Repair Instructions
General
If possible,
a condition test should be performed before
each major service activity to determine the general
condition of the engine and discover any concurrent
fault causes. A condition test requires the engine to be
run, so it should be performed before the engine or
engine components are removed.
Refer to Compression Test page 47.
When working with chemicals, fuel and
lubricating oil
CAUTION!
Always use protective gloves for work which includes
contact with oil, fuel etc.
Constant skin
contact with engine oil can be very harm-
ful.
1 Disconnect battery power.
2 Clean the outside of the engine.
NOTICE! Make sure that wash residue is col-
lected for destruction and does not inadvertently
end up in the environment.
IMPORTANT!
Remember the following when washing with a
power washer: Be extremely careful when clean-
ing, to avoid getting water inside engine compo-
nents.
When
a power washer is used, the water jet
must never be aimed at seals, such as shaft seals,
joints with gaskets, rubber hoses or electrical com-
ponents.
3 For work that includes dismantlement of the cool-
ing system: Close the sea cocks and drain the
coolant from the raw water and fresh water sys-
tems.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure that all sea water inlets are securely
closed,
so that water can not find its way in during
disassembly of cooling system sub-components.
