The following work is required for engines
that have been run in (distance of over
300 km or running time of over 6 operating
hours):
X
Drain
off engine oil and replace the oil filter.
Add initial operation oil compliant with
Sheet 225.6.
X
Fill or top up the cooling system with the
specified coolant. Before refilling coolant,
note the quality of the previously filled anti-
corrosion/antifreeze (Y page 48).
X
Carry out protective measures for the fuel
system.
X
Warm up the engine at medium engine
speeds and allow it to run for approximately
5 to 10 minutes at operating temperature
(coolant temperature 75-95 †).
X
Switch off the engine and check the oil
level.
X
Add oil up to the upper marking on the oil
dipstick.
X
Hermetically seal all engine openings.
X
Drain off the coolant completely for
engines that have been removed. Unscrew
the coolant drain plug on the engine block
to do so.
Re-commissioning
X
Remove all plugs or rags that have been fit-
ted.
X
Fit removed engines and connect all
cables, hoses and lines.
X
Remove protective agents and greases
from all protected areas, such as the fly-
wheel, pulley keyway etc.
X
Tension the poly-V-belt as per the regula-
tions.
X
Renew the engine oil and replace the oil fil-
ter before re-commissioning. Add oil up to
the upper marking on the oil dipstick.
X
Add coolant. Observe the concentration of
anticorrosion/antifreeze additives. Before
refilling coolant,
note the quality of the pre-
viously filled anticorrosion/antifreeze
(Y page 48).
X
New engines: add initial operation oil com-
pliant with Sheet 225.6.
X
Engines that have been run in (distance of
over 300 km or running time of over
6 operating hours): before starting the
engine, lubricate the lubrication points on
the engine as necessary, e.g. ball couplings
or engine brakes.
X
Start the engine and leave it running until
it is at operating temperature (coolant tem-
perature approximately 75 to 95 †). While
doing so, observe the indicators for oil pres-
sure, coolant temperature and oil temper-
ature.
