For the Guarantee Conditions, see the Ve-

tus Diesel ‘Service and Warranty Manual’

(320199.06).

This engine has been built exclusively for the

application specied in the scope of sup-

ply and is to be used only for the intended

purpose. Any use exceeding that scope is

considered to be contrary to the intended

purpose. The manufacturer will not not as-

sume responsibility for any damage resulting

therefrom. The risks involved are to be borne

by the user.

Use in accordance with the intended pur-

pose also implies compliance with the con-

ditions laid down by the manufacturer for

operation, maintenance and servicing. The

engine should only be operated, maintained

and serviced by persons which are familiar

with the former and the hazards involved.

The relevant accident prevention guidelines

and other generally accepted safety and

industrial hygiene regulations must be ob-

served.

Unauthorized engine modications will in-

validate any liability claims against the man-

ufacturer for resultant damage.

Manipulations of the injection and regulat-

ing system may also inuence the perfor-

mance of the engine, and its emissions. Ad-

herence to legislation on pollution cannot be

guaranteed under such conditions.

1 Safety measures

Danger

Indicates that great potential danger exists

that can lead to serious injury or death.

Warning

Indicates that a potential danger that can lead

to injury exists.

Caution

Indicates that the usage procedures, actions

etc. concerned can result in serious damage

to or destruction of the engine. Some CAU-

TION indications also advise that a potential

danger exists that can lead to serious injury or

death.

note

Emphasises important procedures, circum-

stances etc.

Symbols

Indicates that the relevant procedure

must be carried out.

Indicates that a particular action is for-

bidden.

Pass the safety precautions on to other peo-

ple who will use the engine.

General rules and laws concerning safety

and accident prevention must always be ob-

served.

Warning indications

The following warning indications are used in

this manual in the context of safety:

Warning indications

1 Safety measures

• Do not smoke if refuelling.

• Avoid spilling fuel on hot surfaces. Spilled

fuel must be cleaned up immediately.

• Do not use petrol or diesel to clean compo-

nents but make use of good quality, non-

inammable, non-poisonous solvents that

are available from dealers.

• Always be alert to possible fuel or oil leak-

age!

If you discover a leak, take counter-meas-

ures immediately. If fuel or oil is spilled on

a hot engine, re can break out. This can

cause physical injury or damage to the

equipment.

• Do not ll the fuel tank while the engine is

running!

Only refuel with the engine stopped.

• Never put ammable materials in the vicin-

ity of the engine!

• Keep the engine and engine compartment

clean!

Remove all inammable materials such as

fuel, oil and other litter before it builds up

in the vicinity of the engine.

• Connecting (emergency) extra starting bat-

tery

Proceed as follows when an extra starting

battery is used to jump start the engine:

- First connect the positive lead

- Lastly connect the earth cable (negative

pole) to the engine block

If this cable is connected in error to the

negative pole of the engine battery, a

spark can occur. The result of this could

be that explosive gas produced by the

battery explodes.

- Once the engine is started, rst remove the

earth cable.

Preventing re and explosion

Fire risk!

1 Safety measures Prevention of injury

• The moving parts of the engine are danger-

ous. Never touch moving parts of the en-

gine while it is running, to prevent cuts and

other injuries.

• Stop the engine before carrying out main-

tenance!

• Always stop the engine before topping up

or replacing fuel, oil or coolant.

• Before carrying out inspection or mainte-

nance, the ignition key must be removed

and the main battery switch turned o.

• Satisfy yourself that everything is in order

before the engine is started again!

Make sure that no-one is working on or

close to the engine before you start it. Re-

move all foreign objects from around the

engine, such as litter, oil, tools and other

components that are not part of the engine.

• Install all protective covers!

To prevent injury, make sure that all protec-

tive covers and cover plates are replaced

over moving parts.

• Remove any tool used to turn the engine

over. If you leave this in position, serious in-

jury or damage to the equipment can result.

• NEVER open the cap of the expansion tank

when the engine is at working temperature.

• Only check the coolant level after the en-

gine has been stopped and the ller cap on

the heat exchanger is cool enough to be re-

moved with bare hands.

• Never attempt to adjust the fan belt on a

running engine.

1 Safety measures Prevention of injury

• Be careful with battery acid!

If battery acid comes in contact with the

eyes or skin, rinse the aected part imme-

diately with copious amounts of water. If

battery acid comes in contact with the eyes,

rinse them out immediately with plenty of

water and consult a doctor.

• Be careful with antifreeze!

If you accidentally swallow antifreeze, make

yourself vomit and consult a doctor imme-

diately. If antifreeze comes in contact with

your eyes, wash them out immediately with

plenty of water and consult a doctor.

• Make sure that you are wearing suitable

clothing before starting work!

For your own safety you will most likely

need special equipment – safety helmet,

eye protection, safety boots, safety gog-

gles, heavy gloves, ear protectors etc. Use

them when necessary.

• Carry out maintenance procedures safely

by only using suitable tools.

• Exhaust gases

Do not start the engine if the exhaust sys-

tem is not connected.

When the engine stops suddenly:

If the engine stops suddenly, do not start it

again immediately. Track down the cause and

carry out the necessary repairs before you

start the engine again. If you do not do this,

serious engine problems can develop.

If the oil pressure is too low:

Stop the engine immediately and check the

lubrication system. Running an engine with

low oil pressure can cause bearing and other

parts to seize.

lf the engine overheats:

If the engine should overheat, do not switch

it o immediately. If an overheated engine is

stopped suddenly, this can cause the coolant

temperature to rise rapidly and moving parts

to seize. First let the engine run in neutral to al-

low the hot parts of the engine to cool down,

stop the engine and allow it to cool, and then

gradually top up the coolant. Remember:

adding coolant to an overheated engine can

cause damage to the cylinder head.

If the fan belt is broken:

Immediately stop the engine. If an engine is

used with a broken fan belt, this can lead to

the engine overheating, which in turn can

cause coolant to spray out of the expansion

tank.

If the engine behaves strangely:

Stop the engine or reduce the speed as far as

possible.

Do not use the engine again until the cause of

the defect has been solved.
