Necessary Information for Engine Operation
1. Check a newly installed engine for leaks before starting.
2. Make good “Starting Preparation” for every engine starting. Remember not to apply any load when starting engine.
3. Break in the engine for 60 hours before the operation of a new engine or an overhauled engine.
4. Run the engine without load for 3~5 min after starting and then increase load gradually. Run the engine with full load only when the engine coolant temperature reaches over 750, oil temperature over 500 and oil pressure over 0.4 MPa.
5. Disassemble the turbo oil inlet pipe of turbocharger and fill the turbocharger with 50~60 ml lube oil from oil inlet port when operating a new engine or an engine with replaced turbocharger to prevent the turbo bearing from being damaged because of no lube oil.
6. Do not use mixture of lube oils with different specifications when refilling.
7. Do not start the engine without air filter. Air filter can prevent dust and particles into the engine thus avoiding early engine wear.
8. Observe engine operation and values indicated by all gage indicators when the engine runs. Have emergent engine stopping measures and take them whenever necessary to avoid engine seizing arising from engine overheat due to lack of coolant or decreased oil pressure.
9. Check fuel line for leaks regularly while the engine runs because the fuel line is on the exhaust side of the engine. Remove any problems timely to avoid fire.
10. Do not run the engine when adjusting the engine belt tension and drive device.
11. Unload engine slowly to prevent the engine from running away due to malfunction of the governor resulting from sudden decrease of load.
12. Replace the malfunctioned thermostat timely and do not operate the engine without thermostat.
13. Drain all coolant in the engine after it is stopped, especially when the engine is used under freezing cold weather without using anti-freeze additive to prevent the block and other relevant parts from frozen fracture.
14. Check all connecting bolts and nuts regularly for loosening.
15. Do not remove any lead seals on the engine and make adjustment at discretion. Send the engine to responsible shops for adjustment or repair if necessary.
16. Perform daily and three-level maintenances as per the requirements and instructions of this Manual. |
