Controls, Starting & Stopping Engine No amount of engineering ingenuity or care in manufacture can substitute for the need of knowledge on the operation and avoidance of mis-use by the operator. It is important to be familiar with all controls so as to know how to properly operate your engine.
Stopping all Engines The engine should be allowed to slow idle for approximately 2 minutes before stopping, especially after extended periods of full load and full speed operation. This is particularly important in the case of turbocharged engines. Fuel System CAUTION: Your injection pump is a very accurately machined piece of equipment and requires careful handling and adjustment.

TYPICAL FUEL SYSTEM, TURBO ENGINES Injection pump return tube Filter Press Relief Line Injector Leak Off Line *NOTE: “ON ENGINES MADE IN LATE 1985 ONWARDS FUEL RETURN LINES MAY BE INTERCONNECTED TO SIMPLIFY PIPING” (Return line to tank must be 10mm bore min.) Bleeding the Fuel System Bleeding air from the fuel system may well be one of the important procedures to be learned by the operator.
Please contact your authorized Lehman Power distributor for this service. Warranty claims resulting from owner mishandling of the fuel injection pump will not normally be considered.

While engine is hot, if there is liquid in tank, the system may be refilled with safety if not, allow engine to cool before refilling. Lehman Power recommends the use of anti-freeze at all times used in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
The use of an efficient, full-flow raw water strainer is strongly recommended to prevent clogging of pump and exchangers by weeds, etc. Lehman part NO. EW-102 preferred. If hose is employed for intake, same should be reinforced type of extra heavy construction to prevent collapse under powerful suction of raw water pump Lehman can provide such hose if required.

Electrics The standard electrical system for Lehman engines is 12 volt, NEGATIVE GROUND. Under no circumstances should polarity be reversed even for an instant for serious damage to alternator may result. For special applications, optional electrical systems are available in 12 volt insulated return, 24 volt negative ground and 24 volt insulated return configurations.
The filter is a full-flow, disposable “spin-on”type. It should be replaced at each oil change, and is readily available from your Lehman dealer. All marine installations should include an oil pressure gauge to register the lube system pressure and such gauge should be frequently checked to insure that system is functioning correctly.
of oil When engine is first installed, provide the proper quantity as indicated under “specifications” section. The oil cap is located on top of engine rocker cover. After pouring in oil, it will be necessary to wait several minutes before the oil level is checked in order to allow time for oil to flow to sump.
Transmission As there is such a wide variety of transmissions available with Lehman diesels, it is not practical to cover all installations in this manual. However, due to the popularity of the Borg Warner, PRM/Newage and Twin Disc transmissions, the following information is offered for those models.
Periodically inspect hoses for signs of leak, damage or sponginess, replacing where necessary. Pressure and temperature gages should be regularly inspected and replaced if found to be damaged or of suspect accuracy. If information on any other transmission is required, please contact Lehman and such information will be forwarded to you.
Maintenance The importance of correct lubrication, periodic inspection and adjustment cannot be over-emphasized. On it will depend, to a very large extent, the service which your engine will deliver. The heat exchanger of your engine is protected by a "zinc pencil" which should be inspected and replaced periodically as required.
Rotate the engine and following the sequence in the following table, adjust each of the remaining valves. Replace rocker cover, making certain that gasket is unbroken and correctly positioned. After running engine for a short while, check rocker arm cover gasket for possible oil leaks. FIG.

Idling stop screw locknut TO ADJUST IDLING SPEED: When properly serviced and after the initial “break-in” period, your engine should idle as indicated on spec sheet. Engine must be at normal operating temperature when making adjustments.

It is common marine practice to utilize engine coolant passed through a hot water heater to provide domestic hot water. Connection to engine is made with Lehman Kit D1496. A coolant feed to the heater is made from the engine drain plug on the portside of block while the coolant return hose is attached to the forward, port side of the exhaust manifold.
