Safety precautions
General
For safe and reliable operation of the engine it is very important that these safety precautions, and those
Warnings and Cautions given throughout this manual, are observed, and where necessary the special tools
indicated are used.
All safety precautions should be read and understood before operating or servicing the engine.
Improper operation or maintenance procedures are dangerous and could result in accidents, injury or death.
The operator should check before beginning an operation that all the basic safety precautions have been
carried out to prevent accidents occurring.
You must also refer to the local regulations in the country of use.
Note: Some items only apply to specific applications.
Guards
z Ensure that guards are fitted over exposed rotating parts, hot surfaces, air intakes, belts or live electrical
terminals (high and low tension).
Protection equipment
z Ensure that correct protection equipment is worn at all times.
z Always wear protective gloves when using inhibitors or anti-freeze, removing the pressure cap from the
radiator or heat exchanger filler, changing the lubricating oil/filter or changing the electrolyte in the battery.
z Always wear ear protection when working in an enclosed engine room.
z Always wear suitable eye protection when using an air pressure line.
z Always wear protective boots when working on the engine.
z Always wear protective headgear when working on or underneath the engine.
Naked flames
z Ensure that no smoking or naked flames are lit when checking battery electrolyte, working in the engine
room or when operating or servicing the engine.
Fuel/oil pipes
z Ensure that all pipes are regularly checked for leaks.
z Ensure that all pipes and the surrounding area are regularly checked for spilt oil (and cleaned up where
necessary).
z Always apply suitable barrier cream to hands before any work is carried out.
Gas pipes
z Always check for gas/air mixture leaks.
z Ensure that the gas line and valves meet local safety standards.
z Ensure that the gas line pressure is correct.

z Check that all the guards are fitted.
z Check that the pipework allows the exhaust gas to escape upwards.
z Check that the pipework is supported.
Stopping the engine
1 Disengage the engine load.
2 Run the engine on NO LOAD for 5 to 7 minutes before stopping.
Note: This will allow the circulating lubricating oil to dissipate heat from the bearings, pistons, etc. It will also
allow the turbochargers, which run at a very high speed, to slow down while there is still oil flow through the
bearings.
Ensure that the engine is stopped before performing any of the following operations:
z Changing the lubricating oil.
z Filling or topping up the cooling system.
z Beginning any repair work on the engine.
z Adjusting belts (where fitted).
z Adjusting bridge pieces / valve clearance.

Flammable fluids
z Ensure that these are never stored near the engine.
z Ensure that they are never used near a naked light.
Clothing
z Do not wear loose clothing, ties, jewellery, etc.
z Always wear steel toe cap shoes/boots.
z Always wear the correct head, eye and ear protection.
z Always wear suitable overalls.
z Always replace a spillage contaminated overall immediately.
Lifting heavy components
z Always use the correct lifting equipment.
z Never work alone.
z Always wear a helmet, if the weight is above head height.
De-scaling solution

z Always wear overalls and correct footwear.
Waste disposal
z Do not leave oil covered cloths on or near the engine.
z Do not leave loose items on or near the engine.
z Always provide a fireproof container for oil contaminated cloths.
Note: Most accidents are caused by failure to observe basic safety precautions and can be prevented by
recognising potentially dangerous situations before an accident occurs. While there are many potential
hazards that can occur during the operation of the engine which cannot be always be anticipated, and thus a
warning cannot be included to cover every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard, by
following these basic principles the danger can be minimised.

Dangers from used engine oils
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result in the removal of natural oils from the skin, leading
to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. The oil also contains potentially harmful contaminants which may result in
skin cancer.
Adequate means of skin protection and washing facilities should be readily available.
The following is a list of 'Health Protection Precautions', suggested to minimise the risk of contamination.
1 Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oils.
2 Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where necessary.
3 Do not put oily rags into pockets.
4 Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly underwear, with oil.
5 Overalls must be cleaned regularly. Discard unwashable clothing and oil impregnated footwear.
6 First aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open cuts and wounds.
7 Apply barrier creams before each period of work to aid the removal of mineral oil from the skin.
8 Wash with soap and hot water, or alternatively use a skin cleanser and a nail brush, to ensure that all oil is
removed from the skin. Preparations containing lanolin will help replace the natural skin oils which have been
removed.
9 Do NOT use petrol, kerosene, diesel fuel, thinners or solvents for washing the skin.
10 If skin disorder appears, medical advice must be taken.
11 Degrease components before handling if practicable.
12 Where there is the possibility of a risk to the eyes, goggles or a face shield should be worn. An eye wash
facility should be readily available.

Environmental protection
There is legislation to protect the environment from the incorrect disposal of used lubricating oil. To ensure that
the environment is protected, consult your Local Authority who can give advice.

