Please read it carefully and familiarise yourself with the engine and its parts before operation. E.P.Barrus reserve the right to change the specification of its products and manuals without prior notice. Depending upon the equipment specification of the engine and accessories fitted, there may be discrepancies with the information presented in this handbook.

Routing maintenance outlined in the Owner’s Manual must be performed using genuine parts in order to maintain warranty coverage. If the customer performs maintenance, Barrus reserves the right to make future warranty coverage possible only with proof of proper maintenance.
SECTION 1 – Safety Precautions 1. General It is the responsibility of the installer/operator to ensure that the finished installation complies with the relevant Health & Safety requirements and the recreational craft directive before commissioning. Ensure that the engine battery isolator switch is in the off position and the key removed from the control panel before carrying out any maintenance or repairs.

seek medical advice. • Keep battery tops and battery compartment ventilated at all times • If disconnecting the battery; remove the earth lead FIRST; and re-connect it last. • If charging the battery; ensure that the charger is switched off before connecting and disconnecting.
SECTION 2 – Engine Identification Please quote the engine identification number during any enquiry or when ordering spare parts. Use the space below to record these details. This can be found engraved into the brass plate on the top of the engine rocker cover and stamped to the crankcase next to the starter motor.
Packing plates 25mm thick are available: Order RDG3906 Engine mount spacer. Alternatively they can be manufactured locally. • On the Shire 30 WB/RB there are two different sizes of Anti-Vibration Mounts used. The small mounts are used at the front of the engine along with spacer blocks. The RDG603A17 –...

large mounts are used on the back of the engine. • Ensure that the engine has been installed for at least 24 hours before shaft alignment is checked, to allow the mounts time to settle under the engine weight. • Ensure that the anti-vibration mount centre screw is sufficiently raised so as not to touch the engine bed.
Figure 3: Correct Anti-Vibration Mount Installation Alternative mounting position engine compartment space Normal mounting position Figure 4: Anti-Vibration Mount Installation Points 6. Engine Alignment • The gearbox output shaft flange and propeller shaft input flange must be almost perfectly aligned. A maximum of 0.05mm (0.002”) misalignment in any plane is acceptable.
• If the engine is out of alignment it will result in excessive vibration and possible damage to the stern tube and propeller shaft. • Boats that are fitted with fully flexible drive couplings should still have the engine and shaft alignment as close as possible.
cable installed at all times. 8. Electrical Options • If the engine is fitted with the optional 230V Travel Power System, refer to the manual supplied with it for correct wiring, control box installation and operation. • The Shire range can be supplied with other optional additional 12V or 24V alternators.
11. Coolant • Prepare coolant mix of 50% clean tap water and 50% antifreeze. For Workboats: • Ensure the top header tank connection goes to the small hole connection on the tank. • To fill the engine cooling system for the first time: •...

The correct installation of the lift silencer is vital to safety, and to avoid back flooding of the engine. Figure 6 shows how to install the lift silencer correctly (Note: Halyard (M&I) Limited have given Barrus permission to use the diagram). RDG603A17 – Issue 1 – Shire 30_40_50 WB/RB Manual...

approved by Lloyds and DNV. Do not use oil or grease to lubricate hoses when installing, wetting the inside of the hoses with water will help them slip more easily over the silencer spigots. A minimum of 2 hose clips must be used. Securely tighten all hose clamps, but be careful not to overtighten.
18. Hydraulic Drive Transmissions If an engine is to have a hydraulic drive transmission attached to it instead of a conventional marine gearbox, a number of points must be observed. Bobtail engines (i.e. Engines supplied without a marine gearbox), normally do not have a gearbox oil cooler fitted.

• Ensure all oil and coolant levels are checked. • Ensure both the engine and domestic batteries are connected. Both battery master switches must be turned on. Failure to do so may damage the domestic alternator. • Ensure that the raw water seacock is turned on. 2.
5. Refuelling • All Shire boat engines run on diesel fuel. • Please note that when the vessel is to be left for any period of time, the fuel tank should be left full to eliminate the build-up of condensation and formation of water in the fuel tank.
CAUTION: WEAR DISPOSABLE GLOVES AND BEWARE OF HOT OIL AND ENGINE BLOCK. REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY BEFORE WORKING IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT. 1. Engine Oil and Filer Change • Change the engine oil while the engine is still hot. • Remove the blanking plug in the sump pump spout (6mm Allen key). Note: Shire 50 has two oil drain pumps, it is the pump mounted up higher on the engine.
• To fit a new air filter, loosen the jubilee clip which secures the old air filter to the engine. Remove the old air filter and fit the new air filter in its place. Re-tighten the jubilee clip. • The air filter is constructed from pleated paper. Inspect it closely for dust or dirt. The air filter cannot be cleaned and must be replaced when dirty.

of the engine. It is essential that when the alternators are refitted that the alignment is perfect or premature belt wear will occur. 12. Belt Replacement CAUTION: REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY BEFORE WORKING IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT. • Ensure that you have the correct replacement belts before starting this procedure. Some engines may have been fitted with non-standard optional alternators which may not use the belt sizes listed.
Note: Periodically squirt a lubricant into the key switch slot when the key has been removed. A lubricant such as WD40 – with silicon, would be suitable. Other lubricants are available. Then with the battery master switch turned off, operate the key switch a couple of times.
• Replace the impellor. • Replace the cover plate gasket if damaged. • Replace any other worn components as necessary. 16. Engine Heat Exchanger Tube Stack Flushing For Work Boats • When the engine is cold, drain the water from the engine block. Remove the hose from the tap and drain.
