Operating Instructions
Operational availability, reliability as well as low operating and maintenance costs can be achieved only by
adherence to our operating, maintenance and care instructions.
In additon:
- trained personnel must be used,
- suitable tools must be employed,
- genuine spare parts and fluids and lubricants to MTU Fluids and Lubricants Specification A001061 must be used
and
- the maintenance operations must be carried out in accordance with the MTU maintenance schedule.
Our Product Support Service is, of course, available ot assist and advise you at any time should the need arise.
Prior to engine startup it must be determined whether startup is:

- after a short, scheduled operational shutdown.
- after an extended out-of-service period.
- initial startup of a new engine.
Accordingly the Before-Operation Services are sub-divided into:

-B1- Preparation for service after a short, scheduled operational shutdown
-B2- Preparation for service after an extended out-of-service period (in excess of 1 week).
-B3- Preparations for initial startup of a new or preserved engine.
Correct engine installation and alignment according to MTU regulations are the basic requirements for initial engine
startup.
Prior to engine shutdown it must be determined whether shutdown is for:

- a short, scheduled operational shutdown
- an extended out-of-service period.
In the event of an engine malfunction a decision must be made as to whether:

- the engine must be shut down, or
- operation may be continued, for a short period, using emergency measures, until rectification can be effected.

Low operating and maintenance costs as well as operational reliability and availability depend on maintenance
and servicing being carried out in compliance with our specifications and instructions.
The overall system, of which the engine is an integral part, must be maintained in such a way as to ensure trou-
ble-free engine operation at all times. For this purpose always:
− ensure that sufficient fuel is available,
− ensure that the combustion air is dry and clean,
− use only dry, clean compressed air,
− use only clean, filtered raw water.
Moreover, it is essential that:
− maintenance tasks be completed by trained personnel,
− suitable tools be used,
− genuine spare parts and fluids and lubricants as per the current MTU Fluids and Lubricants Specification
A001061 be used.
Our Product Support Service will always be available should assistance be required.
Preventive maintenance instructions.
− Special care should be taken to keep the machinery plant in a clean and serviceable condition at all times to
facilitate early detection of possible leaks and prevent subsequent damage.
− Protect rubber and synthetic components from oil and fuel, never treat with organic detergents. Wipe with a
dry cloth only.
− Always replace all seals and gaskets.
Maintenance Concept
The maintenance concept is a preventive maintenance concept and features the maintenance echelons W1 to
W6 as outlined below.
Preventive maintenance facilitates advance planning and ensures a high degree of equipment availability.
Main features of the maintenance echelons:
− W1: Operational checks
− W2, W3 and W4: Periodic maintenance tasks to be performed during out-of-service periods without the need
for engine disassembly.
− W5: This echelon requires partial engine disassembly.
− W6: Major overhaul. This echelon requires complete engine disassembly.
The time intervals according to which the Maintenance Echelons and the relevant checks and tasks involved are
to be completed are based on operational experience. They have been determined so as to ensure correct engi-
ne operation until the next scheduled maintenance echelon.
Use of a maintenance predictor can mean changes to the operating hours given in the Maintenance Frequency
Chart.
Specific operational conditions may require modification of the Maintenance Schedule.
NOTE:
The codes on the following pages refer to the groups and subgroups of the Task Descriptions in Part G of the Engine Operation Ma-
nual.
This Maintenance Schedule may refer to parts which are not installed on your engine, these may be disregarded.

Troubleshooting
If a fault occurs in the Plant, an attempt must be made to trace the cause of the fault via the features or symptoms.
It is better to shut the engine down in good time

than to cause more serious secondary damage.
Even in the event of small faults where it is not possible to establish their cause immediately, it is sensible to cut
back to idling speed or, even better, to shut down the engine.
In addition it is essential that:

− maintenance services be carried out by trained personnel
− proper tools be used
− original spare parts, fluids and lubricants be used in accordance with MTU Fluids and Lubricants Specification
A001061.
Our Product Support department is, of course, available at all times and willing to assist or advise you.
The following pages contain information on possible:

− faults on the machinery plant and their causes, as well as measures necessary to rectify the faults.

GENERAL
Internal Water Leakage
Consequential damage caused by corrosion must be avoided.

