Before starting a new or reconditioned engine for the first time, give it an initial inspection. This to guarantee your
own safety as well as the maximum service life of the engine.
New engine initial service
External inspection
1. Check the control system for loose terminals.
2. Look for defects on engine parts.
3. Check the following components for loose bolts or
nuts:
* Plugs and covers of fuel, lubrication and cooling
system
* Coupling of fuel injection pump and shaft
* Mounting brackets
* Fuel control link
* Turbocharger
* Timing gear case
* Exhaust manifolds
* Cylinder heads
* Air-duct connection-hose clamp
4. Check for fuel, oil, coolant and air leaks and repair
if needed.
5. Make commissioning report for new or overhauled
engine.
IMPORTANT! All covers on the engine must be
mounted before attempting to start your engine.
Valves and plugs
Make sure the following valves and plugs are open or
closed properly:
Fuel supply valve Open
Coolant drain cocks Closed
IMPORTANT! If the coolant drain cocks are not
closed the coolant will drain from the engine and
this may cause severe damage to the engine.
Electrical wiring
Check for loose or damaged electrical wiring on the
engine. If necessary firmly reconnect to terminals or
cable-joint portions. Damaged cables must be repla-
ced.
If your engine is reconditioned, make sure the wiring
is according to the drawings.
