OPERATING MANUAL FOR BUKH DV29RME LIFEBOAT ENGINES

Fuel lift pump

The fuel lift pump is a sealed type which cannot be dismantled for repair or cleaning. It is
recommended to install a water/dirt accumulating filter in the suction line to the pump.
After repairs the fuel system must be bled as described under "Preparation for the first
start" if necessary.

Lubricating Oil System

The engine is pressure lubricated and the oil system has a built-in relief valve for
controlling the oil pressure. The oil level is checked as mentioned before.

Change of Oil

Lubricating oil should be changed for the first time after 25 hours of running, later for every 150 hours or at least once a year.
It is recommended to change the oil when engine is warm, and the procedure is as follows:
1.
Remove the dipstick.
2.
Insert the sump pump suction hose into the hole and pump up the oil.
3.
When the sump is empty reinsert dipstick and pour fresh oil.
4.
If possible, drain the oil through the plug hole at the bottom of the sump.

Recommended Lubricating Oil

Modern diesel engines demand heavy-duty oils with additives securing best operation conditions and longest life time of the
engine under various conditions. Therefore use a first class HD-oil from a recognized oil company.
Oil specifications as mentioned in "LUBRICATION OIL CHART".
When operating under difficult conditions, i.e. frequent cold starting,
short operation periods, greatly varying loads, use quality "Service
CD" and also use quality "Service CD" in case the sulphur content
of fuel is higher than 1 %.

Change of Lubricating Oil Filter

Lubricating oil filter cannot be cleaned, but should be changed
every 150 hours or once a year. To change the filter proceed as
follows :
1.
Unscrew filter A and discard it.
2.
Clean the sealing surface of the engine B, and remove old
gasket C if any from old filter
3.
Mount new filter at once under clean conditions.
4.
Screw on filter until gasket fits tightly, tighten a further half turn.
5.
Fill with oil until normal level is reached.
6.
Start the engine and check that the filter is tight.
Cooling system (Keel cooling)
A pump circulates the freshwater in a closed system.This circulation pump is fitted on the front end of the engine.
The freshwater circulates through the cooling jackets of the engine and through the keel cooler, fitted on the bottom of the boat.
Too high cooling temperature will cause the blue lamp in the control panel to light up and the acoustic alarm to function.
