1.1 Manual's Purpose This manual contains the instructions needed to carry out proper use and maintenance of the engine, therefore it must always be available, for future reference when required. This manual is an integral part of the engine, in the event of transfer or sale, it must be attached to it. Safety pictograms can be found on the engine and it is the operator's responsibility to keep them in a perfectly visible place and replace them when they are no longer legible. Information, description and pictures in this manual reflect the state of the art at the time of the marketing of engine. However, development on the engines is continuous. Therefore, the information within this manual is subject to change without notice and without obligation. KOHLER reserves the right to make, at any time, changes in the engines for technical or commercial reasons. These changes do not require KOHLER to intervene on the marketed production up to that time and not to consider this manual as inappropriate. Any additional section that KOHLER will deem necessary to supply some time after the main text shall be kept together with the manual and considered as an integral part of it. The information contained within this manual is the sole property of KOHLER. As such, no reproduction or replication in whole or part is allowed without the express written permission of KOHLER.

1.2 Glossary and Definitions The paragraphs, tables and figure are divided into chapter with their progressive numbers. Es: Par. 2.3 - chapter 2 paragraph 3. Tab. 3.4 - chapter 3 table 4. Fig. 5.5 - chapter 5 figure 5. The references of the objects described in the text and in figure and number are indicated by letters, which are always and only related to the paragraph you are reading unless there are specific references to other figures or paragraphs. NOTE: All data, measurements and relevant symbols are shown in the glossary section.   

1.3 Emission-Related Installation Instructions Failing to follow the instructions in the applications guidebook when installing a certified engine in a piece of nonroad equipment violates federal law (40 CFR 1068.105(b)), subject to fines or other penalties as described in the Clean Air Act.OEM must apply a separate label with the following statement: “ULTRA LOW SULFUR FUEL ONLY” near the fuel inlet.Ensure you are installing an engine appropriately certified for your application. Constant speed engines may only be installed on constant speed equipment for constant speed operation.If you install the engine in a way that makes the engine's emission control information label hard to read during normal engine maintenance, you must place a duplicate label on the equipment, as described in 40 CFR 1068.105.

1.5 Engine component identification

1.6 ATS (After Treatment System) A: Turbocharger B: Turbine exhaust pipe NOTE: The ATS system is only present for versions that conform to "Stage V" emission regulations. The ATS system can be mounted differently than the figure. The ATS system reduces emissions because the DPF eliminates the particulates generated by the combustion of the diesel. The system starts automatic regeneration cycles of the DPF based on the level of clogging. The smell of the gases emitted by the exhaust line is different from that of traditional gases of diesel engines. Also, during the regeneration phases, the exhaust gases could be  temporarily white. The minimum engine speed increases during the forced regeneration phases. See Par. 4.7 for the regeneration strategies of the DPF.

2.4 Oil   Important The engine may be damaged if operated with improper oil level. Do not exceed the MAX level because a sudden increase in engine rpm could be caused by its combustion. Use only the recommended oil to ensure adequate protection, efficiency and service life of the engine. The use of lubricants other than recommended may shorten the engine life. Viscosity must be appropriate to the ambient temperature to which the engine is to be exposed.   Danger Prolonged skin contact with the exhausted engine oil can cause cancer of the skin. If contact with oil cannot be avoided, thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water as soon as possible. For the exhausted oil disposal, refer to the Par. DISPOSAL and SCRAPPING. 2.4.1 SAE oil classification In the SAE classification, oils are identified according to viscosity without considering any other qualitative characteristic. The code is composed of two numbers, which indicate, and must correspond to, the ambient temperature in which the engine operates, the first number refers to the viscosity when cold, for use during winter ("W"), while the second number is for viscosity at high temperatures.   Use oil viscosity based on the experienced air temperature range during the period between oil changes as indicated in the table below. Kohler / Rehlko X-treme 10W-40 formula pro; X-treme 10W-40; X-treme 5W-40 oil are preferred:       Oils meeting the following specifications are also recommended.   2.2 RECCOMENDED OIL      TCR STAGE-V (*1) (*2) TCR TIER IV FINAL (*1)  TCR/D TIER III o NON CERTIFICATO (*3) WITH SPECIFICATIONS  API CJ-4 Low S.A.P.S CK-4 Low S.A.P.S CJ-4 Low S.A.P.S CK-4 Low S.A.P.S CI-4 Plus CI-4 CH-4 ACEA E6 Low S.A.P.S.

