Safety guidelines / Accident prevention

Please read and observe the information
given in this Operation Manual. This will
enable you to avoid accidents, preserve the
manufacturers warranty and maintain the
engine in peak operating condition.
This engine has been built exclusively for
the application specified in the scope of
supply, as described by the equipment manufacturer 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 assume responsibility for any damage
resulting therefrom. The risks involved are
to be borne solely by the user.
Use in accordance with the intended purpose also implies compliance with the conditions laid down by the manufacturer for
operation, maintenance and servicing. The
engine should only be operated by personnel trained in its use and the hazards involved.
The relevant accident prevention guidelines
and other generally accepted safety and
industrial hygiene regulations must be observed.
When the engine is running, there is a risk of
injury through:
- turning/hot components
- engines with positive ignition
- ignition systems (high electrical voltage)
You must avoid contact at all times!
00_GB.p65
Unauthorized engine modifications will invalidate any liability claims against the manufacturer for resultant damage.
Manipulations of the injection and regulating
system may also influence the performance
of the engine, and its emissions. Adherence
to legislation on pollution cannot be guaranteed under such conditions.
Do not change, convert or adjust the cooling
air intake area to the blower.
The manufacturer shall not be held responsible for any damage which results from
such work.
When carrying out maintenance/repair operations on the engine, the use of DEUTZ
original parts is prescribed. These are specially designed for your engine and guarantee perfect operation.
Non-compliance results in the expiry of the
warranty!
Maintenance and cleaning of the engine
should only be carried out when the engine
is switched off and has cooled down.
You must ensure that the electrical systems
have been switched off and the ignition key
has been removed.
Accident prevention guidelines concerning
electrical systems (e.g. VDE-0100/-0101/0104/-0105 Electrical protective measures
against dangerous touch voltage) are to be
observed.
When cleaning with fluids, all electrical components are to be covered impermeably.

3.5 Operating Conditions

3.5.1 Winter Operation
Lube Oil Viscosity

Select the oil viscosity (SAE grade) according
to the ambient temperature when the engine is
started, see 4.1.2
Increase oil change frequency when operating
below -10 C, see 6.1.1
3
Battery
Efficient cold starting requires a healthy battery,
see 6.7.1
The starting limit temperatures can be lowered
by 4-5 C by heating the battery up to about
+20 C. (To do so, remove the battery and store
in a warm place.)
Diesel Fuel
Use winter-grade diesel fuel for operation below
0 C, see 4.2.2
Additional Maintenance Work
Drain the sludge from the fuel tank once a
week. (Unscrew the sludge drain plug.)
If necessary, allow the oil in the oil bath air
cleaner and the engine oil to settle at the
ambient temperature.
Below -20 C, after removing the starter if
necessary, smear the ring gear on the fly wheel
via the pinion bore from time to time with coldresistant grease
(e.g. Bosch grease FT 1 V 31).
Cold-Start Aid
At temperatures near or below freezing point,
use glow plugs if necessary, see 3.2.1. This not
only lowers the starting limit temperature, but
provides easier starting at temperatures normally not requiring a starting aid.

3.5 Operating Conditions
3.5.2 High Ambient Temperatures,

High Altitude
As the altitude and ambient temperature rise, the
density of air tends to decrease, which affects
the maximum power output of the engine, the
exhaust gas quality and, in extreme cases, the
starting behaviour. Under transient conditions,
the engine can be used at altitudes up to 1000 m
and temperatures up to 30 C. If the engine is to
operate under more severe conditions (at higher
altitudes or temperatures), it will be necessary to
reduce the injected fuel quantity and thus, engine
power.
If you have any doubts about engine operation
under these or similar conditions, ask your engine
or equipment supplier whether the engine has
been derated in the interests of reliability, service
life and exhaust gas quality (smoke). Otherwise
contact DEUTZ SERVICE.

