Safety regulations
General notes
This summary is a compilation of the most important regulations. These are broken down into main
sections which contain the information necessary for preventing injury to persons, damage to property and
pollution. In addition to these regulations those dictated by the type of engine and its site are to be
observed also.
Important:
If, despite all precautions, an accident occurs, in particular through contact with caustic acids, fuel
penetrating the skin, scalding from hot oil, anti‐freeze being splashed in the eyes etc., consult a doctor
immediately.
1. Regulations designed to prevent accidents with injury to persons
During commissioning, starting and operation
D Before putting the engine into operation for the first time, read the operating instructions
carefully and familiarize yourself with the “critical" points. If you are unsure, ask your
MAN representative.
D For reasons of safety we recommend you attach a notice to the door of the engine
room prohibiting the access of unauthorized persons and that you draw the attention of
the operating personal to the fact that they are responsible for the safety of persons
who enter the engine room.
D The engine must be started and operated only by authorized personnel.

Ensure that the engine cannot be started by unauthorized persons.
D When the engine is running, do not get too close to the rotating parts. Wear close‐fitting
clothing.
D Do not touch the engine with bare hands when it is warm from operation − risk of burns.
ËË
D Exhaust gases are toxic. Comply with the instructions for the installation of MAN Diesel
ËË
engines which are to be operated in enclosed spaces. Ensure that there is adequate
ventilation and air extraction.
3
Safety regulations
D For safety reasons a separate, functioning red emergency‐stop‐button for each

engine must be installed at every bridge (the engine must stop immediately when
the button is pressed once).
D Electrical accessories and equipment from other manufactures may only be
connected without the approval of MAN to the connections provided for the cu-
stomer or shipyard.
The control of the engine may be adversely affected and thus may lead to property
damage or personal injury and is therefore not permitted.
MAN assumes no liability for any property damage or personal injury.
Connections to the following MAN components are prohibited:
− EDC engine control unit (K−Line, CAN−Bus)
− MAN internal or external throttle lever control system (CAN−Bus)
− Emergency steering control (serial, CAN−Bus)
− Display systems for alarms (serial, CAN−Bus)
Approved connectors on terminal box: X4, X8 and X9.
D Keep vicinity of engine, ladders and stairways free of oil and grease.
Accidents caused by slipping can have serious consequences.
During maintenance and care
D Always carry out maintenance work when the engine is switched off.
If the engine has to be maintained while it is running, e.g. changing the elements of
change‐over filters, remember that there is a risk of scalding. Do not get too close to
rotating parts.
D Change the oil when the engines is warm from operation.
ËË
Caution:
ËË
There is a risk of burns and scalding. Do not touch oil drain plugs or oil filters with bare
hands.
D Take into account the amount of oil in the sump. Use a vessel of sufficient size to
ensure that the oil will not overflow.
D Open the coolant circuit only when the engine has cooled down.
If opening while the engine is still warm is unavoidable, comply with the instructions in
the chapter entitled “Maintenance and Care".
D Neither tighten up nor open pipes and hoses (lube oil circuit, coolant circuit and any
additional hydraulic oil circuit) during the operation.
The fluids which flow out can cause injury.
D Fuel is inflammable. Do not smoke or use naked lights in its vicinity. The tank must be
filled only when the engine is switched off.
D Keep service products (anti‐freeze) only in containers which can not be confused with
drinks containers.
D Comply with the manufacturer’s instructions when handling batteries.

Caution:
Accumulator acid is toxic and caustic. Battery gases are explosive.

Safety regulations
2. Regulations designed to prevent damage to engine and premature wear
Do not demand more from the engine than it is able to supply in its intended application. Detailed
information on this can be found in the sales literature.
If faults occur, find the cause immediately and have it eliminated in order to prevent more serious damage.
Use only genuine MAN spare parts. MAN will accept no responsibility for damage resulting from the
installation of other parts which are supposedly “just as good".
In addition to the above, note the following points:
D Never let the engine run when dry, i.e. without lube oil or coolant.
D When starting do not use any additional starting aids (e.g. injection with starting pilot).
D Use only MAN‐approved service products (fuel, engine oil, anti‐freeze and anti‐corrosion agent). Pay
attention to cleanliness. The Diesel fuel must be free of water. See “Fuels, Lubricants and Coolants ...".
D Have the engine maintained at the specified intervals.
D Today modern components of diesel injection consist of high‐precision parts which are exposed to
extreme stresses. The high‐precision technology requires the utmost cleanliness during all work on
the fuel system.
Even a particle of dirt over 0,2 mm can lead to the failure of components.
D Do not switch off the engine immediately when it is warm, but let it run without load for about 5 minutes
so that temperature equalization can take place.
D Never put cold coolant into an overheated engine. See “Maintenance and care".
D Do not add so much engine oil that the oil level rises above the max. marking on the dipstick.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible tilt of the engine.
Serious damage to the engine may result if these instructions are not adhered to.
D Always ensure that the testing and monitoring equipment (for battery charge, oil pressure, coolant
temperature) function satisfactorily.
D It is advisable to switch off the engine if an alarm of any kind is displayed in the engine monitoring and
diagnostic system. If this is not possible for any reason, the engine should be run no faster than
1200 rpm until the fault is remedied, see Operating Instructions.
D Comply with instructions for operation of the alternator. See “Operating Instructions".
D Do not let the seawater pump run dry. If there is a risk of frost, drain the pump when the engine is
switched off.

