Commissioning
When setting a new or overhauled engine into operation pay attention to
the “Manufacturer’s technical publication”. During the rst service hours it is
advisable to have new engines run below 75% of their maximum load and
at variable speeds. After this initial run-in, the engine should be brought up
to full output gradually.
CAUTION
Use only approved technical uids; otherwise the Manufacturer’s warran-
ty will become null and void and the engines can get seriously damaged.
Daily start-up
Before daily starting of the engine, check fuel level, coolant level and engine
oil level and replenish, if necessary. In case of need, ll with fuel, coolant
and oil mix.
CAUTION
Engines must always be started with gear boxes at idle run and throttle
levers must be set at minimum speed.
DANGER
Before starting an engine, ensure that nobody is standing in the danger-
ous area of the engine room.
