SHEET 8DK-32C Cautions When Operating Engine
1
1. Cautions When Operating Engine
(1) When Starting
1) Check the quantities of oil, water and air in the tanks, open and close relevant valves, and make preparations for
starting. Make sure that the engine starting conditions are met.
2) Make sure that the turning device is in the released state.
3) Confirm that there are no persons around the engine. If someone is near the engine, give him a sign to ensure his
safety before starting the engine.
(2) During Operation
1) After starting the engine, check the following points to ensure that the engine is in the normal running state. If
any abnormality is found, stop the engine, investigate the cause, and take measures.
• Check that the engine data on the lubricating oil pressure, exhaust temperature, etc. are normal.
• Check for abnormal noise and abnormal heat generation.
• Check for leakage from the piping system. Leakage from the oil pipe system can cause a fire.
Never restart the engine until the cause of any abnormality or trouble is revealed, measures are taken and the
engine is recovered.
2) If your body or any article touches a rotating part, e.g. the flywheel and coupling, your body may catch in the part,
or the article may break into pieces, and serious accidents may occur. Never touch any rotating part.
Before starting the engine, fit the protective covers to the rotating parts.
3) While the engine is running, particularly the following parts are hot. If your bare hand or bare skin touches them,
it can be burnt. When maintaining and inspecting them, wear protective means, such as safety gloves.
After the completion of the work, restore the lagging, heat covers, combustible oil splash preventive means and
protection covers that have been removed for maintenance and servicing. Then, start the engine.
• Exhaust pipe
• Turbocharger
• Air cooler inlet pipe
• Cylinder head
• Pressure indicator and safety valve
• Fuel injection pump and high-pressure pipe
• Fuel oil filter and fuel oil pipe (when heavy fuel oil is used)
(3) When Stopping
1) Before stopping the engine, remove loads from the engine except in case of emergency.
2) When the emergency stop mechanism functions, never restart the engine until the cause of emergency stop is
revealed, measures are taken and the engine is completely recovered.
3) Do not open the inspection window cover on the engine frame for at least 10 minutes after the engine is stopped
until the engine cools down sufficiently. The combustible mist gas in the engine frame may catch fire and
explode.
4) The engine is kept at high temperatures after it is stopped as well as while it is running, and it can cause burns.
When inspecting and maintaining the engine, wear protective means.

(2) Starting Prearrangements for Other Than Routine
Operation
After following steps 1) to 11) above, further check
the following.
1) Open the inspection window cover on the engine
frame, and check that tools, waste cloth or other
foreign matter, such as desiccant, are not left in the
engine, and that the cylinder liner and crank shaft has
not rusted.
When the engine has been stopped for a long time, the
engine parts have run out of oil. Particularly, the
cylinder liner cannot be fully lubricated only by
normal priming. Apply oil to the cylinder liner in
the following manner.
i) Turn the engine, and move the piston upward.
Apply lubricating oil to the lower part of the
cylinder liner with a sprayer.
ii) Apply lubricating oil to other cylinders in the
same manner.
Silica gel (There
must be no
foreign matter,
such as desiccant.)

2) Fill the expansion tank with fresh water
3) Make sure that there are no loose parts.
4) Check to see that the fuel pump rack and each part in
the link mechanism can move smoothly.
Check also to see that the rack scale returns to zero
when the control lever is at the STOP position.
Further apply oil manually to the sections around the
link and common rod bearings.
5) Check that the line heater for the fuel oil supply
system is working normally.
6) If the valve driving system has been overhauled,
check for correct valve end clearance.
7) Clean the pre-filter at the air-inlet for the turbocharger
blower.
8) Opening and cleaning filters
The filters for fuel oil, lubricating oil, rocker arm
lubricating oil and nozzle cooling oil remove dust and
foreign matter that have entered during transportation
and machinery fitting. Therefore, disassemble and
clean them before operating the engine. As for the
procedures for disassembling and cleaning them, refer
to Section 10, Sheet 1.
9) Fuel oil priming and air bleeding
The heavy fuel oil is heated and hot (100℃ or
more). Touching the splashing oil can scald
your hands. If the splashing oil touches a
high-temperature part, a fire may occur. When
discharging air, take care not to splash the oil.
① Open fuel oil line valves. (In oil feed pump
attached to engine, also open check valve at oil
feel pump cover.)
② Loosen the fuel filter air vent plug to purge air.
③ Open injection pump air vent plug to purge air.
④ Set governor operation lever to RUN.
⑤ Plug a wrench into the priming shaft at the pump
mount side surface.
⑥ With fuel oil rack inserted manually, operate
priming handle until resistance is felt. If no
resistance is felt, purge air from injection pump
again.
⑦ Turn engine and prime all cylinders.
⑧ With governor operation lever at STOP, prime and
check that no resistance is felt (fuel oil is shut off).

