Commissioning and operation
16
First commissioning
When putting a new or overhauled engine into operation for the first time pay attention to
the “Installation instructions for MAN marine diesel engines” without fail.
It is recommended that new or overhauled engines should not be operated at a load
higher than about 75% maximum load during the first few hours of operation. Initial run-in
should be at varying speeds. After this initial run-in, the engine should be brought up to
full output gradually.
Note:
Use only approved fuels, lubricants etc. (see brochure “Fuels, lubricants etc.”).
Otherwise the manufacturer’s warranty will become null and void.
Filling with fuel
Caution:
Fill the tank only when the engine is switched off. Pay attention to cleanliness.
Do not spill fuel.
Use only approved fuels (see “Fuels, Lubricants etc.”).
Filling-in of coolant
Fill the cooling system of the engine with a mixture of drinkable tap water and anti-freeze
agent on ethylene glycole basis or anti-corrosion agent.
See Publication “Fuels, Lubricants and Coolants for MAN Diesel Engines”.
