Test
Depending on the type of application and the op-

examined by a specialist whenever required, but
at least once every year.

5.38 Tightening torques 5.39 Engine conservation

If the engine is to be shut down for a longer period
of time (e.g. during winter) we recommend the fol-
lowing conservation measures for the engine to
avoid corrosion:
l Clean the engine, including the cooling sys-
tem. With cold cleansing agent, or, even bet-
ter, with a steam cleaner.
l Run the engine warm and shut it down.
l Drain the still warm engine oil and fill in anti-
corrosion engine oil.

they have been unscrewed. l Close the air intake opening on the air filter
and the exhaust opening.
i Note
Depending on the weather condition these con-
serving measures will provide protection for ap-
prox. 6 - 12 months.
The conserving oil must be replaced by engine oil
according to the API- (MIL) classification before
taking the machine into operation. Refer to the
section "Fuels and lubricants".
Anti-corrosion oils are those that comply with

the specification MIL-L-21260 B or TL 9150-
037/2 resp. Nato Code C 640/642.
Mark a machine with conserved engine by at-

taching a clearly visible warning tag.

qualified and trained personnel or by the sales
service.
Please observe strictly the safety regulations

in chapter 2 of these operating and mainte-
nance instructions.
Faults occur frequently due to the fact, that the
machine has not been properly operated or serv-
iced. Therefore, whenever a fault occurs, read
through these instructions on correct operation
and maintenance. If you cannot locate the cause
of the fault or eliminate it yourself by following the
trouble shooting charts, you should contact our
customer service departments at our branch office
or dealers.