Safety regulations
3. Regulations designed to prevent pollution
Engine oil and filter elements / cartridges, fuel / fuel filter

D Take old oil only to an old oil collection point.
D Take strict precautions to ensure that no oil or Diesel fuel gets into the drains or the ground.
Caution:
The drinking water supply could be contaminated.
D Filter elements are classed as dangerous waste and must be treated as such.
Coolant
D Treat undiluted anti‐corrosion agent and / or anti‐freeze as dangerous waste.
D When disposing of spent coolant comply with the regulations of the relevant local authorities.
4. Notes on safety in handling used engine oil ∗
Prolonged or repeated contact between the skin and any kind of engine oil decreases the skin. Drying,
irritation or inflammation of the skin may therefore occur. Used engine oil also contains dangerous
substances which have caused skin cancer in animal experiments. If the basic rules of hygiene and health
and safety at work are observed, health risks are not to the expected as a result of handling used engine
oil.
Health precautions:
D Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact with used engine oil.
D Protect your skin by means of suitable agents (creams etc.) or wear protective gloves.
D Clean skin which has been in contact with engine oil.
− Wash thoroughly with soap and water. A nailbrush is an effective aid.
− Certain products make it easier to clean your hands.
− Do not use petrol, Diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or solvents as washing agents.
D After washing apply a fatty skin cream to the skin.
D Change oil‐soaked clothing and shoes.
D Do not put oily rags into your pockets.
Ensure that used engine oil is disposed of properly
− Engine oil can endanger the water supply −
For this reason do not let engine oil get into the ground, waterways, the drains or the sewers. Violations are
punishable.
Collect and dispose of used engine oil carefully. For information on collection points please contact the
seller, the supplier or the local authorities.

Safety regulations
5. Special instructions when working on the common rail system
Accident protection
D Risk of injury!
Fuel jets can cut through skin.
The atomisation of fuel creates a fire risk.
− When the engine is running never loosen the screw connections on the fuel’s
high‐pressure side of the common rail system (injection line from the high‐pressure
pump to the rail, on the rail and on the cylinder head to the injector)
− Keep away from the engine when it is running
D Risk of injury!
When the engine is running the lines are constantly under a fuel pressure of up
to 1600 bar.
− Wait at least a minute until the pressure in the rail has dropped before loosening a
screw connection
− If necessary check the pressure drop in the rail with MAN‐Cats
D Risk of injury!
− People with pacemaker must keep at least 20 cm away from the running engine.
− Do not touch live parts on the electric connection of the injectors when the engine is
running.

Safety regulations
Cleanliness
Today modern components of diesel injection consist of high‐precision parts which are exposed to extreme
stresses. The high‐precision technology requires the utmost cleanliness during all work on the fuel
system.
Even a particle of dirt over 0,2 mm can lead to the failure of components.
The measures described as follows are therefore essential before work begins:
Risk of damage from penetration of dirt!
D Before working on the clean side of the fuel system clean the engine and the engine
compartment. During cleaning the fuel system must be closed.
D Carry out visual inspection for any leakage or damage to the fuel system
D Do not spray the high‐pressure cleaner direct onto the electric components, or
alternatively keep them covered
D Do not carry out any welding or sanding work in the engine compartment during
maintenance / repair
D Avoid air movements (any swirling of dust when starting engines)
D The area of the still closed fuel system must be cleaned and dried with the aid of
compressed air
D Remove detached particles of dirt such as paint chippings and insulation material with a
suitable extractor (industrial type vacuum cleaner)
D Cover areas of the engine compartment from which dust particles could be detached
with clean foil
D Wash your hands and put on clean work clothes before starting the disassembly work
When carrying out the work it is essential to comply with the following measures:
8
Safety regulations
Risk of damage from penetration of dirt!
D When the clean side of the fuel system has been opened it is not permissible to use
compressed air for cleaning
D During assembly work loose dirt must be removed with the aid of suitable extractors
(industrial type vacuum cleaners)
D Use only fluff‐free cleaning cloths on the fuel system
D Clean tools and working materials before starting to work
D Only tools without any damage may be used (cracked chrome coatings)
D When removing and installing components do not use materials such as cloths,
cardboard or wood since these could shed particles and fine fibres
D If any paint chips/flakes off when connections are loosened (from possible over‐coating)
these chippings must be carefully removed before finally loosening the screw
connection
D The connection openings of all parts removed from the clean side of the fuel system
must be immediately closed up with suitable caps/stoppers
D These caps/stoppers must be packed protected from dust prior to use and after being
used once they must be disposed of
D Following this all the components must be carefully stored in a clean, closed container
D Never use used cleaning or testing liquids for these components
D New parts must not be removed from their original packing material until directly before
use
D Work on removed components may be carried out only at a workplace specially
equipped for it
D If removed parts are shipped always use the original packing material of the new part

Requirements of engine foundation

D The engine foundation in the ship must be designed to absorb propeller thrust in both directions and
transmit it to the hull.
D The weight of the drive line and all of the dynamic forces caused by rough seas must be safely
absorbed.
D Hull torsion caused by motion of the sea and load must not be transmitted to the engine. The contact
area between the engine foundation and the hull should be as large as possible.
D The engine foundation must run parallel with the lower edge of the engine base, so that the resilient
engine mounts are not tilted. Engines must not be mounted rigid to the foundation.

Engine mounting
Choosing suitable resilient mounts

The resilient mounts prevent the transfer of engine vibrations to the engine foundation and ship’s hull.
Due to the design of the engine with respect to:
− Total mass
− Centre of gravity of engine
− Distribution of forces to the engine bases
Several requirements have already been established for the design of the resilient engine mounts.
Depending on the arrangement of engine and gearbox (engine with flange mounted gearbox or a free−-
standing engine and gear box) and the alignment thereof, the following points are also to be taken into
account:
− Propeller force transferred to the engine foundation for engines with flange mounted gearboxes
− Easy height adjustment of the mounts
Due to these various requirements, the resilient mounts must be carefully adapted.
For this reason MAN has developed resilient mounts that are adapted in their design and their shore
hardness to the different types of drive lines.
The following pages gives the assignment of the different resilient mounts to the arrangement of the
engines and gearboxes and detailed information about the mounts.
The resilient mounts are included in the delivery depending on the order. The resilient mounts should
always be used. In no case should the engine be installed on the foundation without them.
Note:
The resilient engine mounts cannot compensate for vibrations caused by inadequate alignment of
the drive line or by vibrations from the propeller.

