loose supplied items.
14.4.1.1 Engine turning device (9N15)
The crankshaft can be slowly rotated with the turning device for maintenance purposes and
for engine slowturning. The engine turning device is controlled with an electric motor via a
frequency converter. The frequency converter is to be mounted on the external system. The
electric motor ratings are listed in the table below.

14.4.1.2 Pre-lubricating oil pump
The pre-lubricating oil pump must always be running when the engine is stopped. The engine
control system handles start/stop of the pump automatically via a motor starter.
It is recommended to arrange a back-up power supply from an emergency power source.
Diesel generators serving as the main source of electrical power must be able to resume their
operation in a black out situation by means of stored energy. Depending on system design
and classification regulations, it may be permissible to use the emergency generator.
Electric motor ratings are listed in the table below.
