Decommissioning and recommissioning

10.3 Temporary decommissioning of an engine

Temporary anticorrosion protection according to MAN Works Standard M 3069 is required if an engine is
decommissioned, depending on the duration.
The Works Standard can be obtained from our After-Sales Service department at the Nuremberg plant.
User tip
A proper and careful recommissioning of new or operated engines has a great impact on the operating
safety and remaining life of the engines.
In general the goal is to preserve the decommissioned engines or new engines (after the factory tests).
If the engine is not preserved before decommissioning, there is a risk of corrosion on the cylinder liners,
piston rings and valves, especially if the intake and exhaust openings are not closed and the engine is
stored in the open. Ingress of foreign matter, rainwater and the like may necessitate complete di­
sassembly of the engine.
