- it is not permissible to keep the engine running under the cooling liquid temperature
lower than 60°С, because in these conditions the non burnt fuel flushes the oil off the cyl-
inder liner walls and gets the oil burning in the engine crankcase;
- the engine must not run longer than 1 minute under the full load and the speed lower
than the speed corresponding to the maximal torque, so you should shift to the down
gear;
- the engine operation in the range exceeding the maximal speed may lead to the engine
damaging, so driving downhill use lower gear-box gears in combination with the vehicle
service brake;
- do timely engine technical service according to section 3.1;
- to prevent the “COMMON RAIL” Electronic Control Unit (ECU) damage, while dis-
connecting harnesses or accumulator battery wires from it, as well as while replacing
fuses, ignition and the mass switch must be off. The system disconnection, the system el-
ements replacement must be done with the ignition switched off.
- do periodical check of the assembly units fixing, tighten the mountings;
- use only the fuel and oil grades recommended in this Manual;
- keep the diesel engine clean, do not allow leakage of fuel, oil and cooling liquid, un-
cleaned air sucking into the cylinders;
- doing repair and welding is allowed only with the accu,ulator battery terminals discon-
nected.
2.2 Diesel engine preparing for operation
2.2.1 Safety rules to be observed while preparing diesel engine for operation
Eligible for diesel engines preparation for operation are certified engine operators and
drivers having been duly instructed on the operation safety and fire safety rules.
Start working only after a detailed study of the engine design and operation proce-
dures.While loading/ unloading the engine in transportation, clamp the lifting equipment
slings only to the eye-bolts located on the engine (the slinging method is described in An-
nex
И).
Wkile doing the engine depreservation, follow the fire safety rules and the hygene rules
working with chemicals, used rags and oil paper.
Do not allow dismantling protective shieldings implied by the diesel engine design.
While examining the engine visually, use a portable lamp with the voltage of not more
than 24V.
The tools and appliances used in the engine preparation for operation must be well work-
ing, fit for the intended use and ensure safety in doing the job.
The location where the engine is prepared for operation must be equipped with fire ex-
tinction means.
2.2.2 Diesel engine, its assembly units and parts depreservation
Diese engines coming to consumers are preserved for shelf keeping from 6 months to 1
year period.
The particular preservation period is indicated in the engine passport.
The sequence of depreservation operations is shown in Table 9.
