be removed from the skin to prevent infection.
Scalding
An engine running under load will have a closed circuit fresh water temperature
of 85° to 95°C. The pressure cap on the top of the header tank must not be
removed when the engine is running. It can only be removed when the engine
is stopped and has cooled down.
Transportation/Lifting
Engines are supplied on transportable pallets. Lifting eyes on engines are used
for lifting engine and gearbox assembly only, not the pallet and associated kit.
GENERAL DECLARATION
This machinery is not intended to be put into service until it has been incorporated
into or with other machinery. It is the responsibility of the purchaser/installer/
owner, to ensure that the machinery is properly guarded and that all necessary
health and safety requirements, in accordance with the laws of the relevant
country, are met before it is put into service.
Note: Recreational Craft
Where applicable, the purchaser/installer/owner and operator must be
responsible for making sure that the Recreational Craft Directive 94/25/EC is
complied with.
Safety Precautions
Keep the engine, gearbox and surrounding area clean, including the area
immediately below the engine.
Drives – Power Take Off Areas
Gearbox Output Flange
The purpose of the marine diesel propulsion engine is to provide motive power
to propel a vessel. Accordingly the gearbox output shaft rotates at between 133
and 2400rev/min. This flange is designed to be coupled to a propeller shaft by
the installer and steps must be taken to ensure adequate guarding.
Forward End Drive
Engines are supplied with unguarded vee and poly vee belt drives to power the
fresh water pump and battery-charging alternator. The installer must ensure
that it is not possible for injury to occur by allowing accessibility to this area of
the engine. The pulleys run at high speed and can cause injury if personnel or
clothing come in contact with the belts or pulleys, when the engine is running.
Exhaust
Exhaust Outlet
Diesel marine propulsion engines emit exhaust gases at very high temperatures
– around 400 - 500°C. Engines are supplied with either wet exhaust outlet
(water injection bend) or dry outlet (dry exhaust stub) – see engine price list.
At the outlet next to the heat exchange header tank, the exhaust outlet can
become very hot and if touched, can injure. This must be lagged or avoided by
ensuring adequate guarding. It is the responsibility of the installer to lag the
exhaust system if a dry system is used. Exhaust gases are harmful if ingested,
the installer must therefore ensure that exhaust lines are lead overboard and
that leakage in the vessel does not occur.
Fuel
Fuel Lines
Diesel engines are equipped with high pressure fuel injection pumps, if leakage
should occur, or if pipes fracture, fuel at high pressure can harm personnel. Skin
must be thoroughly cleaned in the event of contact with diesel fuel.
Fuel Supply Connections
Engines are supplied with 8mm compression fittings. The installer must ensure
that when connections are made, they are clean and free of leaks.
Oil
The Isuzu marine propulsion package is supplied with 2 dipsticks, one for the
engine and one for the gearbox. Ensure dipsticks are returned and secure after
checking, if not oil leaks can cause infection when touched. Do not remove
dipsticks whilst engine is running, as this can cause oil to blow out. All oil must
