SECTION – IV OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 4.1 Safety precautions for operation of diesel engine Before the engine is started, the operator must understand the operating method; master the working principle of diesel engine and understand its power limit. During starting and running of engine, lack of experience and careless operation may cause fatal accident.
4.3.1 Cooling system Capacity: 40 Liters 1. Make sure the main drain valve of the fresh water cooling system (above the oil filter mounting) is closed properly. Refer figure 4.1 Figure 4.1 2. The coolant can be filled from the heat exchanger. Remove the cap provided on the top (figure 4.2) and slowly fill the cooling system with recommended coolant (figure 4.3).
4.3.2 Lubrication system Sump Capacity - 30 Liters 1. Check and drain out the preservation oil from the sump. After draining, fix the drain plug properly. 2. Engine oil can be filled from the filling port provided near the Fuel Injection Pump.
4.3.3 Checking the oil level Make sure the boat is on float or kept on a level surface. A dipstick is provided on the crank case near to the oil filter assembly (figure 4.8). Check the oil level using the oil dipstick. Safe oil level range is marked on the dipstick bottom (figure 4.9). If the oil level is in between the high level and low level area, then the oil is at the proper level for engine operation.
4.3.4.1 Pre-lubricating the engine To ensure immediate flow 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.
Properly check the fuel system for loose connections and leaking joints. Loose connection or damaged sealing will cause air to enter into the system 4.3.5.(a) Priming the fuel system Operate the hand priming pump (lift pump) provided on the FIP several times till the low pressure system get pressurized (figure 4.14).
4.3.7.(a) Normal starting Switch on the main power supply button provided on the engine control monitor. (Figure 4.15) Observe and ensure all the parameters on the monitor display are normal. The battery voltage should not be less than 24V. Ensure the fuel throttle lever is on the minimum position.
Before stopping the engine, gradually reduce the load, then gradually reduce the engine speed to 600~1000 r/min. To stop the engine from the main control panel, press the emergency stop button provided on the display monitor.(Refer figure 4.18) Figure 4.18 And to stop the engine from the remote monitor, push the stop button (Refer Fig.

During operation, coolant level must be between the low and high marks of the tank level. If there is no coolant in emergencies, slowly add coolant with temperature not too lower from the coolant filler, until the coolant becomes over-flown. Start engine and continue to add coolant with engine running at 1000 r/min, till it is full and the level becomes stable.

SECTION - V PERIODIC MAINTENANCE Weichai engines are designed for high reliability and long life. The engines are built to withstand marine operational environment. Preventive maintenance is the cost effective and economical way to reduce the operational cost of a diesel engine. If the preventive maintenance is carried out as per quality and schedule, downtime and costly breakdowns can be eliminated.
5.4 Reliability of parts Prior to replacing any parts and components, customer must make sure that the new parts and components to be installed are made by the original engine manufacturer or authorized cooperative production factories, and use necessary measuring instruments to check and make sure they meet the relevant technical specifications.
1. Above maintenance interval is applicable only when the maintenance procedure is followed from the first Inspection onwards and used the Weichai recommended products. 2. It is suggested to operate the engine at operating temperature once in a week for minimum 5 minutes 3.
5.7.2 Cleaning air filter Always use clean and dry air to clean the air filter element. The air pressure should not exceed 600 Kpa. To make cleaning process more efficient, always direct the compressed air from inside to outside the element. Don’t clean the air filter with diesel or water.
5.7.4 Replacement of oil filter Use the filter wrench to loosen the filter and remove it by hand refer figure 5.2 & 5.3. Use a suitable tray under the filter location to collect oil spillage before removing the filter. Figure 5.2 Figure 5.3 Let the oil drain completely from the filter housing refer figure 5.4.
Run the engine for a short time, during running check and ensure no leakage from the filter sealing and from the oil drain plug refer figure 5.7 Figure 5.7 Stop the engine; check the tightness of filter for reliability, if necessary. Measure the oil level with the help of the oil dipstick.
5.7.7 Air bleeding from fuel system After every filter change and maintenance of engine fuel system, or air entered into the system, check the whole fuel system and bleed out the air from the system. (Refer figure for 5.10 & 5.11 for main air bleeding points in the fuel system) Figure 5.10 Figure 5.11 5.7.8 Adjustments and replacement of V-Belt...
5.7.9 Arrangement of cylinder head and valve WP12 series marine diesel engine is designed with individual head assembly for each cylin- der. Each cylinder head is designed with two valves; one for inlet and the other for exhaust. The valve arrangement from the front end is as per figure 5.15 (I- Inlet & E- Exhaust) Figure 5.15...

SECTION - VI SPECIFICATIONS FOR LUBRICANT, COOLANT AND FUEL 6.1 Lubricant 6.1.1 The functioning of lubricating oil in a diesel engine The lubricating oil used in the engine must be multifunctional. It must perform the primary functions of: 1. Lubrication: Basic function is to reduce friction and minimize the wear and tear.
4. Contamination due to dirt entering the engine through the atmospheric air and bad fuel. 5. Other additive depletion due to reaction which will affect the performance of oil. The engine oil becomes inefficient after the recommend hours. Hence, it is necessary to replace.
(above 85W/90) Table 6.2 6.2 Engine oil recommendations for Weichai engines Quality of lubricating oil is one of the key drive factors to decide the performance, durability and total cost of operating of diesel engine. Hence, we have always been recommending the best available/suitable engine oil to be used in our engine.
Weichai will not be responsible for problems occurring on engines due to poor quality of oil. 6.4 Fuel oil recommendations Weichai diesel engines will operate both BV-IV and BV-III standard diesel. The basic specification for diesel is as Table 6.3 & Table 6.4:...