SAE 15W/40
As the viscosity of the lube oil is dependent on

temperature, the choice of SAE grade should be
governed by the ambient temperature prevailing at
the engine operating site. Optimum operating
behaviour will be attained if you take the accompanying oil viscosity diagram as a guide.
Should the temperature fall temporarily below the
limits of SAE grade selected, cold starting may be
affected but the engine will not be damaged.
In order to keep wear to a minimum, do not exceed
application limits for extended periods of time.
Oil changes dictated by the seasons can be avoided
by using multi-grade lube oils. Multi-grade oils
particularly light-flowing oils also reduce fuel
consumption.
SAE 15W/30
Lube oils are differentiated according to their

performance and quality class. In common use are
specifications named after the API (American Petroleum Institute) and ACEA (European Engine Oil
Sequences).

Use commercially available diesel fuel with less

than 0.5 % sulphur content. If the sulphur content
is higher than 0.5 % oil change intervals should be
reduced, see 6.1.1
Waxing may occur at low temperatures, clogging

the fuel system and reducing engine efficiency. If
the ambient temperature is less than 0 C, wintergrade fuel (suitable down to -15 C) should be used.
(This fuel is usually available from the filling stations
well in advance of the cold months). Diesel fuel
containing additives (Super diesel) is often on sale
as well, for use down to -20 C.
The following fuel specifications / standards are

approved:
DIN EN 590
BS 2869: A1 and A2
(with A2, take note of the sulphur content!)
ASTM D 975-88; 1-D and 2-D
NATO Code F-54 and F-75
Any exhaust emission levels which may have been
determined during type approval tests always refer
to the reference fuel prescribed by the authorities
for the type approval test.
Below -20 C, petroleum must be added. For the

required mixing ratios please refer to the adjacent
diagram.
For artic climate zones down to -44 C special
diesel fuels can be used.
If summer-grade diesel fuel must be used at
temperatures below 0 C, up to 60% kerosene can
be added (see diagram).
In most cases, adequate resistance to cold can be
obtained by adding a flow improver (additive).
Please inquire at DEUTZ-PARTNER.

6.3 Cooling System
6.3.1 Cleaning Intervals
The amount of contamination in the cooling

system depends on the engine application.
Spilled oil or fuel on the engine increases the risk
of contamination. Be especially careful if the
engine is used in dusty environments.
Serious contamination can occur, for example:
on construction sites where there is a high
level of air-borne dust.
in harvesting application where there are high
concentrations of chaff and chopped straw in
the vicinity of the machine.
Because applications vary, cleaning intervals
have to be determined from case to case. The

6.7.3 Lifting Tackle
Notes on the three-phase system:

Never disconnect the cables between battery,
alternator and regulator while the engine is
running.
If, however, it is necessary to start and operate
the engine without the battery, disconnect the
regulator from the alternator before starting.
Be sure not to confuse the battery terminals.
Replace defective bulb of the charge pilot lamp
immediately.
When washing the engine, cover up the alternator
and regulator.
The habit of touching a lead against the frame to
check whether it is live must under no circumstances be used with three-phase electrical
systems.
In case of electric welding, connect the ground
terminal on the welder directly to the piece being
welded.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 INFORMATION
TO CALIFORNIA CUSTOMERS AND
TO CUSTOMERS SELLING DIESEL ENGINE EQUIPMENT INTO OR
FOR USE IN CALIFORNIA.
Proposition 65, a California law, requires warnings on products which expose individuals in California to chemicals listed under that law,
including certain chemicals in diesel engine exhaust.
Obligations of Manufactures of Diesel-Powered Off-Road Equipment. The California Superior Court has approved either of the following
two methods of compliance with Proposition 65 requirements by manufactures of off-road equipment containing diesel engines. (The court
order containing these provisions is attached.)
1. On-Equipment Warning. Place the warning pictured in attachment 1 on all equipment shipped by you into or for sale in California after
January 1, 1996. The warning must be in a location where it is easily visible to the operator of the equipment when (s)he is operating the
equipment. The warning must be secured to the equipment. If warnings or operating instructions are provided through a digital display,
you may usee that method of providing warning.
2. Operator Manual Warning. When the operator manual is next revised or by December 31, 1995 whichever is earlier, place the warning
in attachment 2 in the operator manual. The warning may be either printed in the manual or on a sticker.
The warning must appear in one of the following locations:
Inside The front cover

Inside the back cover
Outside the front cover
Outside the back cover