Danger from ‘fluorosilicone’ (Viton) ‘O’ ring seals


All of the engines ‘O’ ring seals are made from fluorosilicone material.
It is a safe material under normal conditions of operation, but if it is burned the extremely dangerous
hydroflouric acid is produced.
If it is necessary to come into contact with components which have been burnt, follow the precautions below:
z Allow the components to cool.
z Use Neoprene gloves and a face mask.
z Wash the contaminated area with a calcium hydroxide solution and then with clean water.
z Disposal of gloves and components which are contaminated must be in accordance with local regulations.
Caution: If there is contamination of the skin or eyes, wash the affected area with a continuous supply of clean
water. Obtain immediate medical attention.

Practical information for cleaning components
Use suitable gloves for protection when components are degreased.
Keep the work area clean and ensure that components are protected from dirt and debris. Ensure that dirt does
not contaminate the fuel system.
Before a component is removed from the engine, clean around the component and ensure that all openings,
disconnected hoses and pipes are sealed.
Remove, clean and inspect each component carefully. If it useable, put it in a clean dry place until needed. Ball
and roller bearings must be cleaned thoroughly and inspected. If the bearings are usable, they must be flushed
in low viscosity oil and protected with clean paper until needed.
Before the components are assembled, ensure that the area is free from dust and dirt as possible. Inspect each
component immediately before it is fitted, wash all pipes and ports, and pass dry compressed air through them
before connections are made.

Gas system 11

General description
Gas from the regulator mixes with air from the filter in the mixing body before entering the turbocharger, charge
cooler and inlet manifold.
The gas flow to the mixer body is determined by the variation in the combustion air flow supply (depending on
the engine load). Gas is fed into the mixer body proportional to the air flow. This ratio is maintained throughout
the load range by a balance line from the mixer body to the regulator.
The air/gas ratio is adjusted by the mixture setting screw. The flow of the air/gas mixture through the mixer

Cooling system 12

General description
For CHP or radiator cooling the system is pressurised. The pressure is regulated by a valve system in the filler
cap. The rubber faced spring loaded valve (A1) opens when pressure in the cooling system exceeds 0,5 to 0,7
bar, allowing coolant and air to be vented through the overflow pipe (A2).
To prevent a vacuum forming in the system as the engine cools or water level falls, the valve (A3) will open.
Note: If the rubber face of the valve (A1) is worn or damaged the filler cap must be replaced.
Warning! Do not remove the filler cap while the engine is hot.

detergent and hot water jet.
Warning! Personal protective equipment must be worn when using compressed air.
3 If the recommended coolants have been used, refer to page 55 in the User’s Handbook, there should be no
limescale build up in the water tubes.
Note: If there is a limescale build up it is advisable to fit a new radiator, as in most circumstances it would be
impractical to use a descaling agent.

Electrical system 14

General description
The 6 and 8 cylinder gas engines use the Altronic DISN 800 C Series ignition system. The system operates
on a 24 V dc power supply. Its DISN unit steps up the dc supply voltage to charge an energy storage capacitor
with microcircuit logic, and S.C.R. switching to release the stored energy to the ignition coils in a timed
sequence.
The spark timing is provided by magnets set in the camshaft drive gear, and sensed by a pick-up sensor fitted
in the front of the gearcase. The magnets signal the position of the crankshaft to the logic circuit in the DISN
unit and an additional magnet trails a few degrees after the last firing magnet. The DISN unit recognises this
as the index signal that another revolution is to begin.

Engine overspeed protection unit (if fitted)
The overspeed switch monitors and provides control switching outputs for engine cranking termination, fuel
enrichment and overspeed protection.
The input signal to the speed monitor unit is derived from a magnetic pick-up located close to the teeth on the
flywheel gear ring.
The unit can be calibrated so that the rotational speed may be compared with three pre-set levels, representing
the crank termination speed (START), the fuel enrichment speed and the overspeed limit.
When the speed detected exceeds any of these pre-set values, a corresponding switch is energised and a
change-over relay at the output terminal will change state.
Front panel indicator lights are illuminated if the impedance of the connection to the magnetic transducer has
fallen below 40 ohms or has exceeded 1200 ohms. This will in turn operate the ‘OVERSPEED’ relay.
‘START’ indicates that the cranking termination speed set at 600 rev/min has been reached, and that the
change-over relay at terminals 12, 13 and 14 has changed state. The load output relay at terminals 15, 16 and
17 is used to energise a fuel enrichment solenoid at 400 rev/min. This fuel enrichment solenoid is then de-
energised by a thermostat when the engine reaches 70 °C water temperature.
‘OVERSPEED’ indicates that the maximum desirable speed has been exceeded and that the relay at terminals
18, 19 and 20 has changed state. This relay can be connected to operate an engine shutdown if required. For
rev/min or frequency indication, an output is available to allow use of a 1 mA meter to be calibrated as required.

To assist starting under cold climatic conditions, the engines coolant is maintained at running temperature by
2 kw immersion heater.
The immersion heater is controlled by a thermostat when the water temperature has reached 37,8 °C (100 °F),
it automatically cuts off the electrical supply to the heater.
When the temperature of the jacket water drops to 26,7 °C (80 °F), the immersion heater is automatically
switched on again.
Note: Power supply to the immersion heater must be isolated when the engine is running.
