For Canopied generating set lifting is shown below. Use proper sling/tackle arrangement for
lifting the generating set.
Force feed lubrication is provided by a ‘G’ rotor type pump to main bearings, large end
bearings, camshaft journals and to the valve gear, fuel pump and turbocharger (incase of
turbocharged engines). Other components like connecting rod small end bushes, cylinder
liners and gear train are splash lubricated. Piston cooling nozzles are provided for piston
cooling for turbocharged engines only. Oil supply to valve gear is achieved through rocker
shaft core hole; the oil supply is controlled to the valves and rocker arm by oil metering screw,
which results into lower oil consumption and lower carbon deposition. The system includes
adequate filtering by replaceable ‘Spin-on’ filter cartridge. For 6R1080 series engines twin
filter cartridges are provided and a centrifuge Lube oil filter is also provided. The water-cooled
lube oil cooler is provided to maintain the oil temperature within limits. A relief valve controls
the maximum oil pressure, which is provided on delivery side of the lube oil pump.

If the pressure at any time drops, at engine idling rpm or below 1.5 kg/cm2 at operating
speed of 1500 rpm, under loaded condition, then replace the lube oil filter cartridge and
check the pressure. If the pressure is still low, then contact your Distributor.
The maximum lube oil temperature for ‘R1040/R1080’ series engines is ambient temperature
plus 700C. For example if ambient temperature is 400C, the maximum lube oil temperature
should be 1100 C
Note: -
1. During the running in period of first 50 hours, never exceed ‘full load’ even for a
short duration; this is applicable for stationary applications like power generation
application.
2. During the running in period the oil consumption is slightly more than the above
figure.
3 The lube oil consumption varies according to engine operating conditions. The value
mentioned above is for the normal engine operating condition.
The lube oil sump capacities and oil change period of ‘R1040/R1080’ series engines are as below: -

Fill the oil Lube oil filter before fitting on the engine.
Do not forget to fill the Lube oil filter whenever you replace the filter.
Whenever Lube oil filter is drained off, add approximately 0.5 lit. /1 lit.extra Lube oil
(as per the size of the Spin-on filter cartridge) in the sump to maintain the correct oil
level.)
The oil level in the sump should be checked at room temperature by using dipstick.
Top up with fresh oil when the level reaches the low level mark on dip stick, fill till it
increases to top level mark. Avoid over filling.
The chart below shows the nomenclature of lube oil in different standards. Lube oils of
correct viscosity and detergency grades should be used. For detergency, oil should comply
with the following specifications
For viscosity, the recommended SAE number should be used. SAE J 30 specifies the viscosity of
Lube oils for each SAE No.
Always use oil brands of reputed oil companies. Too viscous oil causes starting difficulties. The
ambient temperature prevailing at the time of starting the engine should be governed the choice of the
viscosity grade, during winter operation.
Page 8 of 48

NOTE: It the fuel tank is to be installed below the fuel pump level, and then the bottom level
of the fuel tank should be less than 1 meter below the feed pump inlet
2.5.2 Fuel Specifications
The performance of the engine depends upon supply of clean and correct grade of
fuel. The fuel injection equipment is manufactured to very close tolerances and
slightest amount of dirt in fuel can cause wear on the injection equipment. Following
points are important in use of fuel on Kirloskar R1040/1080 series engines.
The following specifications are approved: -
• BS: 2869-A1&A2 (In case of A2, note sulphur content)
Page 9 of 48
R1040 MAINTENANCE MANUAL
• DIN 51 601
• ASTMD 975-81:1D&2D
Winter Grade Fuel-
At low temperatures, waxing may occur and clog the fuel system, thus causing
operational troubles.
In the case of ambient temperature below 10° c, use ‘Winter Grade’ diesel fuel,
mixed with Kerosene.
Fig.2.5.2
PREPARE THE BLEND IN THE TANK ITSELF. FILL IN THE NECESSARY AMOUNT
OF KEROSENE FIRST, THEN ADD DIESEL FUEL.
The storage of fuel oil is of utmost importance since many engine problems are
traced to dirty fuel or fuel stored for too long a period. Store fuel in a
convenient place outside the building.
It is recommended that the fuel tank should be filled in at the end of the day’s
work. This keeps moisture out of the tank.
To eliminate water from the fuel, drain out small quantity of fuel from fuel
tank through a drain plug every day before starting the engine.