Engine room ventilation
Heating of the engine room

During operation, each engine transfers heat from its own hot surfaces into the air in the engine room
(convection), in a similar fashion to a radiator heating a room in a building. In addition, but to a much lesser
extent, radiated heat dissipates to the surroundings (radiant heat).
Both of these effects can heat up the engine room to such an extent, that temperature−sensitive
components (e.g. the electronics) can malfunction.
Temperature in the engine room
Caution:
The following equation provides a good rule of thumb for adequate engine room ventilation:
Engine room temperature = Ambient temperature + 15°C (max. 20°C)
Measured at the front and back of the engine room and at the air filters.
The max. permissible engine room temperature is 60_C.
The temperature in the engine room is essentially dependent on the following boundary conditions:
Outside air temperature

The outside air temperature depends on the climate in the area of operation of the ship and the prevailing
weather conditions. In the Mediterranean Sea area air temperatures of up to 40°C are to be expected and
in the Persian Golf up to 50°C can be reached.
Engine operating conditions

1) Maximum speed / cruising speed of the ship
Naturally, at full−load and high power outputs, the temperature of critical components (charge air pipes,
compressor housing, exhaust manifold) is at its highest and thus the heat output is at a maximum.
However, this effect is compensated by the high combustion air requirement of the engines and that of
the associated high rate of air exchange in the engine room.
Example: Two engines V12 − 1800 at 2300 rpm and full load with 2 x 6300 m3/h demand for combustion
air, corresponding to 3.5 m3/s. A typical engine room air volume of 50 m3 is thus replaced every 15
seconds. With adequately dimensioned air inlets and outlets the engine room temperature may not vary
significantly from that of the outside air.
2) Reduction of the maximum speed to crawling speed (e.g. to negotiate canals, waterways with speed
restrictions)
At low speeds and loads, the combustion air demand of the engines and thus the inflow of fresh air into
the engine room is very significantly reduced.
Example: Two engines V12 − 1800 with 2 x 750 m3/h combustion air requirement, corresponding to
0.20 m3/s at 1000 rpm and operation on the propellor curve.
The volume of air in the engine room is no longer replaced fast enough by external air flowing through
and can therefore quickly heat up. In addition, the hot engine components that were under full load
(charge air pipes, crankcase, oil pan) give up additional heat in the engine room.
In this operating phase it is thus necessary to provide forced air ventilation by means of fans.
22
Air requirement and air pressure in engine room

The air admission into the engine room is ensured by the cross−section and the design of the air inlet
openings.
Air requirement per engine
Engine model Power kW (HP) Speed rpm Air requirement m3/ h

V 8−1200 882 (1200) 2300 4100
V 12−1800 1324 (1800) 2300 6300
The air requirements given in the table represent the combustion air requirement for each engine.
The air intake openings in the engine room have to be dimensioned to accept this volumetric flow.
Fans
Fans with large dimensions are required to ensure
that the entire engine room has a thorough
circulation of fresh air.
The following criteria will help you in selecting
effective fans:
1. Fans with
a 24V constant voltage power supply,
= 160 mm to 300 mm
2. Fans with
an alternating voltage supply from the ship’s
generator, 240V,
= 150 mm to 450 mm
Small fans attached to corrugated hoses are not
suitable as they do not provide a sufficient flow
rate and only guarantee a supply of fresh air in
their immediate vicinity.
Suction ventilators are recommended; these suck
the warm air out of the engine room so that fresh
air can flow in through the air inlet openings.
Note:
If the air pressure in the engine room
exceeds the surrounding atmospheric
pressure, vapours, oil mist, etc. can make
their way into the living quarters
accommodation on the ship and lead to
bad odours.
23
Air ducting, general

The openings for the inlet and outlet of air are to
1
be arranged such that a purging affect is created,
i.e. the whole engine room is provided with a flow 2
of air.
Fresh air inlet to engine room

Fresh air should enter along the side of the hull at
as high a position as possible ahead of the engine
room. 3
À Direction of travel
Á Hoses to engine room
Â Air baffle
It is possible to optimise the volume of the air flow 4
by shaping the air supply duct to optimum flow A
effect and by utilising the air stream produced from A
forward motion.
Caution:
5
Water spray and splash water must not be
allowed to reach the engines! 6
Water ingress would lead to the total loss
of the engine!
A Free cross−section
Ã Deck
Ä Air duct
Å Side of ship
The free cross−section A of the air inlet is related
to the narrowest point of the complete air supply
route. It is dimensioned according to the air
requirement of the engines in accordance with the
table on page 23.
Air should enter the engine room at as low a point
as possible between the ship’s sides and the
engines.
Air outlet from the engine room

The air outlet should be located opposite the inlet,
i.e. at the back of the engine room and as high as
possible.
24
Crane transport of the engine
Transporting drive line onto ship

1
Caution:
When working on the engine make sure to
not step on the engine cover À.
Use crane lifting equipment to lift engine.
Danger:
Using unsuitable lifting equipment that is
not strong enough for the load may result
in serious accidents/injury!
Make sure ropes and chains do not pull
crookedly on the crane hooks.
There are 4 crane hook lugs Á on the engine to be

used when lifting the engine without the gearbox
attached.
2
When lifting the engine with the gearbox attached,
use the engine’s two front crane hook lugs and the
other two on the gearbox Â.

