MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
Maintenance is the key to lower operating costs. A diesel engine requires regularly scheduled
maintenance to keep it running efficiently.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Preventive maintenance is the easiest and least
expensive type of maintenance. I permits the
Maintenance Department to do the work at a
convenient time.
A good Maintenance Schedule Depends on
Engine Application
Actual operating environment of the engine
governs the maintenance schedule. The suggested
check-sheet on the following page indicates some
checks have to be performed more often heavy
dust or other special conditions.
Using the Suggested Schedule Check Sheet
The maintenance schedule check-sheet is
designed as guide until adequate experience is
obtained to establish a schedule to meet a
specific operation.
A detailed list of component checks is provided
through several check periods; also a suggested
schedule basis is given for hours of operation, or
calendar of time.
A maintenance schedule should be established
using the check-sheet as a guide; the result
will be a maintenance program to fit a specific
operation.
The check-sheet shown can be reproduced by any
printer. The person making each check can then
i
ndicate directly on the sheet that the operation
has been completed. When a complete column
(Under A, B, C etc.) of checks is indicated, the
engine will be ready for additional service until the
next check is due.
Storage for Engines Out of Service
I
f an engine remains out of service and its use
i
s not immediately forthcoming, special precautions
should be taken to prevent rust as per procedure
given in Section 4.
