FORWARD
This
service manual has been compiled for engineers engaged in
sales
service,
inspection and maintenance. Accordingly, descriptions of the
construction and functions of the engine are
emphasized
in
this
manual
while items which should already be common knowledge are omitted.
One
characteristic of a marine diesel engine is
that
its performance in a
vessel
is governed by its applicability to the
vessel's
hull construction
and
its steering system.
Engine
installation,
fitting
out and propeller selection have a substantial
effect
on the performance of the engine and the
vessel.
Moreover,
when
the engine runs unevenly or when
trouble
occurs,
it is
essential
to check
a
wide range,of operating conditions—such as installation on the hull
and
suitability of the ship's piping and propeller—and not
just
the engine
itself.
To get maximum performance
from
this
engine, you should
com-
pletely understand its functions, construction and
capabilities,
as well as
proper use and
sen/icing.
Use
this
manual as a handy reference in daily inspection and maninte-
nance.and
as a
text
for engineering guidance.
