The instructions contained in this ”Maintenance Manual” are intended to help to
ensure that the maintenance which must be carried out at specific intervals is cor-
rectly carried out.
It is a precondition that the personnel charged with such important work possesses
the necessary training and experience.
Information about the operation of the engine as well as descriptions of the func-
tion of the various systems are part of a separate book, the ”Operating Manual”
containing also under 0010 − 1 explanations of the layout and structure of the Oper-
ating and Maintenance Manuals as well as of the used symbols, signs and special
characters.
More detailed instructions on the operation and maintenance of components from
sub-suppliers can be gathered from the instruction leaflets of the respective
manufacturers. Outside makes are, for example, such engine components, tools
or devices which are not manufactured in accordance with production drawings
from Wärtsilä Switzerland Ltd.
The ”Maintenance Manual” is divided into the following main chapters:
− General guidelines for maintenance
− Clearance tables, tightening values of screwed connections, masses
(weights), seal rings
− Maintenance schedule
− Design groups
− Tool lists
A few explanations to the above:
− The ’General Guidelines for Maintenance’ contain, in addition to recommen-
dations on precautionary measures to be taken, also suggestions for carrying
out the work.
− The above mentioned tables inform about normal and maximum acceptable
clearances, the tightening of important screwed connections, weights of indi-
vidual engine components as well as the type and use of various sealing rings.
− The ’Maintenance Schedule’ indicates nominal intervals in which various
maintenance operations are to be carried out. Please note that the mainte-
nance intervals are based on experience and are subject to operation of the
engine under standard conditions.
− Detailed instructions are given in the ’Design Groups’ on the procedure of
maintenance work on certain engine parts.
− Tools and devices necessary to carry out maintenance are described in the
’Tool Lists’, and are generally supplied with the engine.