If the engine cannot be repaired immediately, perform the following operations:
− Drain coolant and engine oil
− Add preservation oil, kerosene or diesel fuel via oil filler necks or an oil filler line in the crank chamber until the
max. level is reached
− Remove coolant and charge air manifolds
− Remove fuel injectors
− Bar engine manually and spray preservation oil, kerosene or diesel fuel into the compression chamber via the
opening inlet valves
Important! This corrosion protection procedure is only effective for a few days. Repair of the engine and thorough
cleaning of the parts should, therefore, be carried out as soon as possible.
Fill system with fresh oil and coolant in compliance with MTU Fluids and Lubricants Specification A001061 before
restarting the repaired engine.
It is essential to change the engine oil after 50 operating hours as the fresh oil may be contaminated by residual
water left in the crankcase.
Engine Oil Diluted with Fuel
Always change the engine oil before restarting after rectifying the fault.
The old oil should be removed with particular thoroughness from the oil pan and filter housings.
Replace filter elements.
After Work on Engine
If running gear components have been replaced, e.g. pistons, piston rings, cylinder liners, carry out engine running-in
procedure.
After Engine Shutdown via Emergency Air Shut-off Flap(s)
If the engine has been shut down via the emergency air shut-off flap(s):
Open emergency air shut-off flap(s) manually before restarting the engine (G10.151).

Protective Measures on Engine After Penetration by Raw (Sea) Water
Seawater causes heavy corrosion in the engine within only a few hours.
Immediately the engine room has been pumped dry, drain the engine completely and refill with a 10% fresh wa-
ter/corrosion inhibitor emulsion.
If, in an emergency, there is no corrosion inhibitor available the engine may be filled with thin engine oil (but not with
diesel fuel).
The degree of protection achieved with a fresh water/corrosion inhibitor emulsion is to be preferred because sea-
water residues will mix with the emulsion and can thus be more thoroughly flushed out of the system.
Fuel oil will only enclose the seawater residues; they will not be flushed out.
As soon as possible, carry out the following operations:
Wash the engine externally with fresh water, taking care to remove all sludge and dirt.
Drain the cooling, lube oil and fuel systems:
Remove the fuel injectors and the cylinder heads. Open all covers of on-engine accessories.
Flush out all residues of salt or salt water. Use a pressure hose to spray the gear train, valve gear and combustion
chambers with fresh water.
Thoroughly flush the cooling, lube oil and fuel systems with clean fresh water.
When carrying out these operations crank the engine manually
and take particular care to ensure that no dirt is flushed into the cylinders.
Immediately the engine components have been thoroughly washed and/or flushed with clean fresh water drain all
residues of water from all components and pipework.
Repeat the spraying/flushing operations using a 5% fresh water/corrosion inhibitor emulsion and then using pure
preservation oil.
Treat the fuel injectors, cylinder heads and all easy-to-remove components as follows:
Remove components from engine and wash or flush with clean fresh water, dip into a bath of 5% fresh wa-
ter/corrosion inhibitor emulsion then, if possible, blow dry with compressed air.
Dip components into pure corrosion inhibitor oil and reinstall.
To ensure that in the course of this treatment the flushing agents and corrosion inhibitor oils penetrate the most con-
fined spaces and bearing areas, all flushing and spraying operations must be carried out under pressure.
Note! The anti-corrosion protection obtained by this treatment is restricted, the engine must be completely dismant-
led and cleaned within 14 days, at the latest.
For the production of the fresh water/corrosion inhibitor emulsion mentioned above and for engine preservation
treatment always use approved corrosion inhibitors and preservation oils as listed in the MTU Fluids and Lubricants
Specification No. A001061.

Task Description
This part of the manual gives information regarding the inspection and maintenance operations to be carried out up
to and including maintenance echelon W4.
The W5 and W6 maintenance tasks and schedules, together with other operations which go beyond normal inspecti-
on and maintenance, are contained in the Maintenance Manual.
The time intervals in the maintenance schedule apply to inspection and maintenance operations which have to be
carried out at regular intervals.
The five-digit codes, given in parentheses, indicate the Part, Group and Sugroup in which the operations are descri-
bed.

