Oil pressure
Max. oil pressure:
warm engine running at a speed above 800 rpm 6 bar
Normal oil pressure:
warm engine running at an operating speed of 3 - 6 bar
Min. oil pressure:
warm engine running at a speed of 800 rpm 0.7 bar
At speeds below 800 rpm the gauge may show low oil pressure although no
fault is present.
Oil pressure below 0.7 bar at speeds above 800 rpm will cause engine
damage. The engine must be stopped immediately.
DEC2: The engine is stopped automatically if this function is selected.
See the DEC section on page 17.
Charging indicator lamp
If the lamp comes on during operation:
- Check/adjust the alternator drive belts as described under the
maintenance point. See page 46.
- If the charging indicator lamp is still on, this could be due to an
alternator fault or a fault in the electrical system.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Run the engine without a load for a few minutes if it has been run
continuously with a heavy load.
2. Stop the engine with the stop button. Keep the stop button depressed
until the engine is completely stationary.
3. DEC2: Before switching off, check that the control system's main
indicator lamp is not on or flashing. See page 16 for troubleshooting.
4. Engines with battery master switch: Switch on the power by means of
the battery master switch. (Does not apply to emergency generator sets).
5. Set the control switch to "0". (Does not apply to emergency generator
sets).
High lubricating oil pressure
(above 6 bar) is normal when
starting a cold engine.
High lubricating oil pressure
(above 6 bar) is normal when
starting a cold engine.
There is danger of turbo
damage and post boiling if the
engine is stopped without
cooling.
The power must not be
switched off before the engine
has stopped.
