attached to this machine manual, but in any case:

Check the engine oil level, if it is low top it up using protective gloves, possibly cotton-lined nitrile ones; the oil sump contains
approximately 1.5 Kg of oil; we recommend using oil for temperate climates such as AGIP SIGMA (HD SERIES 3 MIL - L - 2104 - C API
- CD).

Refuel the engine with diesel or petrol with the engine switched off and cold.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
KEEP FUEL OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN, IN A DRY AND VENTILATED PLACE, WITHOUT SOURCES OF HEAT.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
IMPORTANT: The diesel/petrol container must be of a suitable type and must be clean; this will ensure that the diesel filter and engine
last a long time; use a container whose fuel capacity can be used up in 2 / 3 months in order to always have new fuel.
