When starting up a new plant (150 h) and/or after major repairs, the engine unions and
screwed connections have to be inspected for good fitting and leaks.
Sequence of operations:
1. Check the flanged connections, filter thermostats and pipe clamps of the followinf systems
for good mounting and leaks:
• Cooling water
• Lubricating oil
• Fuel
• Exhaust gas
• Starting air
• Pneumatic control
2. Retighten the fixing bolts of the brackets for the injection pump control rod and check
the locking washers and pins of the linkage.
3. Check the monitoring and control equipment for good fitting. Cables and signal lines must
not scrape against any part.
4. Check the foundation bolts by knocking. Measure the crank web deflection after tightening
slack foundation bolts (02.02.01.nn).
Consult MaK aftersales service for tightening values.