IMPORTANT
• In order to have the efficient cooling and optimum performance of the engine, we
recommend using the radiator supplied by KOEL.
• It is also necessary to ensure proper ventilation to avoid hot air re-circulation into the
cooling system. Please refer KOEL Genset Manual for details.
2.6.2 Coolant
In summer, use fresh water with anticorrosion additive for engine cooling to avoid rust
formation.
Water should be clear and free of any corrosive chemicals such as chloride, sulphates and
acids.
We recommend to use, coolant blend of soft water and one of the following rust preventive
compound as mentioned below
In winter, use Ethylene glycol antifreeze diluted with coolant blend as mentioned above in
the proportion in the cooling system as mentioned below
Ambient Ratio by volume of antifreeze
temperature 0 C to cooling winter blend
+5 to –5 20:80
-6 to -15 33:67
-16 to -25 40:60

Page 11 of 48
R1040 MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Commercially available ready mixed coolants can also be used, with Antifreeze
and anticorrosion additives after ascertaining suitability for low ambient
temperature.
Storage of engine with only fresh water in engine cooling system should be
avoided at ambient temperature below 5° C. This may cause cracks in the engine
components.
• If the engine is to be transported from normal ambient areas to Low ambient areas
ambient below +5°C the complete cooling system should be drained and
refilled with Antifreeze + water mixture as mentioned above.

R1040 MAINTENANCE MANUAL
3.1.2 Diesel
Fill the fuel tank after making sure that it is properly clean. Use High Speed Diesel fuel
as recommended in section 2.5.2. According to the ambient temperatures, summer or
winter grade diesel fuel should be used. Connect the fuel pump to fuel supply tank as
shown in fuel circuit diagram fig. 2.5.1.
• Never fill the fuel tank while the engine is running. Strictly observe cleanliness.
Do not spill any fuel.
• The recommended minimum fuel pipe inside diameter for fuel inlet pipes & fuel
return pipe (leak off) between tank and engine are as below.
Loosen the vent screw on primary fuel filter as shown in fig.3.1.3.1 below
Operate the fuel lift pump (feed pump) until oil flows without air bubbles as
shown in fig. 3.1.3.3 below.

Fill the cooling water system with recommended coolant blend (See section 2.6.2)
Fill the coolant through neck of radiator till it flows through the radiator over flow
pipe. (See fig. 3.1.4)
Fig. 3.1.4
Do not open the radiator cap while engine is running or hot. The cooling system is
under pressure hence danger of burning body skin.
Add coolant when the coolant system is cold. The temperature difference between
the coolant in the engine and the coolant being added must not exceed 500C.
3.1.5 Belts
Check that belts are in position and the belt tension is proper. If the belt tension is not proper
adjust the same as described in section 5.5
Page 15 of 48
R1040 MAINTENANCE MANUAL
It is not necessary to check adjust the valve clearance on a new engine as it is already
adjusted at its required value. However after overhauling the engine, it is necessary to
recheck and adjust the valve clearance before starting the engine. See section 5.6.1
Check battery and lead connections. Also check the cable connections at the starter &
alternator. Loose connections lead to improper contact and damage to the terminals.
3.2 Starting
After repairs:
Make sure that all safety guards have been put back into their original position.
All tools are removed from the engine and the driven machine.

Select specified viscosity grade to meet the performance level for the ambient
temperature prevailing at the time of starting the engine. Refer section 2.4.6
Note shorter periods between oil changes when operating below –100C. See section 5.1.1
Diesel fuel
Use winter grade fuel for operation below +100C. See section 2.5.2.
Cold starting of a diesel engine depends upon the capacity of starter motor and that of the
battery. Since the starting equipment of the engine may differ according to its application,
please consult your dealer about the use of cold starting aid. However the general
guidelines are given below.
Battery
Cold starting requires a good state of charge of battery. Lowering the starting limit
temperature by 40 to 50C is possible by increasing the battery temperature to about +200C.
Removing the battery and storing it in a warm room or by using battery-preheating pads
could achieve this.
Engine coolant
Use coolant blend with antifreeze ‘Ethylene Glycol’ for operations below +50C. The
percentage of mixing the antifreeze into water as per ambient temperatures is given in
section 2.6.2
With increasing altitude or ambient temperature, the air density decreases, which affects,
1) Maximum power output of the engine.
2) The exhaust gas temperature.
3) In extreme cases the starting behavior.
Page 17 of 48
R1040 MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Note: - The declared power ratings of the engine are obtained at standard reference
conditions as per ISO 3046/ BS 5514/ DIN 6271/ IS 10000.
Where engines are operated at greater altitudes and or higher ambient temperatures, they
must be derated in accordance with respective standards.
Deration Charts
Deration chart for Naturally aspirated engines
The deration chart applicable for naturally aspirated engines is illustrated below.
The chart is prepared on the basis of standard ambient conditions mentioned in ISO
3046/DIN 6271/BS 5514, with 60% relative humidity. For higher relative humidity the
deration increases by 2% for 20% rise in relative humidity above 60% relative humidity.