Torsional−vibration analysis
The forces of gas and inertia from the engine can cause vibration of the entire drive line. In order to
determine the resonance in terms of position and strength and to avoid overstressing, a torsional−vibration
analysis is required.
This can be carried out by MAN for a fee. The requisite data are to be collected during the project phase in
the form of a questionnaire − "Questionnaire on torsional vibration calculation for ship’s drive line".
26
Flywheel and flywheel housing

The following applies for all V8 and V12 engines:
À Flywheel with I = 1.9 kgm2 for flange mounting
a gearbox
Á Flywheel housing with SAE1 connection
Note: 1
To carry out an exact installation
inspection, request an installation drawing
showing detailed dimensions for the 2
flywheel or flywheel housing.
Resilient coupling
A torsionally resilient coupling Ã is to be provided
between the engine and the gearbox.
This has the function of decoupling vibrations
between the engine and the drive train (gearbox,
propeller shaft and propeller). In this way, high 3
frequency vibrations created by the ignition cycle is
restricted to the engine crankshaft.
Furthermore, the transfer of low frequency
vibrations of the drive train to the engine is
prevented.
Installation of the coupling to the flywheel

The dimensions of the flywheel À and type of
bolted connections Â for installing the coupling can
be found in the installation drawing.

Crankshaft axial play 1

Caution:
The designed crankshaft axial play of the
engines must not in any event be reduced
by the flange−mounting of couplings or
other components.
Therefore it is absolutely necessary to measure

the crankshaft axial play before and after the
installation of components Á using a magnetic
mounting fixture with dial indicator Â. If both
measurements do not match, or if the crankshaft
bounces back after being pressed, check the 2
installation.
Carry out the measurement as follows:
D Remove the V−belt guard
D Secure the magnetic base of the dial gauge on
the engine base
D Attach dial gauge with pre−tension on the
crankshaft
D Push the crankshaft to the end position in the
direction of the flywheel housing.
D Set the dial gauge to zero
D Pull the crankshaft to the end position in the
direction of the dial gauge and read off the
difference.

Aligning an engine with flange−mounted gearbox
Note:
The mounts are pre−compressed at the factory by the shipping locks. For this reason it is not
necessary to preload the resilient mounts before the alignment.
Provisionally aligning drive line

D Place the drive line and the resilient mounts
onto the engine foundation using suitable crane
lifting equipment.
D Raise the propeller shaft by hand at the
coupling flange as far as possible.
Half the angle between the highest and lowest
positions of the coupling flange provides the
correct height for the gearbox output flange.
This ensures that the propeller shaft can be
correctly centred.
Note:
A resilient propeller shaft coupling between
gearbox output flange and propeller shaft
flange compensates minor offset and
reduces vibrations.
D Align gearbox output flange and propeller shaft

flange flat with the aid of suitable surfaces.
D Adjust the height À of the engine mounts Á. In
so doing, ensure that the mounts are equally
compressed on both sides of the engine.
Caution:
The max. height adjustment of all mounts
is 10 mm.
This adjustment height must not be
exceeded. Larger differences in height
must be compensated for with metal 1
shims.
The less the height is adjusted, the more
room for later adjustments.

29
Aligning drive line

The drive line (engine and gearbox) and the propeller shaft must be aligned so that the radial offset and
angle offset of all the components are within the specified tolerances.
Caution:
In order to avoid damage by vibrations and oscillations, the alignment of the drive line must be
checked annually or after approx. 3000 operating hours and if necessary adjusted.
Parallelism of flanges
Check that shafts are flush in advance
D Using straightedge Â at several points, check 3
whether gearbox output flange À and propeller
shaft flange Á are flush in relation to each
other.
Check for parallelism of flanges
D Join propeller shaft flange and gearbox output
flange together
D Slide feeler gauge Ã with a 0.5 mm blade
between the flanges, screw in a coupling bolt
and tighten slightly
1 2
D Pull out the 0.5 mm blade
D Check the gap dimension all round at 90°, 180°
and 270° with 0.58 mm and 0.42 mm blades
(the tolerance must not exceed 0.08 mm)
D Remove the bolt and apply a marking to the 4
gearbox output flange
D Rotate the gearbox output flange through 90°,
180° and 270° and repeat the check
If the measurement produces a reading of more
than 0.125 mm, then the propeller shaft flange is
running with excessive lateral runout (wobble).
30
Checking gearbox output and propeller shaft

for radial and angle offset
Radial offset means that the centre lines of 1
2 associated flanges are actually parallel, but are 2
offset laterally in relation to each other.
À Flange (e.g. gearbox output) x
Á Flange (e.g. propeller shaft)
Radial offset: X = max. 0.5 mm
Testing for radial offset: The dial indicator is
installed in one of the shaft ends. Connect both
flanges but not fully. To do this, screw in one bolt.
The face sides of the flanges must not touch.
The check is repeated four times with an angular
spacing of 90° between each check.
The display must not deviate by more than
2 x 0.5 mm = 1 mm.
Angle offset means that the centre lines of 2

associated flanges are not parallel. x
À Flange (e.g. gearbox output) 1 2

Á Flange (e.g. propeller shaft)
Â Angle offset 3
Angle offset: max. 0.1 mm
with reference to 200 mm flange diameter
Checking the angle offset: The dial gauge is
attached to one of the shaft ends. Connect the two
flanges by turning as far as they will go without
forcing them. To do this tighten a screw. However, x+max.0.1mm
the faces of the flanges may not come into
contact.
The check is repeated four times with an angular
spacing of 90° between each check.
The maximum permissible angle offset may not be
exceeded at any measuring point.
Caution:
The alignment of the drive line must be
checked after the ship has been launched.
If readjustment is necessary, make sure
that all the mounts have a uniform bearing
function.

32
Arrangement of the drive line

The drive line consists of the engine and the free standing (not flange mounted) gearbox. This allows the
engine and gearbox to be installed at different positions (usually in V−Drive design), so that the power
transmission from the engine to the gear box is made through a propeller shaft. For this type of setup MAN
has developed solutions for the selection of the coupling and guidelines for the alignment of the drive line.
The goal here was to:
D Avoid damage caused by vibrations at the engine, gearbox, resilient coupling and propeller shaft
D Avoid the transfer of vibrations into the engine foundation and thus avoid vibrations of the ship and
therefore increase the comfort on board
There are two ways to connect a propeller shaft to the engine:
1. Engine power is transferred through a highly resilient coupling (figure at top left).
The highly resilient coupling connected to the engine’s flywheel allows working angles of max. 3°.
À Engine
Á Resilient engine mounts
Â Highly resilient coupling, see page 34
Ã Free−standing gearbox

2. Engine power is transferred through a resilient coupling with a flange bearing (figure at bottom left).
This concept requires more construction space due to the flange bearing, but allows a working angle of
up to 9°.

