Foreword
1 Preface
1.1 Information on the operating instructions

These Operating Instructions provide important information on dealing with engines. Prerequisite for safe
operation is the compliance with all safety and handling instructions.
Furthermore, the local accident prevention regulations valid for the engine's area of application and the
general safety regulations must be observed.
Timely and proper maintenance and care of the engines according to the set maintenance intervals ensure
and maintain the operational safety and the reliable application of these engines.
Only use original MAN spare parts and replacements, or such that have been approved by MAN. Only ori
ginal spare parts that have been approved by us have also been checked by us and therefore meet the
correct requirements for use in the engine.
A particular concern of MAN is to improve environmental protection. This begins with the development and
design of our engines. We make sure that no environmentally hazardous materials are used and, for ex
ample, that the emissions fulfil the highest requirements.
Economical operation helps to conserve our resources and our environment.
1.1.1 Publications that are part of these operating instructions

The following publications are part of the operating instructions:
- Fluids and lubricants for MAN diesel engines
- Maintenance instructions
All three publications are considered "parts of the product" and should always be kept in the immediate vi
cinity of the engine for the personnel.
Carefully read the Operating Instructions before starting any work! This is especially valid for the chapter on
General Safety Instructions and the safety instructions in each of the chapters.
Non-adherence to this operating instruction and, if included, supplier operating instructions, renders claims
under the warranty null and void.

Design and Function
4 Design and function
4.1 Engine in general

The 10 and 12 cylinder engines described here are liquid-cooled 4-stroke diesel engines with turbocharging
and intercooling.
Engine Monitoring
Monitoring of the engine is made through various sensors. The sensors are designed, for example, as rpm
and temperature sensors, which report the various operating conditions of the engine to the engine control
unit. The engine control unit operates according to the EVA principle:
E = Eingang (Input)
V = Verarbeitung (Processing)
A = Ausgang (Output)
The engine control units process the information received from the sensors and control the output signals
which are sent to the actuators. The actuators convert the signals into mechanical factors.
Engine Lubrication
Force feed lubrication using two lubrication oil pumps for crankshaft, conrod and camshaft bearings as well
as piston pin sockets, roller plunger and rocker arm.
Oil filtering through a filter module with integrated oil cooler and crankcase ventilation in the main flow. Aux
iliary equipment, such as series high pressure pumps, turbochargers and power take-offs are connected to
the engine lubrication oil circuit.
Cooling System
The cooling circuit takes the form of a thermostat-regulated forced circulation cooling system. The mainten
ance-free coolant pump is installed on the front in the lid and is driven by an uncoupled gear set. The ther
mostats are fitted at the top in the split thermostat housing. The thermostats are comprised of a replace
able insert with an expansible-material element.
Intake and Exhaust System

The liquid-cooled exhaust pipes are attached to the cylinder head. From the high pressure stage the ex
haust gases pass to the exhaust gas turbocharger.
Control of the waste-gate valves takes place directly via the charge pressure. Lubrication of the exhaust
gas turbocharger takes place via the main engine oil circuit to the oil pressure connection on the turbochar
gers.
The intake air is routed through the air filter to the turbochargers. The pre-compressed charge air is then
routed to the engine.
Fuel System, General

The fuel system is divided into a low-pressure and a high-pressure system.
The fuel lines, manual pump and the fuel filters are all part of the low-pressure system.
The interface to the high pressure system is provided by the fuel delivery pumps flange-mounted on the
high pressure in-line pump.
The high pressure system consists of the high pressure in-line pump, which is supplied from the flange-
mounted supply pumps, the high pressure lines and the injection nozzles.

Ground Rules
WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by improper work.
Improper work can case serious injuries or considerable property damage.
For this reason:
S Perform all work steps in accordance with the instructions in these Operating Instructions.

10.3 Temporary engine shutdown

Temporary anticorrosion protection according to MAN works norm M 3069 is required for engines which are
to be put out of service depending on the duration.
The works norm can be obtained from our After-Sales Service department Nuremberg works.
NOTE!
A proper and careful recommissioning of new or operated engines has a great impact on
the operating safety and remaining life of the engines.
In general the goal is to preserve the decommissioned engines or new engines (after the
factory tests).
If the engine was not preserved before decommissioning, there is a risk that the cylinder
liners, piston rings and valves will corrode, especially when the intake and exhaust opening
are not closed off or when the engine is stored in the open.
Foreign matter, rain water and similar conditions require a complete disassembly of the en
gine.

10.4 Recommissioning of shutdown engines
10.4.1 Commissioning of preserved engines compliant to MAN works norm

M 3059
1. Remove external preservation. Never use a high pressure cleaner for this.
2. Remove caps from intake and exhaust openings.
3. Check cooling system; add antifreeze according to the Fluids and Lubricants list (see “Fluids and Lubric
ants ..."); check concentration and correct.
4. Check engine oil level and add fresh approved engine oil if necessary.
5. Fill with fuel, vent system.
Check the function of the monitoring and emergency shut down device.
6. Check condition and proper installation of elastic fasteners, such as V-belts, coolant hoses and charge
air hoses. Retighten if necessary.
7. Turn the engine over with the starter without filling, until the oil pressure rises, in so doing actuate the
starter for a maximum of 5 seconds.
8. Carry out filling and start the engine, after the 'self-running' do not operate the engine at the lower idling
speed, in order to avoid incorrect lubrication of the cylinder liners.
9. Check engine for leaks, unusual noises and observe the oil pressure and all temperatures. Increase en
gine speed in steps.
10.After a max. of 25 operating hours, drain preservation oil from engine and change oil filter; fill engine
with fresh approve engine oil.
10.4.2 Commissioning of non-conserved engines

In addition to the work steps for a preserved engine, the commissioning of a non-preserved engine requires
the following extra work depending on the possible damage due to non use.
1. Endoscopic examination of the combustion chambers, with removal and replacement of the injectors.
Check valves for free movement, check valve play, adjust if necessary.
Replace damaged/corroded parts.
2. Drain old oil from engine and change oil filter. Fill engine with fresh approved engine oil.
3. Check cooling system for corrosion; check coolant for proper concentration; if in doubt, change coolant.
Before adding new coolant , clean coolant chambers and remove/install coolant pump and thermostat if
necessary; replace the slide ring seal of the coolant pump and thermostat elements; pressure test cool
ing system.
4. Check clean air system, air filter and turbocharger for dirt and corrosion. Clean or repair if necessary.
5. Clean fuel system, drain off old fuel if necessary. Clean filter / examine / replace as applicable.
