In the state of California, diesel engine
exhaust gases are recognized as one of
the main causes of cancerous tumors,
damage to reproductive organs and de-
formities in unborn children.
Whenever an engine enters the state of
California, or states or countries which
adopt the same legislation, adequate in-
formation must be provided to confirm
the risks associated with the engine's
components and the exhaust gases
which it produces.
– The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for any damage resulting from the
misuse of the engine, from the failure to fol-
low the indications contained in this manual
and from any tampering with or change
made without the manufacturer's authoriza-
tion.
– If appropriate, before using the engine for
the first time, after gathering all the neces-
sary information, simulate a few trial ma-
noeuvres to identify the controls and their
main functions, especially those related with
starting and stop operations.

and insufficiently ventilated environment;
the exhaust fumes are harmful and can
have serious consequences on people's
health.

cable legislation regarding safety at the
workplace.

possible and carry out the scheduled main-
tenance operations established by the man-
ufacturer. A good maintenance will ensure
the highest performance, a longer working
lifetime and a constant compliance with
safety requirements.

parts. Use the oils and greases recom-
mended by the manufacturer. All this will en-