Basic guidelines for installing propeller

shafts
When a single cardan joint, universal joint or ball
joint is rotated while bent, an irregular motion
occurs at the output end.
This irregular motion can be compensated for by
connecting two joints to one propeller shaft. For
the complete compensation of the irregular
motions, the following requirements must be met:
D Identical running angles at both joints (ß1=ß2)
D Both inner joint forks must lie in a plane
D Input and output shafts must also lie in one
plane
Propeller shaft arrangement in Z−Form
Propeller shaft arrangement in W−Form
Exception:
In the case of a spatially−angled propeller shaft,
the input and output shafts do not lie in one plane.
To achieve a steady output motion, the inside
propeller shaft forks must be twisted against one
another so that they both lie within the angled
plane produced by their joints. In addition, the
spatial working angles must be the same.

Auxiliary equipment consisting of two alignment rods can be used to obtain the same working angle for a
V-configuration.
Such auxiliary equipment is illustrated below.
For the dimensions given this equipment can be used for propeller shafts with lengths of
Lz = 700 to 1300 mm. Shorter or longer propeller shafts require shorter or longer rods A.
Procedure: Mount alignment rods in place of the propeller shaft. Both parts must be of the same length.
Align engine or gear box so that the tips of the alignment rods meet. Remove the auxiliary equipment and
mount the propeller shafts.
36
Installing propeller shafts

When connecting the propeller shaft halves, make sure that the markings (arrows) on the splined shaft and
the splined hub face each other.
Caution:
Incorrectly assembled propeller shafts will not compensate for irregular motions, but rather
increase it. This causes vibrations in the drivetrain. Furthermore, the joints and splined sections
may be damaged.
The propeller shafts are to be arranged so that the splined section is protected from dirt and moisture.
Usually what this mean is that they are to be installed as per the following drawings, where the profile seals
are pointed down so that any splash water can flow away from the splined section.
The propeller shafts must not be separated at the splined section and must not be swapped with each
other. Otherwise the balance of the shafts will be considerably affected. For this reason the balance
weights are also not to be removed.

Combustion air system and charging
Diagram of the charging
À Air filter Ã Turbocharger, low compression stage

Á Turbocharger, high compression stage Ä Boost pressure control valve
Â Intercooler Å Charge air cooler
The diagram shows the combustion air ducting on the V8−1200. The design is identical for V12−1800.
There are two stages of turbocharging whereby the combustion air is cooled after each stage. Each
cylinder bank has one low compression stage turbocharger, one intercooler and one high compression
stage turbocharger.
After passing through the air filter, the combustion air is pre−compressed by the low compression stage
turbocharger and cooled by the intercoolers. The high compression stage turbocharger compresses the
combustion air to the final pressure. Before the air reaches the cylinders, the air is cooled in the charge air
cooler to a temperature of approx. 50°C. The waste gates limit the amount of combustion air flow and
prevents an overload of the engine.
Both the intercooler and the charge air cooler are supplied with sea water.
Caution:
The proper operation of the charge air cooler and the intercooler can only be ensured if sufficient
sea water is supplied, see chapter “Cooling system” page 45.
38
Combustion air system and charging
Combustion air requirement

In order to burn fuel completely and thereby achieve full power, the engine requires an adequate supply of
fresh air, the volume of which can be determined from the technical data provided in the appendix to this
manual.
Air filters
Caution:
If any dust producing work is to be
performed on the ship after the engine has
been installed, please take measures to
protect the air filters from this dust.
Vacuum downstream of air filter

The maximum permitted intake vacuum at
maximum power and rated engine speed is:
V8−1200
in new condition: 35 mbar
in soiled condition: 70 mbar
V12−1800
in new condition: 70 mbar
in soiled condition: 90 mbar
Caution:
If this value is exceeded, check ventilation
of the engine room, see page 22.
39
Exhaust system
Basic construction elements

1
Danger:
The exhaust system must be completely
gastight in order to fully exclude the
danger of poisoning.
Under no circumstances may water be allowed to

ingress the engine via the exhaust gas system. In
the case of a low installation of the engine and
exhaust gas outlet, just above or below the water
line, a bend must be built into the pipe, with a
subsequent falling exhaust gas outlet ("swan neck
layout") À. This is to prevent water ingressing the
engine when manoeuvring astern.
Caution:
If sea water ingresses the engine, it will
result in a total write−off that is not covered
by the MAN warranty.
It is not permissible to provide a single common

exhaust system for several engines. In the case if
multi−engine layouts a separate exhaust system for
each engine is obligatory, so that with one engine
running, no exhaust gas can enter the other 2
engine/s.
Securing exhaust system
Caution:
Secure and support the exhaust pipes so
that no forces act on the turbochargers.
How the exhaust system is secured depends on its

basic design.
If the exhaust system is connected to the engine
by way of heat−resistant hoses, the supports can
be attached to the engine and gearbox feet
(Á and Â). 3
If the exhaust system is connected to the engine
by way of bellow expansion joints, the exhaust
system must be suspended from vertically
adjustable brackets Ã.