The presence of sulfated ash, phosphorus and sulfur causes with time the catalyst clogging and its consequent inefficiency. For Mid S.A.P.S oil sequence the sulfated ash level is the same as API CJ-4 ≤ 1.0% but as per ACEA standardization those oils are referenced as mid SAPS. Filtration of oils is critical to proper operation and lubrication; always change filters regularly as specified in this manual.   (*1) NOTE: Do NOT use fuel with sulphur content above 15ppm.   (*2) - On all engines compliant with Stage-V emission regulation (engines with DPF device), the oil to use must comply with the specification API CJ-4 Low S.A.P.S or ACEA E6 Low S.A.P.S.   (*3) - NOTE: Do NOT use fuel with sulphur content above 500ppm.   (*3) - NOTE: Low S.A.P.S. oils, sulfate ashes <1% may not be used with fuels with a sulfur content >50ppm.

2.5 Fuel Important Use of other types of fuel could damage the engine. Do not use dirty diesel fuel or mixtures of diesel fuel and water since this will cause serious engine faults. Warning Clean fuel prevents the fuel injectors from clogging. Immediately clean up any spillage during refuelling.  Never store diesel fuel in galvanized containers (i.e. coated with zinc). Diesel fuel and the galvanized coating react chemically to each other, producing flaking that quickly clogs filters or causes fuel pump and/or injector failure. Any failure resulting from the use of fuel other than Tab. 2.3, 2.4 will not be covered by warranty.   Cetane number of 40 minimum. Cetane number greater than 47 is preferred, especially for temperatures below –20 °C (–4 °F) or elevations above 1675 m (5500 ft.).   2.3  Certification --> Stage 5Stage 4 Stage 3B Stage 3A Tier IVF Tier III no certification (*1) Remarks   *1: the regions known as poor lubricity diesel fuel quality or if the engine is operated with Jet fuels, the primary filter must be with lubricity dosing capability. Contact Kohler for information about the approved filter for this purpose. Fuel Type --> (EN 590 - DIN 51628) (EN 590 - DIN 51628) Do NOT USE vegetable oils as a biofuel not compliant with EN590 prescription. HVO 100% (EN 15940) Power and torque might be 1% to 5% lower due to low fuel density compared to standard diesel fuel. Military NATO Fuel F-54 (S = 10 ppm) JIS K 2204 No.1, No.2 Grade 1-D S15 For ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) with no arctic fuel available (Grade 1-D S15, Grade 2-D S15, ASTM D 975) use the following additives to prevent possible engine damage with low engine load in cold weather:   Power Service Diesel Fuel Supplement+Cetane Boost  Different additives are not allowed. The use of approved additives has no impact on the engine maintenance schedule.   Do NOT USE vegetable oils as a biofuel not compliant with ASTM D975 Grade1 and Grade2 prescription. Grade 2-D S15 Sulphur Fuel S < 500 ppm Sulphur Fuel S < 500 ppm High Sulphur Fuel S < 2000 ppm High Sulphur Fuel S < 2000 ppm     F-34/F-35 (kerosene, NATO designation) Operations with Jet Fuels   The jet fuels can be used but only adopting an additional fuel filter with lubricity doser. Because of lower density and greater leak fuel volume due to lower viscosity, depending on the engine speed and torque, a power loss up to 10% is possible. There are some problematical fuel proprieties amongst the listed jet fuels (viscosity, lubricating capacities and low boiling point). A slight increase in wear in the injection system is to be expected which can lead to a statistically shorter life of these components. Sulphur content must be below 2000ppm. F-44 (kerosene, NATO designation) F-63 (kerosene, NATO designation, equivalent to F-34/F-35 with additives) JP-8 (kerosene, US military designation) JP-5 (kerosene, US military designation) Jet A (kerosene for civil aviation) Jet A1 (kerosene for civil aviation)     2.5.1 Fuel Additives To aid in maintaining performance of the engines injection system, Rehlko has developed a family of fuel additives product for North America market. The Extra Performance Fuel Additive Arctic Formula a fuel conditioner in winter, the Extra Performance Fuel Additive a fuel injector deposit removal and prevention. See your local Rehlko dealer for availability.     2.4 Extra Performance Fuel Additive (North America only) Use Rehlko Injector Cleaner Diesel Fuel Additive before filling the tank once a year or every 500hrs with summer or winter grade fuel. Formulated to clean deposits from injectors and provide lubrication to high pressure pump and injectors to reduce wear, increasing fuel quality. Compatible with all exhaust emission system, including diesel particulate filters (DPFs). Follow all recommended instruction on product label. Extra Performance Fuel Additive Arctic Formula (North America only) Use Rehlko Extra Performance Fuel Additive Arctic Formula, which contains anti-gel chemistry to treat non-winter grad fuel (No. 2-D in North America) during the cold-weather season. This extends the operability to about 10°C (18°F) below the could point. For operability at even lower temperatures, use winter grade fuel. Treat the fuel when the outside temperature drops below 0°C (32°F). For best results, use untreated fuel and follow all recommended instruction on product label. Cloud point is the temperature at which wax begins to from in the fuel causing filters to plug.   Fuel additives with biocide/algaecide functions are allowed in case of storage of fuel in the tank for long periods (one year or more). For suggested brands and types contact Rehlko staff NOTE: These additives must be diluted in the fuel following the product prescribed percentages when filling the tank.    

