B. Maintenance Instructions
B.1 General maintenance instructions
B.1.1 Checks before starting
• Oil level
• Cooling system leaks
• Visual check for any changes, leaks oil drain system, v-belt, cable connections, hose clips, air
filter, fuel lines
Once a month
• Lubrication of actuator-trapezoid thread spindle
Maintenance see Table F.4, “Inspection checklist for services,” on Page IX.
B.1.2 Hose elements and rubber formed component in the sound cover
Check all hoses and hose connections for good condition. The rubber hoses are very sensitive to
enviromental influences. They can season fast with dry air, in which environment of muted oil and
fuel steams and increased temperature. The hoses must be checked regularly for elasticity.
There are operating situations, at which the hoses must be renewed once in the year.
Additionally to usual tasks of maintenance (oil level check, oil filter control etc.) further mainte-
nance activities are to be accomplished for marine aggregates.
B.2 Oil circuit maintenance
The first oil change is to be accomplished after a period of operation from 35 to 50 hours. After-
wards the oil is to be changed after 100 hours. For this the oil SAE30 for temperatures over 20°C
and SAE20 for temperatures between 5°C and 20°C is to be used. At temperatures under 5°C oil
of the viscosity SAE10W or 10W-30 is prescribed.
Type and amount of required oil see:Table F.5, “Engine oil,” on Page X and Table F.2, “Technical
Data Engine,” on Page VII.
