First commissioning
When putting a new or overhauled engine into operation for the first time pay attention to
the "Installation Instructions for MAN Industrial Gas Engines" without fail.
It is recommended that new or overhauled engines should not be operated at a load
higher than about 75% maximum load during the first 5 hours of operation. After this the
engine should be slowly brought up to the specified maximum power.
Caution:
Use only approved fuels, lubricants etc. (see brochure "Fuels, lubricants etc.").
Otherwise the manufacturer's warranty will become null and void.
Cooling system
Danger:
Draining hot coolant involves a risk of scalding.
Fill the cooling system of the engine with a mixture of drinkable tap water and antifreeze
agent on the ethylene glycole basis or anti-corrosion agent. The coolant must be filled up
in accordance with the filling instructions of the co-generation plant manufacturer.
For suitable protective agents see the approved fuels, coolants and lubricants in accord-
ance with MAN 324 and MAN 248.
