2. Check
2.1 Engine Filters
CAUTION
Damage Hazard: If the oil supply to the damper is stopped, the
engine must be stopped immediately. Damage to the vibration
damper can occur. The oil supply must flow correctly before the
engine is started again.
Note: The vibration damper must not be operated until the cause is found and
the problem is repaired.
If damage occurs to engine bearings because of water contamination in the
lubricating oil, you must examine the vibration damper for damage as soon as
possible.
You must do regular checks of the engine filters for steel or bronze particles. If
particles are found in the housing, you must speak to, or send a message to the
supplier immediately.
If the oil pressure decreases to less than 1.0 bar, do not use the adjustable throttle in
the supply pipe (4, Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 ). You must investigate the cause of the pressure
decrease
2.2 Inner Spring Tips and Groove Flanks
Note: You must only disassemble the vibration damper if you think there is
damage, or the parts have become worn to more than the specified limits.
You must speak to the manufacturer for instructions.
Note: Only specialists can make adjustments of the vibration damper. The
torsional vibrations and these adjustments must be done at the same
time.
To do a check of the inner spring tips and groove flanks, do the procedure that
follows:
1) Stop the engine.
2) Remove the inspection cover from the vibration damper casing.
3) Examine the inner spring tips and groove flanks. Refer to the manufacturer’s
manual for the limits.
4) Attach the inspection cover to the vibration damper casing.
5) Start the engine.
Before you remove a vibration damper and balance weight, record their positions with
reference to the crankshaft position.
For the torque values of the coupling bolts (5), refer to
0352 − 1 .
For the test run after the first commissioning, the usual checks and servicing intervals,
refer to the manual of the vibration damper manufacturer.