The duration of the operating period before overhaul depend entirely on the maintenance and
service given to engine and also the type of environment and engine load cycle. However
after about 3000 running hours engine may need top overhaul (servicing of combustion
system) and after about 9000 running hours engine may need major overhaul. These periods
are based upon the assumption that the engine is maintained properly as per the instructions
given in this manual. Hence, the above estimated overhaul periods are to be referred to as
general guideline. Please refer the workshop manual for further details.
• The oil change intervals depend on engine application and on quality of lube oil. Refer table
below: -
• Should, within ONE YEAR, the engine run less than the hours stated in the table, the oil
must be changed at least ONCE A YEAR.
• The table is subject to the following condition: - Prevailing ambient temperature
down to -10°C.
• Stop the engine and wait for a while till oil level in the sump is settled. Ensure that
engine is in horizontal position.
• Pull out dipstick, wipe it with a non-fraying rag and push it in as far as it will go
and then withdraw again (Fig. 5.1.2).

Hold the rotor in hand and lift rotor to remove it completely from central shaft. See Fig
5.1.5.4 above.The rotor will contain about 200 ml of oil. Drain oil from the rotor. The
rotor has two bushes at its ends. Take care while removing rotor from central shaft. The
rotor should not fall; otherwise it will damage the bushes.
Unscrew rotor nut by holding rotor assembly in hand. The rotor nut can be opened by hand. if it
is tight, unscrew it with light pliers. Never grip the rotor nut tightly in clamping device
like a bench vice. It may damage the rotor body permanently. Remove rotor cover and
deflector inside. For removing rotor cover, remove the rotor nut completely, hold the
rotor cover in hand and give a light blow to the rotor body at the rotor nut end by hand.
The rotor body and deflector will come out from the opposite end.
After you open the rotor, you will see cake formed sticky dirt mass all around the rotor
cover from inside. Remove the dirt by a blunt knife as shown. Clean the rotor cover and all
rotors thoroughly by compressed air. See Fig 5.1.5.5 below. Clean the centrifuge central
shaft also.

R1040 MAINTENANCE MANUAL
2. While assembling the rotor, ensure that the rubber ring has taken proper seat in its
place. This is necessary for proper sealing of rotor assembly.
3. Take care with the centrifuge housing and rotor body. They are made of aluminium, hence
are susceptible to damage due to accident.
4. Always ensure that the arrow marks on rotor cover and rotor are matched after
assembling the rotor. See Fig 5.1.5.6 above. The rotor body is dynamically balanced.
Mismatch of arrow marks on rotor cover and rotor will result in excessive vibrations of
the cleaner and part breakage.
5. The rubber ring is made of Viton rubber. Use genuine spare rubber ring only. Rubber
ring of any other material will not give desired performance.
Don’ts about centrifuge cleaner
Fig 5.1.5.7
Do not over tighten the top nut. Tighten just enough to prevent leakage of oil from
centrifuge cover and housing. Over tightening top nut will damage the threading in
centrifuge housing and damage the centrifuge permanently.
Use 1.2 kg-m torque for tightening of centrifuge cover.
Fig 5.1.5.8
Do not hold the rotor nut in clamping device like bench vice as shown. Extra
clamping pressure on rotor nut may result in damaging the circularity of upper bush
and will result in permanent damage to rotor assembly. See Fig 5.1.5.7 above
Do not open or tamper with the valve assembly. The valve assembly is preset for
opening oil pressure in engine’s oil gallery. If the setting is lost or the valve

• Change over period for pre-filter insert and micro filter insert is given in ‘Routine
Maintenance Schedule 4.1.
• For changing micro-filter insert follow the same procedure explained above.
NOTE:
1) Always replace the cartridge with new one at recommended intervals.
2) Since a filter attains the maximum efficiency only after a film of dirt is deposited on the
surface of the filter insert, avoid replacing pre-filter cartridge and micro-filter
cartridge at the same time. First change pre-filter cartridge and then after 250
running hours change micro-filter cartridge.
3) The Routine Maintenance schedule is meant to serve as a guide only for normal fuel storage
and engine operating conditions. Replacement of cartridges may have to be made earlier
than the recommended period.
IMPORTANT when working on the fuel system, keep naked lights away! Do
not smoke!
Engine cooling system contains radiator, fan, water pump and temperature controller i e.

