7.1 Preliminary Instructions
These recommendations and instruc-
tions cover K Series engines therefore they
are of a general nature and may include
optional equipment not specifically covered
in this book.
More detailed information can be found
in the Workshop Manual or any Lister Petter
Distributor can be consulted.
• The engine should receive regular atten -
tion during the first 20 hours of its life
from new and after a major overhaul.
• Long periods of light or ‘no load’ running
early in the engine’s life may lead to cyl-
inder bore glazing and high oil consump -
tion.
• The instructions given in "7.14 Mainte -
nance - Schedule hours" are based on
average operating conditions and cover
the minimum requirements to keep an
engine running at peak performance
with trouble free operation.
• Under very dusty conditions, air clean -
ers, lubricating oil and fuel filters will
require more frequent attention.
• Decarbonising may be required more
often if the engine has been running on
light loads for long periods.
• Before carrying out any maintenance
work on an engine it is advisable to re-
move the battery.
The battery and charge windings must
be disconnected before commencing
any electric welding when a pole strap
is directly or indirectly connected to the
engine.
• It is essential to ensure that nuts and
bolts are tightened to the torques speci-
fied in the Workshop Manual.
• When re-assembling an engine lubricate
all moving parts with engine oil.
• Renew nuts and bolts that have been
taken from high stress locations.
In particular nuts and/or bolts from the
connecting rods should be renewed.
• The fuel injector can only be checked
and set off the engine using suitable
specialist test equipment.