Operating Procedure and Daily Maintenance
Maintenance and Inspection
(3) Maintenance
1) Cleaning Filters
The various filters should be opened and cleaned
periodically to keep them clean at all times. For
detail of the cleaning procedures, refer to Section 19,
Sheets 1 - 5.
① Fuel filter and lubricating oil filter
Normally, one side of each gauze wire duplex
filter is used. During operation, the handle
should be kept on the left or right side, and the
handle knock pin should be in position.
When cleaning the filter, remove the element not
in use on the other side.
When heavy fuel oil is used, the fuel oil is heated,
and the filter and piping are heated to high
temperatures. When handling the filter, wear
safety gloves, and take care not to splash the
high-temperature oil on your skin or clothes. If
fuel oil or lubricating oil spatters a
high-temperature part, a fire may occur. Take
utmost care when handling the filter.
② Rocker arm lubricating oil filter and nozzle
cooling oil filter
These filters consist of laminated metallic sheets.
Particularly, rocker arm lubricating oil is soiled
heavily. Turn the filter handle frequently.
Otherwise, the soil may stick to the filter.
③ Turbocharger lubricating oil filter
The notch wire duplex filter is normally used with
both elements set in parallel.
As the filter is contaminated, the pressure
becomes lower. Periodically clean the filter by
blowing off. If blow-off cleaning cannot recover
the pressure, overhaul and clean the filter.
<Blow-off cleaning>
The blow-off cleaning is performed to discharge
deposit by flowing a fluid back to the element on a
side. This cleaning method is not effective after the
elements are heavily clogged. Perform the cleaning
early when the elements are not so contaminated.
(Clean the filter at least once a week.)
SECTION
TYPE 5
8DK-32C SHEET
14
2) Cleaning Turbocharger
When the turbocharger is contaminated, the intake air
pressure decreases, the exhaust temperature rises, and
the exhaust blackens. Then, the engine performance
and service life are significantly affected. Periodi-
cally clean the turbocharger in accordance with the
instruction manual for the turbocharger.
As for the procedure for cleaning by feeding water to
the blower side, refer to Section 10, Sheet 6.
3) Protective Devices
For each of the protective devices provided, refer to
individual manuals.
① Should any alarm be actuated during operation, stop
engine immediately and investigate the cause.
Close contact should be maintained with the
personnel working on the decks so that appropriate
actions may be taken in case of an alarm, to prevent
accidents in the incipient stage.
② Each of the protective devices shall be functional-
ly tested at least once a month to ensure that each
functions satisfactorily, actuating the alarm
whenever an alarm condition is reached.
Prior to conducting decreased pressure tests, be
sure to throttle the pressure switch takeoff valve
to reduce the pressure. The pressure reduction
in this case takes place only in the pressure
switch circuit. Therefore, such testing may be
conducted while the engine is run under normal
operating condition.
The temperature switch can be functionally tested
utilizing the separate hot water line.
(4) Maintenance and Inspection
In order that leakage through joints, cracks or other
defects can be detected at an early stage, the engine
should be maintained in a clean state at all times.
1) Daily Inspection/Maintenance
① Quantity of fuel oil in the fuel oil tank
② Quantity of oil in the oil pan
③ Quantity of oil in the rocker arm lubricating oil tank
④ Quantity of cooling water in the fresh water tank
⑤ Starting air pressure
⑥ Draining of condensate collected in air intake piping
⑦ Draining of filters (Auto-clean type filters should be
drained while the engine is in the stopped state.)
⑧ Cleaning of auto-clean type filter by turning handle
⑨ Check of the rotating condition of valve rotator
and of the lubricating condition inside head cover

SHEET 8DK-32C Cautions for Disassembly, Maintenance and Reassembly, and Checks
3
(3) Cautions for Disassembly, Maintenance and Reassembly
1) Prepare replacement parts, tools and measuring instruments in advance. Use specified tools. As replacement
parts, use our genuine or specified parts.
2) Washers, packing, O-rings, split pins and wire rings must be replaced with new ones every time the engine is
disassembled. Prepare such parts in advance according to the scope of disassembly.
3) After disassembling, cover openings with tape or clean cloth to prevent entry of foreign substances.
When restoring the engine, remove these covers without fail.
4) Keep the disassembled parts in order to prevent damage or loss of the parts and improve the efficiency of
reassembly.
5) Parts stamped with mounting positions, such as cylinder numbers and bearing numbers, or notch marks, should be
mounted in their original positions. When replacing any of these parts, stamp the part with the same mark as that
on the removed part.
6) For high-temperature parts, such as the exhaust pipe, bolts and nuts made of heat-resistant materials are used.
When reassembling, take care not to confuse them with general bolts and nuts.
7) Tighten major bolts and nuts uniformly to the specified torque (or specified hydraulic pressure).
If it is necessary to apply an agent, such as a lubricant, for tightening, never use any agent other than the specified
one.
8) When maintaining, measure the parts to be measured, and keep the data on the measurements in order as reference
data for the future.
9) The protective covers and heat insulating covers that have been removed should be returned to their original
positions.
10) After using spare parts, fill up the shortage as soon as possible.
(4) Checks After Disassembly, Maintenance and Reassembly
1) Check that all bolts and nuts are not loose and are provided with specified stop rings. Check carefully the parts
in the engine that cannot be checked visually while the engine is running.
2) Turn the engine, and prime it with fluids. Check that moving parts do not interfere with one another, no leak
occurs and no parts are clogged.
3) After the completion of the work, make sure that the turning device is in the released state.
4) Record the performed operations and replaced parts in the engine log.
