Low ambient temperatures
Lubricating oil
z
Select the lubricating oil viscosity according to
the ambient temperature.
z
If cold starting occurs frequently cut the lube oil
changing interval by half.
Fuel
z
Use winter fuel below 0 °C (
28).
Battery
z
A good charging condition of the battery (
48)
is the prerequisite for starting the engine.
z
Heating up the battery to approx. 20°C improves
the starting behaviour of the engine. (Remove
and store the battery in a warm room).
0 °C
Cold start aid
z
Depending on the type of engine, glow plugs,
heating plugs, heating flange, flame glow system
can be used as cold starting aids.(

High ambient temperatures, high altitude
Under the following application and operating condi-
tions, the amount of fuel must be reduced.
z
above 1000 m altitude
z
above 30 °C ambient temperature
Reason: Air density decreases as altitude or ambient
temperature increase. This reduces the amount of
oxygen in the engine intake air and the fuel-air mix-
ture would be too rich if the injected amount of fuel
were not reduced.
z
The results would be:
– black smoke in the exhaust
– high engine temperature
– reduction in engine performance
– possible impairment of starting behaviour
Consult your equipment supplier or DEUTZ partner if
you have any other questions.
This engine can be equipped optionally
with an electronic DEUTZ control unit.
Under the operating conditions listed be-
low, the amount of fuel is reduced automat-
ically, controlled by the electronic control
unit.