40
Exhaust system
Exhaust gas outlet on the engine

On both the V8−1200 and V12−1800 both banks of
cylinders are routed to a central exhaust gas 1
outlet.
On both types, exhaust gas manifolds can be
provided either for an exhaust gas outlet to the
rear À or upwards Á.
The dimensions of the flange for the connection of
the boat−side exhaust gas system are shown on
the installation drawing.
Connecting exhaust system to engine

Install resilient connecting elements between
engine and exhaust system which permit engine
movement resulting from the resilient engine 2
mounting and isolate the engine vibrationally from
the exhaust system.
Either heat−resistant hoses (corrugated hoses
made of silicone) or bellow expansion joints can be
used for this purpose.
Installing exhaust bellow expansion joint

Exhaust pipe bellows Â prevent the transfer of
vibration from the engine to the exhaust gas
system and compensate for expansion of the
exhaust pipe due to heating.
Installing the exhaust gas bellows under pre−-
tensile load.
Pre−tensile loading means that before screwing on
the bellows, the distance X between the flange of
the bellows and the mating flange of the
downstream exhaust pipe Ã should be 10−15mm. 3
For flange hole pattern and dimensions see
installation drawing.

Exhaust system
Exhaust silencing
Exhaust silencing can be achieved either by
means of an exhaust outlet below the water line or
by installing exhaust silencers.
Exhaust outlet below water line

As well as noise damping, an exhaust outlet below
the water line normally gives rise to an increase in
exhaust backpressure.
A flow−optimised configuration of the exhaust
outlet can reduce this effect.
However, there must be no incidence of vacuum
pressure here.
Caution:
A vacuum at the exhaust outlet leads to
impermissible high turbocharger rpms and
is therefore not allowed.
If the exhaust outlet is located below the water

line, incorporate a bypass to the exhaust pipe with
an outlet above the water line.
If this bypass is omitted, there can be a build−up of
pressure in the exhaust system when the ship is
stationary or moving at low speed until this
pressure exceeds the water pressure below the
ship and then escapes abruptly, resulting in
intense vibrations.
Permitted exhaust back pressure

The exhaust backpressure must be measured
during commissioning.
Measuring points of the exhaust back pressure (À
or alternatively Á, M14x1.5) can be found on the
underside of the exhaust manifold at the engine. 1 2
It is the static pressure which is measured, i.e. the
measurement connection must be internally sealed
with the pipe wall. Measurements of the dynamic
pressure lead to incorrect results.
Permissible exhaust backpressure at full load and
rated rpm: 20−80 mbar
Caution:
Exceeding the permissible value leads to
an impermissible exhaust temperature and
to thermal loading, as well as to
inadequate engine power and considerable
smoke development.
43
Exhaust system
Insulation of the exhaust pipe

(applies for both wet and dry exhaust systems)
Exhaust pipes must be carefully insulated using
fireproof material.
Danger:
Missing or unsuitable insulation can lead
to:
D Accidents with burns
D Fires in the engine room
D High engine room temperatures
Hot, non−insulated exhaust pipes heat up the

engine room considerably.
The quantity of heat emitted increases by the
surface temperature raised to the power of 4, e.g.
surface temperature increases by 20% − the
radiated heat produced is doubled.
Requirements on the insulation material:
− Flame retardant
− Fuel− and lubricant−impermeable
− The material must not release dust or fibres
into the atmosphere as these can be drawn
in by the engine
44
Cooling system
Seawater cooling system

The seawater cooling system is used to cool the engine and the charge air cooling system. For full engine
power at the permissible thermal loads it is very important that the charge air cooling system has an
adequate supply of sea water.
The cooling system on all MAN engines is designed for seawater temperatures of up to 32°C (305 K).

45
Cooling system
Seawater inlet
Sea water enters through a scoop À on the
underside of the hull.
In this way, the pressure created at the sea water
inlet while the ship is moving can be utilised to
supply the pump with sea water.
Scoop
Although the inlet cross−section of the scoop is
determined by the diameter of the sea water inlet
1
pipe, it should nevertheless be designed to be as
large as possible within the framework of these
limits.
In order to achieve a flow−optimised shape, the
entire scoop should be manufactured as a single 3
casting.
The sea water enters through a grille with large
openings between the bars Á. In order to assist
the inflow into the sea water inlet pipe to the
2
engine, the back of the scoop Â must have a
round, flow−optimised shape so that no water
backpressure can inhibit the sea water supply.
In the case of two−part scoop designs, i.e.

separate grille Ã and sea water inlet line Ä, poor
arrangement of these two components will cause
water backpressure at the back of the scoop.
The same effect can arise in the case of one−part
scoops with rectangular grille designs.
Seawater inlet for jet drive

The water supply flow for the jet drive must not
hinder the seawater supply for the engine cooling
system.
46
Cooling system
Seawater supply components
Sea valve 1
Ball valves which are bolted directly to the scoop
should be used as sea valves À.
These can be swiftly closed in an emergency (pipe
break).
In addition, the "Open / Closed" setting of the valve
can be immediately identified from the position of
the handle.
Seawater filter
The seawater filter Á should be equipped with a
sight glass, a removable cap and a removable filter
basket. 2
The following approximate values apply to the filter
basket:
− Mesh size max. 3 mm
− Surface approx. 10 times as large as the
inlet cross−section
Positioning of sea water filter:
If possible directly above the sea valve.
In any event the sea water filter must be situated
above the water level.
This allows the filter to be cleaned with the sea
valve open. Furthermore, with the sea valve open,
objects blocking the scoops can be removed
without having to lift the ship out of the water.
Seawater pipes to and from engine

The sea water lines (hoses) must be sufficiently
flexible to compensate movements of the engine
due to its resilient mounting.