2.6 Coolant recommendation Kohler / Rehlko XtendedTM prediluted coolant 50% ethylene glycol OAT is preferred.     Coolant meeting the following specifications are also recommended.    A mixture of 50% demineralized water and 50% low silicate ethylene glycol based coolant liquid must be used.Use a Long Life or Extended Life Heavy Duty OAT coolant free of: silicates, phosphates, borates, nitrites and amines. The following ethylene-glycol based engine coolant for all models within KDI engine family may be used:   OAT (Organic Acid Technology) Low Silicate: ASTM D-3306 D-6210 HOAT (Hybrid Organic Acid Technology) Low Silicate: ASTM D-3306 D-6210   The above coolants in concentrated formulation must be mixed with distilled, deionized, or demineralized water. A pre-mixed formulation (40-60% or 50-50%) can be used directly when available.   Important Do not mix ethylene glycol and propylene glycol based coolants. Do not mix OAT and HOAT based coolant. OAT performance life can be drastically reduced if contaminated with nitrite-containing coolants. Never use automotive-type coolants. These coolants do not contain the correct additives to protect heavy – duty diesel engines.   OAT coolants are maintenance free up to 6 years or 6000hrs of operation , provided that the cooling system is topped up using the same type of coolant. Do not mix different coolant types. Test the coolant condition annually with coolant test strips.HOAT are not all maintenance free and it is recommended to have SCA (Supplemental Coolant Additives) added at the first maintenance interval.

3.1 Safety information The intended use of the engine is in conformity with the machine on which it is mounted. Any use of the machine other than that described cannot be considered as complying with its intended purpose as specified by KOHLER. KOHLER declines all responsibility for any change to the engine not described in this manual made by unauthorized KOHLER personnel. A proper use of the engine, a strict observance of the rules listed below and the rigorous application of all these precautions will avoid the risk of accidents or injuries. Those who carry out the use and maintenance on the engine must wear the safety equipment and the accident-prevention guards. KOHLER declines all direct and indirect liability for failure to comply with the standards of conduct contained in this manual. KOHLER is not responsible for any unreasonable use or neglect that may cause a potential danger.  

