4.2 ENGINE SUPPLIES The engine does not come with its circuits filled with the applicable fluids. 4.2.1 CHANGING OIL 4.2.1.1 CHANGING ENGINE SUMP OIL Use oil that corresponds to the technical specifications in chapter 9. The oil must be changed with warmed engine, in order to ensure that is emptied.
4.2.1.2 CHANGING GEARBOX OIL Gearbox has its own lubrication, independent from the engine. warning: the use of oil that does not conform to the technical specifications on chapter 9 will cause serious damage to the engine and invalidate the guarantee When supplying the engine never ingest oil, fuel, coolant liquid, etc..
Run the engine for a few minutes until the cooling circuit is properly filled and free of air bubbles. Check the coolant level and refill if necessary. Warning! Never open the oil plug (1) when the engine is hot as it can release steam or splashes of hot coolant. Stop the engine and wait until it gets cold to do the coolant change.
5. PREPARING THE ENGINE FOR USE 5.0 GENERAL WARNINGS Refer to heading 1.3 for safety information. 5.1 INSTRUCTIONS FOR FIRST STARTING Do not alter the functioning conditions of the engine by changing the settings of factory sealed parts. Tampering with such parts automatically invalidates the guarantee.
5.1.1 BLEEDING AIR FROM THE FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM On the first start-up of the engine, and if this has operated with the fuel tank empty, air may enter the feed system, and it is necessary to purge this. To carry out the priming/purge of the fuel system, proceed as follows: (1) Check that fuel intake valve located at the...
6. USING THE ENGINE 6.0 GENERAL WARNINGS Refer to heading 1.3 for safety information. 6.1 STARTING and STOP (for propulsion engine) STARTING Place control lever at the neutral point. Rotate the ignition key to position “ON” Check oil pressure, battery charge lamps are lighted and the alarm is heard (refer to heading 2.5.1 for lamps position).
STOP Allow to run at low speed for 4 or 5 minutes and place the gearbox remote control lever in the neutral position. Turn the starter key to “STOP”. The stop solenoid will be actuated and the engine stops. Maintain this position until the engine is fully stopped. With the engine stopped the starter key returns to “OFF”...
To prevent the damage caused by low temperature operation, the engine should be prepared as follows: Use anti-freeze as indicated in section 4.2.2 of this manual. When the engine is to be stopped, close the sea water cock, open the sea-water filter cover and start the engine adding a mixture of fresh water and 30% anti-freeze until the sea-water circuit is filled completely.
6.7 RESTORATION OF THE RUNNING CONDITIONS When starting up the engine again after winter lay-up, certain operations must be performed. Follow these steps: Fill the fuel tank with clean diesel oil. Carry out the process for checking the fuel filter. If the filter is clogged, replace the filter cartridge.

Water filter cleaning It is important to fit between the engine and the bottom cock a filter to avoid that any impurities existing in these a water might clog the cooling conducts. Filter shall be cleaned every 200 hours by loosening the wing nut and removing the filtering component.
Page 35
(10) Replace the fuel filter element (engine) and purge the circuit See the page nº5 to locate the filter. The fuel filter is closed and cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced at least once every 12 months. To perform the filter change: Close the inlet cock located at the fuel tank.

(16) Compression pressure checking. Connect compression tester. Crank engine with starter motor. Compression pressure: 30-38 bar. The measured compression pressure is dependent on the starting speed during the measuring process and also on the altitude of the engine site. Therefore it is difficult to specify precise limit values. It is recommended to use the compression pressure measurement only for comparison of compression pressures of all cylinders in one engine.