Check coolant level in the radiator every day before starting the engine Remove the
radiator cap and fill coolant through radiator neck until it spills out of overflow pipe
fitted on radiator (Fig.5.3.1). Refit radiator cap firmly.
5.3.1 Radiator
IMPORTANT Do not open radiator cap while the engine is running or hot. The cooling
system is under pressure. Danger of burning body skin!
• Add coolant only when the cooling system is cold. The temperature difference
between the coolant in the engine and the coolant being added must not exceed 50
°C.
• Cleaning the radiator fins
• Clean the radiator fins after every 1000 hours.
(Under very dusty conditions, this is to be done if coolant overheating is observed)
Fig 5.3.1
• For cleaning, blow the pressurized air through radiator fins in the reverse direction of the
flow of radiator fan (Fig.5.3.2). Do not spill water on radiator fins.
Fig 5.3.2
Flushing the radiator
Flush the radiator inside after every 1000 hours or once in a year whichever is earlier. This
period is applicable for clean soft water. If the water is hard and saline, the flushing is to be
done after every 500 hours or even earlier depending upon the type of water. In order to

Inlet cap or pre - cleaner is supplied for the air intake inlet cap prevents ingress of
rain/heavy particles.
Two filter elements are co - axially fitted in the air cleaner housing. The outer element is the
main filter element, with a built in cyclone separator which gives a swirling effect to
incoming air, to separate out heavy dust particles by centrifugal action. This dust is
collected in the end cover (which is removable). The vacuator valve at the bottom of cover
helps in expelling the accumulated dust. This is achieved by opening / closing of vacuator
valve outlet due to the airflow fluctuations inside the air cleaner.
Inner element is a ‘Safety Element’ to prevent ingress of dust into the engine, when the
outer (main) element is removed for cleaning / replacement. (For genset application, air
cleaners with only single main element are used.)
Maintenance
Regular check up and maintenance of the air cleaner is essential to ensure maximum protection
to the engine from the dust.
• Daily check the connection of rubber hose and the hose clips between the manifold and the
air cleaner before starting the engine. Damaged hose/ clips must be replaced
immediately. Any bypassing of unfiltered air through cracks in the hose / loose hose will
quickly lead to serious damage to the engine.
IMPORTANT Since this is a dry type air cleaner, do not fill a single drop of oil in it.
Also, protect the air cleaner form ingress of rain / moisture.
• The restriction indicator, mounted on air cleaner near the hose, indicates the condition
of the air cleaner element, when the air element is in good condition, a red signal will
be seen through the transparent window on the indicator when the engine is running
and will disappear when engine is stopped. However, if the element is choked, then the
red signal will remain ‘ON’ even after engine is stopped. This is an indication that the
main filter element must be removed & cleaned or replaced.
NOTES: -
1. If engine performance is poor, but restriction is still within limits, do not change the
element. The air cleaner is probably not at fault.
2. To get those extra service hours out of air cleaner element, make sure the air inlet is

