Decommissioning and Recommissioning
64
Carefully read the Operating Instructions before starting any work!
This is especially valid for the chapter on General Safety Instructions
and the safety instructions in each of the chapters.
10.3 Temporary Decommissioning of Engines
Temporary anticorrosion protection according to MAN works norm M 3069 is required for engines which are
to be put out of service depending on the duration.
The works norm can be obtained from our After-Sales Service department Nuremberg works.
NOTE!
A proper and careful recommissioning of new or operated engines has a great impact on
the operating safety and remaining life of the engines.
In general the goal is to preserve the decommissioned engines or new engines (after the
factory tests).
If the engine was not preserved before decommissioning, there is a risk that the cylinder
liners, piston rings and valves will corrode, especially when the intake and exhaust opening
are not closed off or when the engine is stored in the open.
Foreign matter, rain water and similar conditions require a complete disassembly of the en
gine.
