Commissioning and operation
25
Raw water pump
Do not let raw water pump run dry.
Make sure that all valves / cocks in the
raw water circuit are open.
If there is a risk of frost, drain the raw
water pump.
Starting
Insert key in starting lock.
Press starter button, moving control lever
against stop “maximum engine speed”.
Do not operate starter for longer than
10 seconds at a time.
After ignition of the engine, release the
starter button and adjust control lever for
desired speed.
If engine fails to start, release the key,
wait about 30 seconds, then operate
starter again.
Avoid running the cold engine for any
length of time since in any internal com-
bustion engine this is liable to cause in-
creased wear due to corrosion. Prolonged
idling is harmful to the environment.
Note:
On initial start of an overhauled engine
or after long periods without use, press
shut-down lever in “stop” position and
operate starter motor for a few sec-
onds (max. 10) until oil pressure is
indicated. Only then the engine should
be started in the normal way.
Running in
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. In-
itial run-in should be at varying speeds.
After this initial run-in, the engine should
be brought up to full output gradually.
During operation
Do not overload the engine. Do not ex-
ceed the maximum permissible engine
tilt. If faults occur, find their cause im-
mediately and have them eliminated in
order to prevent more serious dam-
age!
During operation the oil pressure in the
engine lubrication system must be moni-
tored. If the monitoring devices register a
drop in the lube oil pressure, switch off the
engine immediately.
The coolant temperature should be
approx. 80 to 85
°
C.
The charge warning light of the alternator
should go out when the engine is running.