away from any heavy dust clouds caused by operation. Also, make sure that exhaust
carbon cannot enter the air cleaner.
3 Discharge the dust vaccuator valve by pressing apart the lips of the ejection slot,
applying pressure as indicated by the arrows. See Fig 5.4.2 below.
Fig 5.4.2
• Clean the vacuation slot time to time.
• Remove any cakes of dust by pressing together the upper part of the valve.
• Make sure that vacuator valve is not damaged, if required change it
Cleaning of Filter Element
Cleaning of filter element is to be done only when a restriction indicator shows a red signal
even after the engine is stopped. For cleaning proceed as follows -
1) Loosen the mounting band of the dust cup, take out the outer element for checking and
cleaning. See Fig 5.4.3 below
.
Fig 5.4.3
2) Use a damp cloth to wipe out all excess dust in the air cleaner.
Fig 5.4.4
Page 33 of 48
R1040 MAINTENANCE MANUAL
IMPORTANT Too much air pressure can break the filter paper and destroy
the element. (Max. Air Pressure 3.0 kg/cm2)
6) Carefully check new or properly cleaned element for damage before installing.
Conduct a light test by passing the light through element as shown in Fig 5.4.5. If there is
any crack in the element, the light will pass through it. In that case replace the element.
Fig 5.4.5
7) Inspect the rubber-sealing ring at the end cover of the element. In case the seal is
damaged, replace the filter element. (Fig 5.4.6)
Fig 5.4.6
7) Replace the cleaned or new element in the air cleaner body and reinstall the end cover,
making sure it seals 360° around the air cleaner body. Reset the restriction indicator by
pressing the button at the top.

A single V belt of NPA/XPA section is used to drive engine water pump, radiator fan and
battery charging alternator for R1040/3R1040/4R1040/4R1040T engines.
• Inspect V-belts over whole length for damage or cracks. Renew damaged or cracked v-
belts.
• Check by pressing with the thumb midway between the pulleys to see whether the belt
deflects inwards by not more than 10 to 15 mm. (Fig 5.5.1)
Fig 5.5.1
On 6R1080T/TA engines a separate fan drive is provided with two belts in addition to
single belt drive for engine water pump, radiator fan and battery charging alternator.
Refer Fig 5.5.2

tension with the help of tension adjusting screw provided on the fan driving arrangement.
5.6 Adjustments
The valve clearance is the requisite gap between the rocker arm toe and valve stem end. See
Fig 5.6.1 below. Engine performance and power output depend on its correct setting, which
can be done by a skilled mechanic according to the instructions below -
Fig 5.6.1
Checking Valve Clearance
• Check clearance when engine is cold. (At room temperature)
• Remove the rocker cover.
• Turn crankshaft until the valves of the cylinder (on which the clearance is being
checked) are “overlapping” (exhaust valve about to close, inlet valve about to
open).
• Then continue turning the crankshaft through 360° (one complete revolution).At this
position both valves are closed.
• Insert a feeler gauge of 0.25 mm in the gap between rocker arm toe and valve for both
inlet. The valve clearance is correct when the filler gauge can be inserted with a slight
drag. Failing this, the valve clearance must be readjusted as follows –
Adjusting valve clearance -
• Loosen lock nut of adjusting screw through one or two turns and adjust the screw with
screwdriver so that, when locknut is retightened, the feeler gauge of 0.25 mm can be
inserted and with drawn with slight drag. (Fig 5.6.2).
Page 36 of 48
R1040 MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Fig 5.6.2
• Similarly, check the valve clearance of exhaust valve with 0.3mm feeler gauge.
Readjust if necessary.
• Check the valve clearances of each of the remaining cylinders and readjust, if necessary.
• Do not change the setting of oil metering screw unless required. With hot engine
running at idling, an oil flow to pad at rocker arm must be just noticeable. An
excess oil flow can lead to higher oil consumption.
5.7 Maintenance of Electrical Equipment
• Ensure that the mounting bolts are securely fastened and all electrical connections are clean
and tight. Cables should be examined for fractures, particularly where the strands enter the
terminal lugs.
• Check the brushes. They must be renewed if worn to approximately 10 mm (for 2 &
3 cylinder engines, and 13mm (for 4 & 6 cylinder engines, which is half of the original
or to a point where springs no longer provide effective pressure.
• Brushes must always be replaced in sets and with the correct grade.
• Check the brush spring balance as shown in F ig.5.7.1. The spring pressure
should be as follows-
Fig 5.7.1
0.965 to 1 -080kg (for 2 & 3 cylinder engines)
1.220 to 1.580 kg (for 4 & 6 cylinder engines)
If the pressure is not within the above limits, renew the springs in set and not
individually.
Page 37 of 48
R1040 MAINTENANCE MANUAL
• Check the commutator surface. It should be clean and entirely free from oil, any trace of
which should be removed by pressing a dry fluff less cloth against the commutator while the
armature is hand rotated. It the surface is dirty or badly discolored, clean it with a strip of
fine emery. Remove all traces of dust and abrasive using compressed air.
• The starter does not require lubrication from outside, since it is equipped with sealed type
bearings.
• Check the drive assembly for free movement over the shaft splines. If necessary, smear
grease over the shaft splines to enable the drive assembly to move freely.
(frequency once in 3 months.)
• Any work involving repairs/replacement of components of starter contact your
distributor.
5.7.2 Battery charging Alternator
• Check the brushes. Renew the brush and spring assemblies, if the overall lengths of the
brushes are worn to less than 10 mm. If brushes are satisfactory but require cleaning, use
petrol moistened cloth.
• The slip ring surfaces should be clean and smooth. If slip rings are burnt and require
refinishing, the surfaces may be cleaned with a piece of very fine emery paper.
• Check bearings and renew if worn.
• Check belt tension, readjust if necessary (see 5.5.1 & 5.5.4)
• Check the battery condition
• Keep the alternator reasonably clean and ensure that ventilation slots or air spaces are
clear and unobstructed. Check mounting bolts for tightness.
IMPORTANT A slack belt will rapidly wear and because of slip may not
drive the alternator at the required speed. Too tight a belt will impose severe
side thrust on the bearings and seriously shorten their life.
• Operating troubles are often due to improper operation or maintenance of the engine.

