Maintenance Procedures After an Overhaul or Major Repair
After the initial start-up, perform the maintenance that is listed in Table 1. See the maintenance procedures that are in this Operation and Maintenance Manual (Maintenance Section).
Table 1
Maintenance Procedures After an Overhaul or Major Repair
Interval Maintenance Procedure
Following the start-up procedure Obtain an oil sample and analysis.
Remove at least one oil filter element from each oil filter housing. Cut the element open. Inspect the filter material for debris.
100 operating hours Obtain an oil sample and analysis.
500 operating hours Replace all of the oil filter elements. Cut the used elements open. Inspect the filter material for debris.
Perform the procedures that are described in this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Valve Lash - Check/Adjust" topic (Maintenance Section). Starting the Engine After a System Generated Shut Down
Do not perform any procedure in this Special Instruction until you read this information and you understand this information.This Special Instruction provides a procedure for inspecting the engine after a system generated shutdown.The cause of a system generated shutdown must be corrected prior to an engine restart. Severe engine damage may occur if the problem is not corrected. In some cases, the cause of the shutdown may be obvious and easily corrected. In some cases, a visual inspection may not reveal the root cause of the shutdown. The engine must be started in order to determine the root cause.The time that is required for the start-up procedure is approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes. Determining the root cause of a system generated shutdown in order to avoid engine damage is important. This procedure is a method for an engine restart when the root cause of the system generated shutdown cannot be determined by visual inspection alone.Note: If the engine is shut down by the oil mist detector, refer to the engine Operation and Maintenance Manual.The following conditions can cause a system generated shutdown.
High aftercooler and oil cooler water temperature (inlet)
High jacket water coolant temperature (outlet)
High fuel temperature (inlet)
High inlet manifold air temperature
High crankcase pressure
High engine oil temperature
Low engine oil pressure
High engine oil filter differential pressure
Presence of metal particles in the oil lines
OverspeedIf the engine must be restarted, perform the following start-up procedure.Starting Procedure
Inspect the condition and the level of all fluids. Correct any problem with the fluids.
Ensure that the engine is off-line or that the gearbox is in neutral.
Start and run the prelube pump, refer to "Starting the Engine After an Overhaul or Major Repair" step 2. Rotate the crankshaft with the barring device for a minimum of two revolutions.
Start the engine and allow the engine to idle at approximately 900 RPM. Refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Operation" for the procedure on starting and running the engine at low idle,Do not take the engine to high idle at this time. Monitor the temperatures and pressures. Prepare to perform a manual engine shutdown if abnormal conditions exist.
Allow the engine to idle for 10 minutes. While the engine is at idle, walk around the engine and visually inspect