Safety and Accident Prevention
These symbols indicate particularly important safety

instructions in this part of the manual.
In all such cases, be particularly careful.
Ensure that all operating personnel are fully familiar with
safety and accident prevention instructions.
General Safety and Accident Prevention Instructions
In addition to the instructions given in this manual,

compliance with varying national and legislative safety
and accident prevention regulations is mandatory.
Correct Working Clothes
Working clothing should be tight-fitting so that it cannot

foul rotating or projecting components.
Caution with Engine Running
Wherever possible, work should only be carried out on

the machinery plant with the engine shut down and
engine start disabled.
If maintenance must be carried out with the engine

running, care must be taken to avoid rotating and hot
components. Wear ear protectors at all times.
Under no circumstances may coolant, oil, fuel or

compressed lines be removed with the engine running.
Maintenance and Care
A major safety factor is compliance with maintenance

periods.
Never try to rectify malfunctions or carry out repairs for

which you are not fully qualified or do not have the
necessary special tools.
Consult MTU Product Support Service.
Fluids and Lubricants
Use only MTU-tested and approved fluids and lubricants

in accordance with the MTU Fluids and Lubricants
Specification A001061.

Welding Operations - Safety Measures
Never use the engine as a ground connection. (This

prevents the welding current passing through the engine
and causing fires or melting at bearings, sliding surfaces
and tooth flanks, which may lead to pitting or other
material damage).
Never carry out welding work on the engine or engine-

mounted units.
Never position the welding power supply cable adjacent

to, or crossing MTU plant wiring harnesses.
The welding current can be induced in the wiring
harnesses, which could damage the electrical unit.
The ground connection for the welding unit must not be

attached more than 60 cm from the welding point.
If welding must be performed on components (e.g.

exhaust pipe), remove these components from the
engine prior to welding.
It is not necessary to remove the connector and

connections when carrying out welding operation on
MTU electronics if the master switch for power supply is
switched from "ON" to "OFF" and the wire is
disconnected from the negative and positive poles on
the battery.
When carrying out welding operations, always wear

proper head protection, goggles, aprons and other
suitable protective clothing.
Wiring - Measures Taken during Maintenance and Repair Work
After completion of maintenance and repair work, make

sure that any cables that were removed are properly
secured in position.
Always use connector pliers to tighten connectors.
If cables come into contact with mechanical components

and there is a danger of chaffing, the cables should be
secured in position with cable clamps.
Cable ties should not be used to secure wiring since

cable ties are removed during subsequent maintenance
and repair work and are not reinstalled.

Engine External Cleaning (Cleaning with Water or Steam Jet)
Caution!
Take care when using high-pressure jet.
Risk of injury and scalding!
Never direct high-pressure jet at people, animals,
the equipment or electrical parts.
Always wear protective clothing, protective gloves and
protective goggles/safety mask.
When removing deposits or when cleaning, only use a

cleaning agent which does not contain chemicals
damaging to light metal, nonferrous metal, steel, gray
cast iron and elastomers.
Clean engine only at points with appropriate oil

separator (environmental protection).
Prior to initial operation, read the Operating

Instructions for water and steam jet unit and pay
special attention to the Safety Instructions.
When cleaning externally with a high-pressure jet, only

use a flat jet nozzle.
Carry out the external cleaning as follows:
Disable engine start; for this purpose cut out power

supply.
1st step: Loosen dirt

Spray cleaning agent sparingly and
allow to take effect for 1 to 5 minutes.
2nd step: Remove dirt

Remove loosened dirt with the high-pressure jet.
Note: When cleaning the engine externally with water

or steam jets, the high-pressure jet (cleaning jet) must
not exceed a pressure of 100 bar (1450 PSI).
Ensure minimum spraying distance to engine is 20 cm
(8 inch).
The temperature of cleaning medium must not exceed

max. 80 °C (176 °F).
Note: Liquid penetrating electrical components

(temperature transmitter, pressure transmitter,
terminal boxes) can result in vehicle / plant malfunction
or failure.