3.2 General remarks 3.2.1 Note for OEM When installing the KDI engines, always bear in mind that any variation to the functional systems may result in serious failures to the engine. Any improvement must be verified at KOHLER testing laboratories before application of the engine. In case the approval to a modification is not granted, KOHLER shall not be deemed responsible for any consequential failures or damages to the engine. Those who carry out the use and maintenance on the engine must wear the safety equipment and the accident-prevention guards. KOHLER declines all direct and indirect liability for failure to comply with the standards of conduct contained in this manual. KOHLER cannot consider every reasonably unforeseeable misuse that may cause a potential danger. 3.2.2 Note for end user The following indications are dedicated to the user of the machine in order to reduce or eliminate risks concerning engine operation and the relative routine maintenance work. The user must read these instructions carefully. Failure to do this could lead to serious danger for his personal safety and health and that of any persons who may be in the vicinity of the machine. On starting, make sure that the engine is as horizontal as possible, unless the machine specifications differ. Make sure that the machine is stable to prevent the risk of overturning. The engine must not operate in places containing inflammable materials, in explosive atmospheres, where there is dust that can easily catch fire unless specific, adequate and clearly indicated precautions have been taken and have been certified for the machine. To prevent fire hazards, always keep the machine at least one meter from buildings or from other machinery. Children and animals must be kept at a due distance from operating machines in order to prevent hazards deriving from their operation. Thoroughly wash and clean all the external parts of the engine before performing any operation, in order to avoid the accidental introduction of impurities/foreign bodies. Use only water and/or appropriate products to clean the engine. If cleaning engine with a pressure washer or steam cleaner, it is important to maintain a minimum distance of at least 200mm between the surface to be washed and the nozzle. Avoid directing the nozzle on electrical components, cable connections and sealed rings (oil seals etc). Thoroughly wash and clean the area surrounding the engine following the instructions provided by machine manufacturer. Fuel and oil are inflammable. The tank must only be filled when the engine is off. Before starting, dry any spilt fuel. Make sure that no soundproofing panels and the ground or floor on which the machine is standing have not soaked up any fuel. Fuel vapour is highly toxic. Only refuel outdoors or in a well ventilated place Do not smoke or use open flames when refuelling. During operation, the surface of the engine can become dangerously hot. Avoid touching the exhaust system in particular. Before proceeding with any operation on the engine, stop it and allow it to cool. Always open the radiator plug or expansion chamber with the utmost caution, wearing protective garments and goggles. The coolant fluid is under pressure. Never carry out any inspections until the engine has cooled. If there is an electric fan, do not approach the engine when it is still hot as the fan could also start operating when the engine is at a standstill. The oil must be drained whilst the engine is hot. Particular care is required to prevent burns. Do not allow oil to come into contact with the skin because of the health hazards involved. It is recommended to use an oil intake pump. During operations that involve access to moving parts of the engine and/or removal of rotating guards, disconnect and insulate the negative wire (-) of the battery to prevent accidental short-circuits and to stop the starter motor from being energized. Check belt tension only when the engine is off. Fully tighten the tank cap each time after refuelling. Do not fill the tank right to the top but leave an adequate space for the fuel to expand. To start the engine follow the specific instructions provided in the engine and/or machine operating manual. Do not use auxiliary starting devices not originally installed on the machine (e.g. Startpilot). Before starting, remove any tools that were used to service the engine and/or machine. Make sure that all guards have been refitted. Do not mix fuel with elements such as oil or kerosene. Failure to comply with this prohibition will cause the non-operation of the catalyst and non-observance of the emissions declared by KOHLER. Pay attention to the temperature of the oil filter when the filter itself is replaced. Only check, top up and change the coolant fluid when the engine is off and reached the ambient temperature. Coolant fluid is polluting, it must therefore be disposed of in the correct way. Do not use air and water jets at high pressures on cables, connectors and injectors.   Important Only use the eyebolts A installed by KOHLER to move the engine (Fig. 3.1). The angle between each lifting chain and the eyebolts shall not exceed 15° inwards. The correct tightening of the lifting screws is 25Nm. Do not interpose spacers or washers between the eyebolts and engine head. Engines equipped with an ATS device require regeneration to be inhibited if the engine is used in environments at risk of fire (e.g. forest areas, areas with flammable materials, areas with flammable gases or liquids and any type of combustible material - if the function is available). Fig 3.1

