Commissioning and operation
14
First commissioning
At the time of initial commissioning of a new or overhauled engine make sure to have ob-
served 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 brochure “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 the ethylene glycole basis or anti-corrosion agent.
See Publication “Fuels, Lubricants and Coolants for MAN Diesel Engines”.
D Observe / adhere to vehicle manufacturer’s filling specifications
D Slowly pour in coolant (max. 10 ltr./min)
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 19.
For the quantity required see “Technical Data”.
Note:
Before putting the hydraulic pump into operation for the first time fill it with oil.
Heed the manufacturer’s instructions!