Measuring points for commissioning

For the commissioning process there are
measuring points Ã installed at the inlet and outlet
for the seawater (M14x1.5).
Gearbox oil cooler

Cooling water for the gearbox oil cooler is supplied 4
through the connection Ä on the seawater pump.
The gearbox oil cooler’s water supply is marked 3
with “out".
The connection for the cooling water return from
the gearbox cooler is to be installed by the
shipyard on the ship−side piping.
There are 2 possibilities for this:
1. Installation in the seawater outlet downstream
of engine
2. Installation in the seawater injection in the 5
exhaust system

Cooling system
Choice of materials for pipework

Various metals may not be freely combined with each other. If “noble" and "non−noble" metals are
combined, the “non−noble" metal will corrode both of them due to bimetallic corrosion.
This process is accelerated still further in humid or even salty atmospheres.
The more non−noble a metal is, the more negative its negatively charged. Two different metals have a
bimetallic voltage difference that wants to be balanced out when they are combined (direct contact or
conduction through water). The following lists metals according to their electric potential starting with the
"most noble" (platinum) down to the “most non−noble" (magnesium).
The further two metals are apart in this list, the greater the problems to be expected by bimetallic corrosion.

Note:
Proof of an adequate sea water supply is a decrease in vacuum pressure in the inlet pipe with
increasing ship speed, ideally to overpressure.
D At standstill: 0.3 bar at set rated speed
D At maximum speed: 0.05 bar
If the vacuum pressure increases while the ship is moving, then seawater supply cannot be

Propeller system
Propeller suitability with reference to ship resistance and driving power

Propulsion engine, ship’s hull and the propeller form a system, whose individual components interact.
The propulsion engine provides the driving power, the ship’s hull accepts the driving power and the
propeller transmits this driving power.
Therefore the propeller must be suited to this system in terms of its design, diameter and pitch.
Correctly adjusted propeller for the test drive

100
The propeller must be selected so that during the 4
test drive of the new ship an engine rpm of 90
2320−2350 rpm can be reached
(Operating point Ã). 80

Load indication on MAN Monitoring

Diagnosis System (MMDS) display
The relative engine load can be shown on the
Monitoring and Diagnosis System display as a %.
The term "load" describes the torque of an engine
that is required at a certain rpm.
The display in the figure shows an engine speed of
1200 rpm and a relative load of 80% (example).
Relative load means the percent of the max.
possible torque (full load) currently requested,
which can be delivered by the engine at a certain
rpm.
The engine always delivers as much torque as the
propeller can take at that moment.
Note: 100% 1
This is calculated at a certain rpm
delivered torque from the diesel injection
quantity.
By comparing it to the max. possible diesel

Interpreting load indication

The reading of the load display can be clarified by the following example, selected at random.
Example 1:
The load indicator shows 37% at a speed of 1720 rpm (75% of rated rpm).
This means:
Because the propeller is only accepting 37% of the maximum possible power at a speed of 1720 rpm, the
engine cannot output more power. A reserve of power of 63% remains available (e.g. for acceleration).
Example 2:
The load indicator shows 80% at a rated speed of 2300 rpm.
This means:
Because the propeller is only accepting 80% of the maximum possible power at an engine speed of 2300
rpm, the engine cannot output more power. A reserve of 20% is available for an increase in propulsion
resistance (e.g. by loading the ship or adapting the propellor).
This does not mean:
The engine is unable to output more than 80% of its power.
57
Auxiliary power take−off
Auxiliary power take−off for the drive of

a hydraulic pump
The V-engines can be equipped with an auxiliary
power take−off (PTO) on the flywheel housing at
the back of the engine on the right−hand side. A
hydraulic pump À can be installed at this point.

Electrical system
Wiring of engine and components

A wiring diagram for a double engine system can be found in the appendix. Each engine requires separate
wiring, i.e. the wiring circuits of each engine must not be connected with each other.
Ship ground
The ship ground is created by a copper band which runs longitudinally along the hull and is connected to
the zinc anodes.
The engine, gearbox and terminal box must be connected to the ship ground by a ground cable.
Batteries
Each engine has a separate battery for the starter. 24V DC consumers are to be supplied by their own
batteries.
Starters
All MAN ship engines have starters with 2 poles.
1
For this reason the positive cable of the starter
battery connects to terminal 30 of
the starter À, the negative cable of the starter
battery connects to terminal 31 of the starter Á.
2
Caution:
The negative cable must never be
connected to the ship ground, the hull or to
other components.
The starter can either be installed on the left Â or

right Ã of the engine.

Generators
The starter battery of each engine is charged by a 1
generator À.
The generator has been completely wired at the
factory.
This generator may not be used to charge other
batteries used to power other consumers.
A second generator Á (optional) can be installed to

charge those batteries used to power other
consumers.
Both generators are not designed with 2 pole
insulation. To be able to produce an isolated wiring
of the generators, the generators are mounted
entirely insulated from the engine. For this reason
the generator’s housings are connected to the
corresponding battery ground Â, also see the
diagram on page 87. 2

Electrical preheating of coolant
If required, the engines can be equipped with an electrical coolant preheating system.
Purpose and function of coolant preheating

Coolant preheating is designed to facilitate starting the engine when external temperatures are low and to
ensure the availability of the full power output immediately after a cold start (warm−up phase not required).
For this purpose, the coolant is preheated with the engine at a standstill. Preheating is made by an
electrical heater that is supplied from the AC power grid on land.
Calix 1100 watt coolant preheating system

Ex−works, the pre−heating unit is À mounted at the
side of the engine, below the exhaust pipe.

Shielded lines/cables for the Marex OSII (MPC) throttle lever control system
Shielded CAN bus wires must be used between the Marex OSII (MPC) throttle lever control and the throttle

Terminating resistor at throttle lever control

The Bosch Rexroth throttle lever for the Marex OSII (MPC) controller communicates with the controller in
the engine room through the CAN bus. This CAN bus must always be fitted with terminating resistors at
both ends (start and finish ends).
Caution:
If the CAN bus is not terminated, or if it is incorrectly terminated, then this may result in
disturbances in data communication.
Terminator at start of bus in engine terminal box

The controller in the engine room has an internal terminating resistor (dip switch S1) on the mother board
which does not have to be set. Default setting: S1 set to the right.
Note:
S1: Throttle lever terminating resistor switch
S2: Cross communication terminating resistor switch
Terminator at finish end of bus at throttle lever

