4.3.4.1 Pre-lubricating the engine
To ensure immediate ow of oil to all bearing surfaces at initial engine startup,
prepare the engines as follows:
1. Charge the engine lubrication system with lubricating oil using a commercially
available pressure pre-lubricator.
2. Manually lubricate the turbocharger bearings and spin the shaft by hand two to
three times. (gure 4.11, 4.12 & 4.13)

Insufcient lubrication during startup can cause serious damage to
engine components
4.3.5 Fuel system
1. Make sure the main fuel shutoff valve (if used) is open. If the shutoff valve is
even partially closed, it may cause erratic engine operation due to an inadequate
supply of fuel to the fuel pump.
2. Fill the tank with the recommended fuel. Keeping tank full will reduce water
condensation which is necessary to protect the injection system sub-assemblies
like FIP & Injectors. Filling the tank full will also reduce the chance for microbe
growth and protecting the fuel tank inner wall from corrosion.