Preliminary Test
Close shut-off valve (2) for pressure gauge (1).
Operate the nozzle tester (4) pump handle (3)

vigorously several times.
This is done to eliminate minor problems such as a
sticking nozzle needle and to flush the nozzle holder
and nozzle briefly with pure test oil.
Opening Pressure Test
Open shut-off valve (2) for pressure gauge (1).
Slowly press pump lever (4) downwards.
Note: With pressure cut in, raise and lower pressure

slowly; otherwise pressure gauge is damaged.
When nozzle opens or when spraying commences,

read off opening pressure at pressure gauge.
If the opening pressure is below the minimum pressure

(A.030), it must be increased to the specified setting.
If the opening pressure of an injector valve is not be

set, alter the preload of the pressure spring by inserting
shims as appropriate.
A thicker shim increases spring pretension and opening

pressure rises.
Leak Check
Carry out leak check when nozzle needle is closed.
Press the pump lever (4) down slowly until the pressure
gauge (1) shows a pressure approx. 20 bar below the
preset nozzle opening pressure. No droplets of fuel
should form at the nozzle orifices within 10 seconds.

Group K
Preservation
The following instructions differentiate between preservation, re-preservation and before-operation services on a
preserved diesel engine.
Preservation must be carried out on:

- new or completely overhauled engine, following the test run (preservation is carried out by MTU, but may be
omitted if the engine is to be put into immediate operation).
- engines being withdrawn from operation for a period exceeding three months, as soon after the final operating
period as possible.
Preservation is adequate for a storage period of up to:

- 12 months under favourable storage conditions,
- 6 months under unfavourable storage conditions, e.g. high humidity, salt-laden atmoshpere, pronounced
temperature fluctuations, etc.
On conclusion of the preservation period, carry out re-preservation at the requisite intervals.
Re-preservation is adequate for a storage period of up to:

- 6 months under favourable storage conditions,
- 3 months under unfavourable storage conditions, e.g. high humidity, salt-laden atmosphere, pronounced
temperature fluctuations, etc.
Note: Only preservation materials approved by MTU must be used, see MTU FLUIDS and Lubricants Specification
A001061.
The operations and tests required for preservation, re-preservation and before operation are set out in the requisite
task sequences, with three-digit and five-digit codes.
Instructions and descriptions relating to these services will be found as follows:

- 3-digit codes, in Group K
- 5-digit codes, in Group G
The services specified in Group K may be omitted if they cannot be completed due operationally required special
equipment (e.g. test stand).
Before- and after-operation services on the engine must be carried out in accordance with Group C.

Services Identified by 3-Digit Codes
001 Clean engine

Clean the engine externally and check for damage and corrosion. If necessary, remove rust spots and renew paint.
Note: Do not use organic detergents to clean rubber or synthetic components. Wipe with a dry cloth only.
003 Preserve fuel system

Connect fuel delivery suction pump suction line to a separate tank,
Fill tank with
− Injection pump testing oil, to DIN ISO 4113 or
− Diesel fuel with approx. 10% corrosion inhibitor oil, for internal preservation
If possible, preserve the fuel system with the engine warm
− Preservation is carried out during the preservation run (see 004).
004 Perform preservation run

Run the engine for approx. 20 minutes at idling speed and at operating temperature.
005 Preserve starting system

Disconnect starting air line to air starter and fill with corrosion inhibitor oil. Quantity: 0.5 litre to 1 litre
Reconnect starting air line. Bar engine with starting system.
007 Spray corrosion inhibitor oil onto turbocharger compressor wheels

Remove air supply pipework from turbochargers.
Lightly spray compressor wheels and housing with corrosion inhibitor oil while
rotating the compressor wheels.
Reconnect air supply pipework.

Depending on climatic conditions, fill and flush the system with coolant containing 2% coolant emulsion or 50%
antifreeze.
In conditions of prevailing above-freezing temperatures, the system should be filled with coolant containing
emulsifying corrosion inhibitor oil after the preservation or represervation procedure, to provide additional protection
against corrosion. This requires the coolant pipeline connections to be sealed with blanking flanges and gaskets, or
sealing cones.
If freezing temperatures occur, the system must be drained.
If antifreeze is used for preservation, the mixture should be allowed to remain in the system to provide further
protection against corrosion.
At temperatures below -40 °C, the system must be drained.
010 Seal engine air system

Close the emergency air shut-off flaps. Seal the air filters with plastic sheeting and air intakes with suitable covers.
011 Seal engine exhaust system

Cover the exhaust outlets at the bellows with suitable blanking plates.
