NOTES TO USERS

This manual describes the starting and running, routine


servi~ing and fault diagnosis procedures for the Rolls-Royce
range of four-, six- and eight-cylinder diesel engines, with the
exception of marine applications.
Additional information, solely concerning marine engines, is
printed separately as an Appendix which, where necessary, can
be incorparated at the back of the manual.
Engine design and service techniques are constantly under
review, and when such development results in a change in ser-
vicing or operating procedures the necessary information, in
the form of Service Bulletins and Service lnstructions, is
circulated to Rolls-Royce DeaIers far distribution to customers.
Upon receipt, a note should be inserted in the appropriate
section of the manual to ensure that future servicing follows
the latest procedures.
The Service Department of Rolls-Royce Oil Engine Division
is always prepared to give advice and assistance on ali operating
and servicing problems. Enquiries should include the engine
serial number, mo dei, and units of operation, as recorded by
the Engine Service Counter (E.S.C.).
ln addition, enquiries regarding fuel injection equipment
should quote full particulars as shown on the data plates
attached to the injection pump, governar and feed pump(s).

1. DIESEL FUEL
A wholly distillate fuel having a sulphur contcot not exceeding 1%1' by weight ap.d a
minirnl:lm Cetane Number of 45. The following specifications cover this recommendatfon:
(i) British Standards Institution: B.S.2869: 1961, Class AI or A2;,
(ii) ASTM Diesel FueI Classification: D.975, No. l-D ôr No. 2-0.

The choice betwecn A I ar 1-D and A2 or 2-D fueI will depend 00 engine load cycle and
cllmatic conditions. No. 1 fuels are for engines subject to frequent speed and load changes;
No. 2 fueIs are for stationary or heavy mobile engines.

FueIs to specifications not meeting (i) or (ü) above should not be used before discussion
with Rolls-Royce.

2, LUBRlCATING OIL
(i) Grades of lubricating oH
A 'straight' mineral oi! must NOT be used. The following gra,des of heavy duty oil are
approved and operators should ensure that the oH does' io fact roeet the reIev~ni
specification. Only oils having an oHicial certificate of performance for the following
specifications are acceptable under the Rolls-Royce Guarantee.
Grade (a)
British Standards Institutioo B.S.I905: 1965, Type A.

requirements of 'Superior Lubricants'; or

(ii) Vi,eo,i.y
Ambient temperatures above -7 deg. C (20"deg. F) - SAE 30.
Ambient temperatures below -7 deg. C (20 deg. F) - SAE lOW.
To suit ao operator's requirements ao SAE 20 oil may be used in cli'mates wheTp. the
ambient temperature is always between -12 deg. C and 32 deg. C (lO deg. F and
90 deg. F).
Multigrade oils are NOT approved.
(iii) Selection of lubricating oU
Selection should be made from the following table, in conjunction with the information
given in sub-para. (i), 'Grades of lubricating oil'.
If the sulphur content of the fuel is in doubt, or i( the engine duty is arduous, use the
next higher grade of lubricating oil. Ir grade (d) oil is already in use it may be
necessary to change the oH more frequent1y. *,
Op,erators should consult their oH suppliers or Rolls-Royce Motors Limited li in
doubt concerning the ability of an oil to withstand op~ratihg conditions.
