Preparations
Knowledge
The operator’s manual contains instructions on how
to carry out general maintenance and service
operations
safely and correctly. Read the instructions
carefully before starting work.
Service literature covering more complicated
operations is available from your Bukh dealer.
Never carry out any work on the engine if you are
unsure of how it should be done; contact your Bukh
dealer who will be glad to offer assistance.
Stop the engine
Stop the engine before opening or removing engine
hatches. Unless otherwise specified all maintenance
and service must be carried out with the engine
stopped.
To prevent accidental start of the boat engine, remove
the ignition key, turn off the power supply to the engine
at the main switches and lock them in the OFF
position before starting work. Put up a warning sign in
the control position that work on the engine is being
carried out.
Approaching or working on an engine that is running
is a safety risk. Loose clothing, hair, fingers or a
dropped tool can be caught in the rotating parts of the
engine and cause serious personal injury.
Before starting the engine
Reinstall all protective parts removed during service
operations before starting the engine. Check that no
tools or other items have been left on the engine.
Never start a turbocharged engine without installing
the air cleaner (ACL). The rotating compressor in the
Turbocharger unit can cause serious personal injury.
Foreign objects can also be sucked in and cause
mechanical damage to the unit.
Maintenance Safety
Information
Fire and explosion
Fuel and lubrication oil
All fuel, most lubricants and many chemicals are
inflammable. Read and follow the instructions on the
packaging.
Hot oil can cause burns. Avoid skin contact with hot
oil. Ensure that the lubrication system is not under
pressure before commencing work on it. Never start
or operate the engine with the oil filler cap removed,
oil can spray out.
When
carrying out work on the fuel system, make sure
the engine is cold. A fuel spill onto a hot surface or
electrical components can cause a fire.
Store fuel soaked rags and other flammable material
so that there is no danger of them catching fire. Fuel-
soaked rags can self-ignite under certain conditions.
Do not smoke when filling fuel, oil or in proximity of a
filling station or in the engine room.
Non-original components
Components used in the fuel and electrical systems
on Bukh products are designed and constructed to
minimize the risk of fire and explosion.
Using spare parts that comply with the specifications
for Bukh original spare parts is recommended to
avoid fire and explosion.
Start spray
Never use start spray or similar agents to start an
engine equipped with air pre-heating (glow plugs/
starter element). This may cause an explosion in the
inlet manifold. Danger of personal injury.
Hot surfaces and fluids
There is always a risk of burns when working with a
hot engine. Beware of hot surfaces. For example: the
exhaust pipe, turbo unit, oil pan, charge air pipe,
starter element, hot coolant and hot oil in oil lines and
hoses.