Electronic Governor
The Electronic Governor consists of three components.
Electric Actuator - Connected to engine fuel pump & controls the fuel quantity
delivered to the engine.
Electronic Speed Control Unit - Compares the existing engine speed with desired speed &
sends corrective signals to the electric actuator.
Magnetic Speed Sensor - Measures the engine speed by sending a proportional frequency signal
to the speed control unit.
The system does maintain any desired speed very accurately, independent of engine load. The
system offered is highly reliable with consistent accuracy & simplicity of adjustment.
The speed control unit is factory set. It is recommended that not to disturb the
settings.
System Troubleshooting
System inoperative
If the engine governing system does not function, the fault may be determined by performing the
voltage tests described in steps 1 through 6. Positive (+) and negative (-) refer to meter polarity.

this time the diesel in fuel pump gallery and high pressure pipes will be displaced by
Diesel + Preservative Oil mixture. Stop the engine.
Engine speed during above running -
• In case of variable speed engine - 800 to 1000 rpm
• In case of fixed speed engine - Rated speed at ‘No’ load. (Genset, Pumpset etc.)
f) Close the air inlet manifold (for the air cleaner inlet) and crank the engine by starter for 5 to
10 seconds. (In case of purely hand start engine, it should be hand cranked using the de-
compressor lever). This will ensure coating of Diesel + Preservative oil on the combustion
chamber surfaces.
g) Drain preservative oil from oil sump, reinstall drain plugs and reconnect fuel filter into
the fuel pipe line.
h) Treat all unpainted external ferrous metal parts with two coats of suitable rust
preventer as recommended in 8.1, allowing sufficient time for the first coat to
thoroughly dry before applying second coat.
i) All vents i.e. engine inlet pipe, exhaust pipe, air cleaner inlet, crankcase breather
etc. to be carefully sealed with water proof paper and water proof adhesive tape.
j) Dipstick on engine to be sealed in place, with water proof adhesive tape.
NOTE: - DO NOT ROTATE CRANKSHAFT AFTER ABOVE MENTIONED
OPERATIONS.
k) Loosen ‘V belts tension.
l) Battery for engine starting, if provided, should be disconnected and stored in a cool, dry
place after ensuring the electrolyte level, refill with distilled water, if necessary.
It is recommended to recharge the battery every 30 days.
m) Tag engine to indicate that it has been treated with preservatives, and should not
be turned over until ready to run, due to possible reduction of protective film. The
tag should show the date of treatment and validity date.
n) It is preferable to warp the engine in polyethylene bag and store in dry shade.
Periodically inspect the engine for rust or corrosion and take corrective action
if any.
o) If the engine is to be stored unused for more than 12 months, repeat the above procedure
completely, after every 12 months.
8.3 Commissioning of Preserved Engine
a) Remove all the sealing tapes / papers from various openings.
b) Remove the Rust Preventive coating from those unpainted machined surfaces,
which are interfacing surfaces for the driven equipment. This can be done using
NC Thinner.
c) Fill recommended grade of lube oil in the oil sump upto the ‘Top’ mark of the
dipstick. For oil filling quantity see 2.4.4.
d) Readjust the V-belt tension after checking the condition of V-belt (s), replace, if
necessary (see 5.5).