3.4 Information and safety signals   ACCIDENTAL START   Accidental Starts can cause severe injury or death. Before working on the engine or equipment, disconnect the battery negative (-) wire. HOT PARTS Hot Parts can cause severe burns. Engine components can get extremely hot from operation. Do not touch engine while operating or just after stopping. Never operate the engine with heat shields or guards removed. ROTATING PARTS Rotating Parts can cause severe injury. Stay away while engine is in operation. Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all moving parts to prevent injury. Never operate the engine with covers, shrouds, or guards removed. LETHAL EXHAUST GASES Carbon Monoxide can cause severe nausea, fainting or death. Avoid inhaling exhaust fumes and never run the engine in a closed building or confined area. Carbon monoxide is toxic, odorless, colorless, and can cause death if inhaled. ELECTRICAL SHOCK Electrical Shock can cause injury. Do not touch wires while engine is running. HIGH PRESSURE FLUID RISK OF PUNCTURE High Pressure Fluids can puncture skin and cause severe injury or death. Do not work on fuel system without proper training or safety equipment. Fluid puncture injuries are highly toxic and hazardous. If an injury occurs, seek immediate medical attention. EXPLOSIVE FUEL Explosive fuel can cause fires and severe burns. Fuel is flammable and its vapours can ignite. Store fuel only in approved containers, in well ventilated, unoccupied buildings. Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is hot or running, since spilled fuel could ignite if it comes in contact with hot parts or sparks from ignition. Do not start the engine near spilled fuel. Never use fuel as a cleaning agent. EXPLOSIVE GAS Explosive Gas can cause fires and severe acid burns. Charge battery only in a well ventilated area. Keep sparks, open flames, and other sources of ignition away from the battery at all times. Batteries produce explosive hydrogen gas while being charged. Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Remove all jewelry when servicing batteries. Before disconnecting the negative (-) ground cable, make sure all switches are OFF. If ON, a spark will occur at the ground cable terminal which could cause an explosion. CALIFORNIA WARNING - DECLARATION 65 Engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

3.5 Safety and environmental impact Every organisation has a duty to implement procedures to identify, assess and monitor the influence of its own activities (products, services, etc.) on the environment. Procedures for identifying the extent of the impact on the environment must consider the following factors: - Liquid waste. - Waste management. - Soil contamination. - Atmospheric emission. - Use of raw materials and natural resources. - Regulations and directives regarding environmental impact. In order to minimise the impact on the environment, KOHLER now provides a number of indications to be followed by all persons handling the engine, for any reason, during its expected lifetime. - All components and fluids must be disposed of in accordance with the laws of the country in which disposal is taking place. - Keep the fuel and engine control systems and the exhaust pipes in efficient working order to limit environmental and noise pollution. - When discontinuing use of the engine, select all components according to their chemical characteristics and dispose of them separately.

3.6 Location of safety labels on engine  

4.1 Pre-start check Read carefully the following pages and carry out the operations described below in accordance with the instructions specified.   Important Non compliance with the operations described in the following pages involves the risk of damages to the engine and vehicle on which it is installed as well as personal and/or property damage. Increase the frequency of maintenance operations in heavy working conditions (engine starts but stops, very dusty and hot environments, etc..).

4.2 Running-in period NOTE: For the first 50 hours of engine operation, it is advisable not to exceed 75% of the maximum power supplied.  

4.3 Starting and turning off 4.3.1 Starting Check the level of the engine oil, fuel and coolant and fill if necessary (Par. 4.5 e Par. 4.6). Put the ignition key in the ignition switch (if supplied). Tun the key to ON position. Turn the key beyond the ON position and release it when the engine starts (the key will return into ON position automatically).  Important At the first fuelling or if the tank was empty filling the fuel system (Par. 6.4 point 8). Do not actuate the starter for more than 15 seconds at a time. If the engine does not start, wait for one minute before repeating attempt. If engine does not start after two attempts see Tab. 7.1 and Tab. 7.2 to found the cause. 4.3.2 After starting   Warning Make sure that all the warning lights on the control panel are off when the engine is running. Run at minimum speed for a few minutes according to table (except constant speed engine).   NOTE: To avoid damaging the engine do not use it mostly at idle for a long time (MAX 30min.).   AMBIENT TEMPERATURE TIME ≤ -20°C 2 minutes from -20°C a -10°C 1 minutes from -10°C a -5°C 30 seconds from -5°C a 5°C 20 seconds ≥ 5°C 15 seconds 4.3.3 Turning off Do not turn off the engine when it is running at the maximum rotation speed (except constant speed engine). Before turning it off, keep it idle at minimum speed for about 1 minute. Turn the key to OFF position.  

