DEFERRED START-UP ENGINE INSPECTION AND
PROTECTION
2/6
4. CONDITION OF ENGINES SUBJECT TO DEFERRED START-UP
At the time Customer applies for the deferred start-up status, the engine can be in any of these conditions: stored
in its original packaging; unpacked and stored under conditions differing from the original ones, or mounted on the
Customer's equipment.
If
packed in its original packaging
, the engine shall be inspected and protected by the Workshop according
to the instructions contained in this Product Information Sheet.
When the engine is
unpacked and stored in conditions differing from the original ones
, the Workshop
shall inspect the engine in order to assess its storage conditions and shall pack the engine again in original
packaging in order to ensure a good state of preservation. Such inspection, protection and packaging of the
engine shall conform to these specifications.
In the event of the engine being
mounted on the Customer’s equipment, but not put into operation,
the
Workshop shall inspect, protect and pack the engine as specified herein.
CAUTION
If the engine exhaust is piped to the outside, the Workshop shall check to ensure these connections
are perfectly sealed, impeding rainwater from getting inside the engine and causing serious damage to it.
In the event of the engine having been
started up and its commissioning being incomplete
and not
expected to be completed at once (within one to six or more months), the Workshop shall recommend that
Customer should start the engine periodically (weekly) and operate it at least for one hour, idling or on low
load. In addition to the items described in this Product Information Sheet, the following points shall be checked
during the engine inspection:
Draining of cooling circuits
Oil and coolant levels and pressures
Air filters
Starter motor
Unusual noise during operation
Draining of condensates or water ingress from exhaust system
Repair of fuel, coolant or lube oil leaks, if any.
Finally, the Workshop shall protect the engine according to the specifications contained in this document.
5. DEFERRED START-UP ENGINE INSPECTION
The Authorised Technical Service Workshop shall inspect the equipment in accordance with the following
guidelines, recording findings and results on form G-19-31 “Deferred Start-up Engine Inspection”.
Engine inspection comprises the following steps:
Check
packaging and protection
of the engine as per document IM-C-C-00-001e and record whether the
engine has been installed and whether it has been started but not completely commissioned.
Turn the engine by hand
to check that it rotates freely and has not seized up.
Inspect the unpainted machined surfaces for rust. Also, check to see if all inlets and outlets of the engine
(such as pump elbows, exhaust fume ducts, etc.) are adequately sealed and whether there is any part of the
engine missing. If you observed any defect or fault, report on the condition of the equipment.
Remove all the
rocker arms covers
. Check pushrods, rocker arms, adjusting screws, valve springs for rust,
corrosion or contamination. If you observed any defect or fault, report on the condition of the equipment.
