Commissioning and operation
16
First commissioning
At the time of initial commissioning of a new or overhauled engine make sure to have
observed the “Technical Information for the installation of MAN Diesel engines”.
It is recommended that new or overhauled engines should not be operated at a load
higher than about 75% maximum load during the first few hours of operation. Initial run-in
should be at varying speeds. After this initial run-in, the engine should be brought up to
full output gradually.
Note:
Use only approved fuels, lubricants etc. (see brochure “Fuels, lubricants etc.”).
Otherwise the manufacturer’s warranty will become null and void.
Filling with fuel
Caution:
Fill the tank only when the engine is switched off. Pay attention to cleanliness.
Do not spill fuel.
Use only approved fuels (see “Fuels, Lubricants etc.”).
Filling-in of coolant
Fill the cooling system of the engine with a mixture of drinkable tap water and anti-freeze
agent on ethylene glycole basis or anti-corrosion agent.
See Publication “Fuels, Lubricants and Coolants for MAN Diesel Engines”.
D Pour in coolant slowly via expansion tank, see page 26
D For coolant filling quantity, see “Technical data“
Filling with engine oil
Caution:
Do not add so much engine oil that the oil level rises above the max. marking on
the dipstick. Overfilling will result in damage to the engine.
The engines are as a rule supplied without oil.
Pour oil into engine via filler neck, see page 21.
For the quantity required see “Technical Data”.