4.4 Refuelling   Important Before proceeding with operation, read Par. 3.2.2.     Danger Fill the engine off. The only approved fuels are those listed in Tab. 2.3. In those countries where fuel has a high sulphur content, its is advisable to lubricate the engine with a high alkaline oil or alternatively to replace the lubricating oil recommended by KOHLER more frequently. To avoid explosions or fire outbreaks, do not smoke or use open flames during the operations. Fuel vapours are highly toxic. Only carry out the operations outdoors or in a well ventilated place. Keep your face well away from the fuel fill to prevent harmful vapours from being inhaled. Dispose of fuel in the correct way and do not litter as it is highly polluting. When refuelling, it is advisable to use a funnel to prevent fuel from spilling out.The fuel should also be filtered to prevent dust or dirt from entering the tank. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Leave room for the fuel to expand. NOTE: At the first fuelling or if the tank was empty filling the fuel system (Par. 6.4 point 8).  

4.5 Oil filling   Important For safety precautions see Par. 2.4. Before proceeding with operation, read Par. 3.2.2. Do not use the engine with the oil level below the minimum. Loosen the oil filler cap A or the oil filler cap C if the cap A is not accessible. Add the oil of type recommended (Tab. 2.1 and Tab. 2.2). Fig 4.1 Before checking oil engine needs to be level. Remove the oil dipstick B and check that the level is up to but does not exceed the MAX. If level is not at the MAX. level, add additional oil. Re-tighten the cap A or C. Fig 4.2 NOTE: Click on the right to play the procedure.  

4.6 Coolant filling   Important Before proceeding with operation, read Par. 3.2.2.     Warning An anti-freeze protection liquid (ANTIFREEZE) - mixed with decalcified water - must be used. The freezing point of the refrigerant mixture depends on the amount concentration in water. As well as lowering the freezing point, the antifreeze also raises the boiling point. A 50% mixture is recommended to ensure a general level at protection prevents the formation of rust, galvanic currents and calcium deposits. NOTE: Before proceeding with any operation on the engine, stop it and allow it to cool. Warning Presence of steam pressurized coolant danger of burns. Loosen the cap A and fill the radiator with coolant composed of: 50% ANTIFREEZE and 50% decalcified water. Top liquid up until the pipes inside the radiator are covered by about 5 mm. Do not overfill the radiator, but leave room for the coolant to expand. For engines equipped with expansion tank, pour in fluid until reaching the max level mark. Loosen the screw C, release any air and tighten the screw C (Tightening torque of 8 Nm - Fig. 4.6). Re-tighten the cap A. After a few hours of operator, stop the engine and allow the liquid to cool returns to a ambient temperature and check the coolant level again.

Combustion Chemical reaction of a mixture composed of fuel and fuel (air) inside a combustion chamber. Common Rail A high-pressure "Common Duct" that produces a constant supply of fuel directly to the injectors.   D   DOC Diesel Oxidation Catalyst - Catalyst for diesel engines that reduces harmful exhaust gas emissions produced by the engine. DPF Diesel Particulate Filter - A filter that captures particles of carbonaceous origin emitted by diesel engines.   E   EC "European Community". ECS "Emission Control System" ECU "Electronic Control Unit"; an electronic device in charge of electronically detecting and controlling other electronic control devices. EGR Exhaust Gas Recirculation, in internal combustion engines; a system that enables recirculation of combusted gas by means of taking it in once again, which enables it to break down a part of the pollutants present in the exhaust gas. EGR Cooler Recirculated exhaust gas cooling; a system that is able to cool recirculated gas (EGR) from the exhaust. This enables the temperature to remain constant inside the intake manifold, thus improving combustion inside the cylinders and breaking down pollutants further. Electronic injector An electronically activated component able to inject jets of atomised fuel inside the cylinders. EPA "Environmental Protection Agency - The United States' authority that safeguards the environment" ; its duty is to govern and control polluting emissions. ETB Electronic Throttle Body - This is controlled by the ECU upon request of the accelerator pedal, and its function is crucial for the correct regeneration of the ATS system.   F   Fig. Figure.   G   Galvanised Material that has undergone surface protection treatment.   H   Heavy conditions Type of extreme condition referred to the work environment in which the engine is used (very dusty - dirty area, or in a contaminated environment due to various types of gas).   I   Intercooler Air-cooling element under pressure from the turbo situated between the turbine and intake manifold.   K   KDI "Kohler Direct Injection"   M   Maintenance - periodic A group of maintenance actions that have the sole objective to control and replace elements on their expiry, without modifying or improving the functions carried out by the system, neither increasing the value nor improving performance.
