New Engine Initial service
General
Before starting a new or reconditioned engine for the first time, give it an initial inspection. This to guarantee your
own safety as well as the maximum service life of the engine.
External Inspection
1. Check the engine control system for loose termin-
als.
2. Check defects of engine parts.
3. Check the following components for loose bolts or
nuts:
* Plugs and covers of fuel, lubrication and cooling
system
* Coupling of fuel injection pump and shaft
* Crankshaft pulley and vibration damper
* Mounting brackets
* Fuel control linkage
* Turbocharger
* Timing gear case
* Exhaust manifolds
* Cylinder heads
* Air-duct connection-hose clamp
4. Check for Fuel, Oil, Coolant and Air leaks and rep-
air if needed.
5. Make commissioning report for new or overhauled
engine.
IMPORTANT! All covers must be mounted before
attempting to start your engine.
Valves and Plugs
Make sure the following valves and plugs are open or
closed properly:
Fuel supply valve
Coolant drain cock (engine)
Coolant drain cock (water pump)
Coolant drain cock (heat exchanger) Closed
IMPORTANT! If the coolant drain cocks are not
closed the coolant will drain from the engine and
this may cause severe damage to the engine.
