Foreword
Dear Customer,
Air / liquid-cooled Deutz engines are designed
for a large number of applications. Conse-
quently, a wide range of variants is offered to
meet the requirements of specific cases.
Your engine is appropriately equipped for the
installation concerned, which means that not
all of the components described in this Opera-
tion Manual are necessarily mounted to your
engine.
We have endeavoured to highlight any differ-
ences so that you will be able to locate theses
differences relevant to your engine.
Please read this Manual before starting your
engine, and always observe the operating and
maintenance instructions.
We are available to help with any additional
inquiries
Sincerely,
DEUTZ AG

Proposition 65 Warning
Please contact one of our authorized service
representatives in the event of breakdowns or for
spare parts inquiries. Our trained specialists will
carry out repairs quickly and professionally, using
only genuine spare parts.
Original parts from DEUTZ AG are always produced
in accordance with state-of-the-art technology.
Please turn to the end of this manual for further
service information.
Diesel engine exhaust and some of its consti-
tuents are known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects, and other repro-
ductive harm.
Care and Maintenance
Sound care and maintenance practices will ensure
that the engine continues to meet the requirements
placed on it. Recommended service intervals must
be observed and service and maintenance work
carried out conscientiously.
Special care should be taken under abnormally

and accident prevention regulations laid down by
law must also be observed.
Asbestos
DEUTZ original parts are asbestos-
free.
DEUTZ Diesel Engines
are the product of many years of research and
development. The resulting know-how, coupled
with stringent quality standards, guarantee their
long service life, high reliability and low fuel
consumption.
It goes without saying that DEUTZ Diesel Engines
meet the highest standards for environmental
protection.
Beware of Running Engine
Shut the engine down before carrying out mainte-
nance or repair work. Ensure that the engine cannot
be accidentally started. Risk of accidents.
When the work is complete, be sure to refit any
panels and guards that may have been removed.
Never fill the fuel tank while the engine is running.
Observe industrial safety regulations when running
the engine in an enclosed space or underground.

extreme cases, starting behaviour, are im-

As the viscosity of the lube oil is dependent
on temperature, the choice of SAE grade
should be governed by the ambient tempera-
ture 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 be-
low 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.
At least: E1-96
It is recommended to operate the engines
with Deutz Oil TLX10W-40FE Europe. If
this is not available, use the appropriate oil as
Lube oils are differentiated according to their

5.2 Maintenance Charts Routine Maintenance
The maintenance charts shown on this page
are supplied as self-adhesive labels with
each engine. They should be affixed where
they can be seen clearly on the engine or
driven equipment.
Check that this is the case.
If necessary, ask your engine or equipment
supplier for a fresh supply of labels!
Routine work should be carried out accord-
ing to the schedule (see chapter 5.1).
Stop the engine before carrying
out any maintenance work.
