It is imperative and in your own interest to entrust your MAN Local Service Centre with the removal of any disturbances and with the performance of checking, setting, and re- pair work.
In accordance with Article 4, paragraph 2, in conjunction with Appendix II, section B, of Directive 89/392/EEC, version 93/44/EEC MAN Nutzfahrzeuge Aktiengesellschaft, hereby declares that the engine described below is destined for installation in a machine as defined in the EC directive on machines.
Safety precautions for handling gaseous fuels Gaseous fuels consist basically of methane, propane, butane, traces of higher–order hy- drocarbons and of inert components such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen. When commissioning, starting and operating the gas engine, observe the following without fail: D Smoking or the use of a naked flame are prohibited.

– risk of burns. Ë Ë D Exhaust gases are toxic. Comply with the instructions for the installation of MAN Diesel engines which are to be operated in enclosed spaces. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation and air extraction.
Page 9
Safety regulations D Keep vicinity of engine, ladders and stairways free of oil and grease. Accidents caused by slipping can have serious consequences. During maintenance and care D Always carry out maintenance work when the engine is switched off. If the engine has to be maintained while it is running, e.g. changing the elements of change-over filters, remember that there is a risk of scald- ing.
Page 10
Safety regulations When carrying out checking, setting and repair work D Checking, setting and repair work must be carried out by authorized personnel only. D Use only tools which are in satisfactory condition. Worn open-end wrench slip, which could lead to injury. D When the engine is hanging on a crane, no-one must be allowed to stand or pass under it.
Page 11
If faults occur, find the cause immediately and have it eliminated in order to prevent more serious damage. Use only genuine MAN spare parts. MAN will accept no responsibility for damage result- ing from the installation of other parts which are supposedly “just as good”.

Safety regulations 3. Regulations designed to prevent pollution Engine oil and filter elements / cartridges, fuel / fuel filter D Take old oil only to an old oil collection point. D Take strict precautions to ensure that no oil or Diesel fuel gets into the drains or the ground.
Page 13
Safety regulations Ensure that used engine oil is disposed of properly – Engine oil can endanger the water supply – For this reason do not let engine oil get into the ground, waterways, the drains or the sewers. Violations are punishable. Collect and dispose of used engine oil carefully.

For the quantity required see “Technical Data”. Note: Use approved service products only (see “Fuels, Lubricants and Coolants for MAN Industrial Gas Engines”); non-compliance renders warranty claims against manufac- turer null and void. Ensure outmost cleanliness when handling lubricants and coolants.

D Pull out dipstick (arrow) D wipe it with a clean, lintfree cloth D and push it in again up to the stop D Pull out dipstick again The oil level should be between the two notches in the dipstick and must never fall...
Commissioning and operation The control unit (option) Purpose of the control unit The control unit records the respective crank angle of the engine at very short in- tervals and calculates from these data the time for triggering the ignition pulse for each and every cylinder.
Page 21
Commissioning and operation Connecting the control unit Two cable harnesses are supplied with the engine: D The cable harness for the input signals to the control unit D The cable harness for the output sig- nals from the control unit The plugs (14-pin and 10-pin) are de- signed to prevent them from being in- serted in the wrong socket.
D Operate starter to crank engine with gas supply shut off and without ignition for a few seconds (air purge). D Starting control will close throttle valve in gas mixer (gas mixer is not part of MAN’s ex- tent of delivery).
Commissioning and operation System monitoring Caution: In the event of faults have their cause immediately ascertained and rectified so that no major damage will occur. During operation the oil pressure of the engine lubrication and the coolant temperature are to be monitored. If the monitoring devices indicate a drop in lube oil pressure or coolant excess tempera- ture, the engine is to be switched off immediately.
Maintenance and care Lubrication system Draining of engine oil and changing of filters Caution: Used oil and oil filter cartridges are dangerous waste. Observe safety regulations to prevent damage to the environment. When engine is at operating temperature, remove oil drain plug from oil pan and let old oil drain out completely.
Page 25
Maintenance and care Refilling with oil Caution: Do not add so much engine oil that the oil level rises above the max. marking on the dipstick. Overfilling will result in damage to the engine. Fill up with fresh engine oil via oil filler neck on cylinder head cover.
Make sure the engine has cooled down. Then drain the coolant as follows: D Open filler cap of coolant reservoir (not supplied by MAN) to permit pressure equalisation. D Unscrew drain plugs (see pictures, wrench fitted to drain plug) and take off caps.
Page 27
(see “Fuel, Lu- bricants and Coolants for MAN Industrial Gas Engines”). Coolant must be added in accordance with the filling instructions issued by the manufacturer of the block-type thermal power plant.

5 minutes, and flush with tap water until the discharging water is clear D Fill cooling circuit with a mixture of potable tap water and anti-freeze with at least 40% by volume (see “Fuels, Lubricants and Coolants for MAN Industrial Gas Engines”) Note: The surge tank should be filled only up to the bottom edge as otherwise foaming will cause the pickling fluid to spill over.
Maintenance and care Spark plugs Special spark plugs have been developed for industrial gas engines in continuous operation. Use only the plugs specified in the ”Technical Data”. We recommend that you do not adjust the spark gap on these special plugs (see “Technical Data”).
Maintenance and care Air filter The air filter is not part and parcel of MAN’s extent of delivery. Concerning maintenance and cleaning work, the regulations of the cogeneration-plant manufacturer are to be heeded. Starter motor Check that the electric cables are properly fastened and that contacts and plug connec- tions are secure.
Checking and setting Adjusting ignition timing Checking ignition timing Ignition timing should be checked every 2,000 hours of operation. Open cover on flywheel housing (arrow). Before the first cylinder reaches TDC, you will see angle markings on the flywheel. These range from 40° before TDC to 0°. There is a reference edge on the flywheel housing to act as a corresponding marker.

Checking and setting Adjusting the ignition timing The ignition point is adjusted at the control unit (accessories). D Unscrew the cover from the control unit. D Start engine. D Point stroboscopic lamp at scale on fly- wheel and the corresponding marker. D Adjust the control unit’s upper potentio- meter (screwdriver point in the upper figure) until the 12_ marking on the fly-...
Checking and setting Adjusting the overspeed setting To protect the engine from mechanical damage if the governor fails – which would allow an uncontrolled increase in engine speed – there is a facility for set- ting a maximum speed which cannot be exceeded.
