Repair manual

Particular attention shall be drawn on some precautions that
must be followed absolutely in a standard working area and
whose non fulfillment will make any other measure useless
or not sufficient to ensure safety to the personnel in-charge
of maintenance.
Be informed and inform personnel as well of the laws in force
regulating safety, providing information documentation
available for consultation.
- Keep working areas as clean as possible, ensuring
adequate aeration.
- Ensure that working areas are provided with emergency
boxes, that must be clearly visible and always provided
with adequate sanitary equipment.
- Provide for adequate fire extinguishing means, properly
indicated and always having free access. Their efficiency
must be checked on regular basis and the personnel
must be trained on intervention methods and priorities.
- Organize and displace specific exit points to evacuate
the areas in case of emergency, providing for adequate
indications of the emergency exit lines.
- Smoking in working areas subject to fire danger must be
strictly prohibited.
- Provide Warnings throughout adequate boards signaling
danger, prohibitions and indications to ensure easy
comprehension of the instructions even in case of
emergency.

- Do not use any tool or equipment for any different
operation from the ones they’ve been designed and
provided for: serious injury may occur.
- In case of test or calibration operations requiring engine

Standard safety prescriptions
Prevention of injury
- Do not wear unsuitable cloths for work, with fluttering
ends, nor jewels such as rings and chains when working
close to engines and equipment in motion.
- Wear safety gloves and goggles when performing the
following operations:
- filling inh ibitors or anti-frost
- lubrication oil topping or replacement
- utilization of compressed air or liquids under pressure
(pressure allowed: ≤ 2bar)
- Wear safety helmet when workin g c lose to hanging
loads or equipment w orking at head height level .
- Always wear safety shoes when and cloths adhering to
the body, better if provided with elastics at the ends.
- Use protection c ream for hands.
- Change wet c lot hs as soon as possible
- In presence of current tension exceeding 48-60 V verify
efficiency of earth and mass electrical connections.
Ensure that hands an d feet are dry and execute working
operations u tilizing isolating foot-boards. Do not carry
out working operations if not trained for.
- Do not smoke nor light up flames close to batteries and
to any fuel material.
- Put the dirty rags with oil, diesel fuel or solvents in
anti-fire specially provided containers.
During maintenance
- Never open filler cap of cooling circu it when the engine
is hot. Operatin g pressure wou ld provoke high
temperature with serious danger and risk of burn. Wait
unit the temperature decreases under 50ºC.
- Never top up an overheated engine with cooler and
utilize o n ly appropriate liquids.
- Always operate when the engine is turned off: whether
particular circumstances require maintenance
intervention on running engine, be aware of all risks
involved with suc h operation.
- Be equipped with adequate and safe containers for
drainage operation of engine liquids an d exhaust oil.
- Keep the engine clean from oil tangles, diesel fuel and or
chemical solvents.
- Use of solvents or detergents during mainten ance may
originate t oxic vapors. Always keep working areas
aerated. Whenever necessary wear safety mask.
- Do not leave rags impregnated with flammable
substances close to the engine.
- Upon engine start after maintenance, undertake proper
preventing actions to stop air suction in case of runaway
speed rate.
- Do not utilize fast sc rew-tightening tools.
- Never disconnect batteries when the engine is running.
- Disc onnect batteries before any intervention on the
electrical system.
- Disconnect batteries from system aboard to load them
with the battery loader.
- After every intervention, verify that battery clamp
polarity is correct and that the cl amps are tight and safe
from accidental short c ircu it and oxidation.
- Do not disconnect and connect electrical connections
in presence of electrical feed.
- Before proceeding with pipelines disassembly
(pneumatic, hydraulic, fuel pipes) verify presence of liquid
or air under pressure. Take all necessary precautions
bleeding and draining residual pressure or closing dump
valves. Always wear adequate safety mask or goggles.
Non fulfillment of t hese prescriptions may cause serious
injury and poisoning.