The lengths of the CAN busses vary depending on
the number of throttle levers. In any case the CAN 1
bus must always be terminated at the last throttle
lever with a terminating resistor À
part no. 51.25435−0174.
69
Terminating resistor for cross communication

In multi−engine applications the Marex OSII (MPC) controller in the engine room requires a connection
(cross communication) to the other engines. This cross communication is also made using a CAN bus and
serves as a data exchange e.g. for rpm synchronisation between the throttle lever controllers. The X 13
and X 14 connections at the terminal box are available for this purpose.
The X 13 and X 14 connections must not be fitted with terminating resistors, but rather fitted with blind caps
when not used. The termination is always made directly at the MPC controller dip switch (S2). The default
setting must not be changed for double engine systems.
Default setting for double engine systems: S2 set to right position = termination active
On systems with more than two engines, termination of the MPC controller in the middle must be
deactivated, i.e. DIP switch S2 set to the left position.
Checking gearbox control
Measuring the resistance at the solenoid valves

To ensure that the commissioning process runs smoothly, first check the resistance of the solenoid valve
before the gearbox controller is connected.
Caution:
For 24 V valves the resistance must be greater than 12 Ω !
Flat ribbon cables in the terminal box for gearbox control may be overloaded or destroyed.
Procedure:
D Disconnect the solenoid valve plug
D Carry out a resistance measurement (forwards and reverse) at both solenoid valves
Set the meter to ohms and measure the resistance of the respective solenoid valve between Pin 1
and Pin 2.
Resistances for 24 V solenoid valves:
− ZF: 20−30 Ω
− Twin Disc: 28−32 Ω

Solenoid valve plug (Item no. 51.25432−0070)

The components À integrated into connector Á
serve to protect the control electronics of the 1 2
terminal box and to signal the gear status (LED) of
the gearbox. A considerable advantage in this
case is the protection against polarity reversal of
the tens diode and the LED. This feature is also
ensured even when the connections are
accidentally swapped.
Function principle:

Marking oil dipstick

Owing to the fact that their final installation position
is not known, the oil dipsticks in main marine
engines are usually not marked by the
manufacturer. They must therefore be marked
after the engine has been installed.
Proceed as follows:
D Add the minimum amount of oil stipulated for
the relevant oil pan (see Operating Instructions,
Technical Data). Then wait approx. 1/2 hour
until the oil has collected in the oil pan.
D Pull out the oil dipstick and mark the visible
minimum oil level (MIN) on it.
D Then top up the difference to the maximum
permitted oil pan quantity, wait approx. 1/2 hour
and mark the visible max. oil level (MAX) on the
oil dipstick.
D After filling with oil, start the engine and run at
idle speed for a few minutes. Shut down the
engine. Check the oil level after approx. 5
minutes. MAX
D Because the oil filters and oil lines fill up while MIN
the engine is running, top up the missing oil
quantity now. Determine and make a note of
the overall oil quantity.

Danger:
There is a risk of burns and scalding.
During filling, the cooling system is to be vented by

means of the threaded vent plugs Â on the liquid−-
cooled exhaust turbochargers and on the exhaust

(The threaded vent plugs Â are positioned below
the coolant level in the expansion tank À)
1. Unscrew the threaded vent plugs Â.
2. Fill the coolant slowly through the filler neck of
the expansion tank Á, until coolant emerges 3
from the threaded vent plugs without bubbles.
3. Screw threaded vent plugs Â back in and screw
on cap Á all the way, but do not tighten yet.
Caution:
Overtightened caps can not be opened
again.
4. Let the engine run at a speed of 1200 rpm for

approx. 15 minutes
5. Shut down the engine.
Continue with Step 11, see page 74

Case 2: Engine mounted horizontally

(The threaded vent plugs Â are located above the
1 2 3
coolant level in the expansion tank À)
In this case complete filling and venting of the
cooling system is only possible, if the cooling
system is filled via the drain / filler valve Ã on the
side of the crankcase.
This is carried out using a pump Ä:
1. Unscrew the threaded vent plugs Â.
2. Open the cover of the filler neck Á.
3. Connect the filler hose of the pump to the
drain / filler valve Ã.
4. Switch on the pump Ä and fill the cooling
system until coolant runs out at the filler
neck Á. Switch off the pump.
5. Screw on cap Á all the way, but do not tighten 3
yet.
Caution:
Overtightened caps can not be opened
again.
6. Switch the pump on again, until coolant runs

out at the threaded vent plugs Â without
bubbles.
7. Switch off the pump and tighten the threaded
vent plugs Â.
8. Unscrew the pump filling hose and screw on
and tighten the locking cap on the drain filler
valve Ã.
4
9. Let the engine run at a speed of 1200 rpm for
approx. 15 minutes.
10.Shut down the engine.
11.The coolant level at the sight glass Å of the
expansion tank must lie at the centre of the
sight glass.
5
12.Check the coolant level and top up if necessary
before the next startup (with the engine cold).
To top up, carefully undo the locking cap −
relieve the pressure − then carefully open and
top up with coolant Á.
Note:
The turbochargers must not be vented 6
2
while the cooling system is being topped
up.
11.Repeat this procedure until coolant can no

longer be added.
74
Danger:
If in an exceptional case the coolant level has to be checked with the engine still hot from
operation, first carefully loosen the locking cap − relieve the pressure − then open carefully.
If the cooling system is opened with the engine hot

from operation, this will cause a loss of pressure in
the cooling system.
On continuing engine operation, this may lead to
the engine monitoring system MMDS triggering the 1
Pressure in expansion tank" alarm. The
consequence of this alarm is a reduction in engine
power.
There must be a pre−start up pressure of 0.7 bar in
the cooling system in order to be able to operate
the hot engine again, without the alarm, after
opening the locking cap.
To achieve this, a pressure valve À is mounted on
the expansion tank, to which a normal
commercially−available air pump can be
connected. The pump can be used to pump the
system pressure up to 0.7 bar.
