Fault tracing
In the event of any irregularity in the machinery the characteristic of the trouble should be
ascertained, the fault traced and the cause found. Remedial actions must be initiated immediately.
Attention:
In case of discernible faults stop the motor timely to avoid the risk of greater damages.
Minor troubles, whose cause is not obvious or whose influence on operation seems to be less
important for the present, must never be ignored. They have to be repaired as soon as possible.
The nature of the trouble, will be the determining factor as to whether the power or speed have to
be reduced for the duration it lasts.
If there is a failure in the measuring instruments or monitors, that cannot be repaired immediately,
run the engine with particular care. This is especially so if an alarm or safety device is concerned.
Any essential fault deviations will be signalled by the alarm and safety system, if such a degree of
automation has been provided.
In the event of trouble in the remote control or certain components such as governor, turbocharger
etc., see the respective sections in book C.
If a defective engine cannot be quickly repaired, it has to be preserved as in section A3.09.01.nn and/
or A3.09.02.nn, depending on the foreseeable date of reconditioning.
