1.1) Foreword
This Workshop Manual has been prepared to assist KOEL authorised Distributors/
Dealers/Service workshops to recondition the DV series engine correctly. It contains
technical assistance and guidelines for correct dismantling and assembly of the DV series
engine during engine repairs. Detailed instructions about basic repairs have been omitted.
It is presumed that tasks will be carried out by trained engineers / technicians using
proper tools tackles and correct procedures taking responsibility for the engine's
operating life and their own personal safety.
When repairing / overhauling the DV series engine, use only genuine Kirloskar spares
towards maintaining engine quality and reliability.
For routine care and maintenance of the DV series engine, refer to the O & M Manual
DV0.066.02.0.00.
This manual is prepared from information available at the time of its publication.
However in accordance with the Company's policy of constant product up gradation,
continuous improvements will be carried out on the engine from time to time. These
improvements will be communicated through bulletins and subsequently included in the
workshop manual reprints.
When ordering spare parts, mention engine's designated model with the full engine
number as punched on the nameplate and, wherever possible, the spare part manual's
publication number. This will help us to supply correct parts within the shortest possible
time ensuring minimum engine downtime.
Use correct size standard and special tools. An adequate capacity lifting device should be
used to prevent accidents, injuries as well as damage to the engine.
For satisfactory results, the dismantling and assembly of the engine should be done in a
well lit, clean room.
Dismantling and assembly is convenient and quick if carried out on a DV service trolley.
The DV series engine may need top overhaul after about 10,000 hours and a major
overhaul after about 20,000 hours provided the engine is properly maintained as per the
instructions specified in the O&M manual.

1.3) Engine Description
The Kirloskar DV series engines are 900 V configuration with 8/10/12-cylinders, water-
cooled, four stroke diesel engines with direct injection, available in turbocharged after
cooled version, suitable for power generation, industrial, marine auxiliary applications.
The standard direction of rotation is counter clockwise when looking at the flywheel from
the flywheel-end side. The engine's cylinders are numbered in ascending order from the
flywheel-end side with cylinder No.1 being nearest to the flywheel.
The engine cylinder block is a single piece of alloy cast iron. To increase its stiffness, it is
extended to a level below the crankshaft center line. The cylinder liners are wet and of
replaceable type. The engine has a unit construction design with individual cylinder liners
and heads with struck-in valve seat rings and replaceable valve guides.
The forged crankshaft has detachable counterweights (Balance weights) Radial oil seal is
on crankshaft at crank pulley and at flywheel end, oil seal is on crank gear.
The connecting rods are die-forged, diagonally split and can be removed through the top
of the cylinders together with the pistons. Crankshaft and connecting rods run in steel-
backed lead bronze ready to fit type bearings.

1.6) Tightening High Tensile Fasteners
The purpose of every tightening is to obtain as uniform load as possible on the fasteners
which are tightened by pre-loading.
The high tensile fasteners are tightened by two methods. Some of the fasteners are
tightened in one or two stages. The initial tightening is known as pre-loading.
What is pre-loading ?
Pre-loading is the elongation of bolt or fastener under tensile stress.
Why pre-load?
To ensure a rigid and long lasting connection of two or more different parts(which cannot
be loosened) under operating conditions.
This is the most conventional method used wherein a torque wrench is used. Here the
wedge effect of the threads is used to produce the elongation of the bolt. The resulting
stress pattern in the bolt is both axial and torsional. Due to friction, occurring in the
threads and the mating surfaces; only a fraction of the applied effort results in bolt
elongation.
This method of preloading is not very accurate as many factors can offset the accuracy
The factors involved are:-
1 The torque wrench, which can have an error up to 7% or more depending on its
condition.
2 The proper cleaning and lubrication of threaded portion of the fastener as well as the
threads inside the component is very essential. Also the friction increases as the bolt
diameter increases. This is due to the increase in cross-sectional area coming in contact
with the threads.
3 The surface finish of the component and the fastener play a crucial part in increasing
the friction.

SCOPE :
Following preservation procedure is recommended for both water cooled and air cooled engines
to be supplied overseas and also when the engines are to be kept idle (out of use) for prolonged
period (more than 12 months).
1) Using H.S.D. fuel, run the engine at approx. 70% of max. rated speed with no load for
approx. 5 minutes to warm up the engine (In case of 'fixed speed' engines like engine for
Genset, it can be run at rated speed).
2) After stopping the engine, drain lub.oil from sump and refill with suitable preservative oil
(Ref. Annexture I).
3) Run the engine on no load for 3 minutes (for engine speed ref. Point 1). During this time the
preservative will be circulated throughout the lub.oil system of engine. Stop the engine and
disconnect diesel fuel supply to fuel pump inlet.
4) Prepare a solution of Diesel + Preservative oil (5:1 ratio) in a separate tank, and connect fuel
line from tank, directly to fuel pump inlet ensuring gravity feed (by-pass fuel filter).
6) Electrically crank the engine till it fires (In case of purely Hand Start engines, hand crank the
engine using decompressor lever, till it fires) and let it run for 30 seconds (during this time
the diesel in fuel pump gallery and high pressure pipes will be displaced by Diesel +
Preservative oil mixture) stop the engine.
7) Close the Air Inlet Manifold (or the Air cleaner inlet) and crank the engine by starter for 5 to
10 seconds (In case of only hand start engines, it should be hand cranked using the
25
decompressor for 5 to 10 seconds). This will ensure coating of Diesel + Preservative oil on
the combustion chamber surfaces.
8) Drain preservative oil from oil sump, reinstall drain plugs and reconnect fuel filter into the
fuel pipeline.
10) Treat all unpainted external ferrous metal parts with two coats of suitable rust preventor (Ref.
Annexure I attached), allowing sufficient time for the first coat to thoroughly dry before
applying second coat.
11) All vents i.e. engine inlet pipe, exhaust pipe, air cleaner inlet, coolant inlet/outlet, crankcase
breather etc., to be carefully sealed with waterproof paper and waterproof adhesive tape.
15) Battery for engine starting, if provided, should disconnected and stored in a cool, dry place
after ensuring the electrolyte level (Refill with distilled water if necessary).
It is recommended to recharge the battery every 30 days.
16) Tag engine to indicate that it has been treated with preservatives, and should not be turned
over until ready to run, due to possible reduction of protective film. The tag should show the
date of treatment and validity date.
17) With above preservation procedure, the engine can safely be stored for a period of 12 months
maximum. It is preferable to wrap the engine in polyethylene bag and store in dry shade. If
the engine is to be stored unused for more than 12 months, the preservation procedure
mentioned above should be repeated every 12 months.
18) Periodically inspect the engine for rust or corrosion and take corrective action if any.
2. Remove the rust preventive coating from those unpainted-machined surfaces, which are
interfacing surfaces for the driven equipment. This can be done by using NC Thinner.
3. Fill recommended grade of lub.oil in the oil sump upto the 'top' mark of the dipstick. Add 0.5
lit further for lub.oil filter.
4. In case of water-cooled engines, fill the cooling system with fresh water.
26
The recommended additives are -
- Aquat 720 (2 cc per litre)
- Nalcool 2000 (35 cc per litre)
In case of low ambient temperatures (below +5oC) it is necessary to add antifreeze mixture to the
fresh water in 1:1 proportion.
5) Readjust the V belt tension after checking the condition of V belts(s). Replace the V belt(s) if
necessary.
6) Reconnect a fully charged battery of recommended voltage and Amp hr capacity ensuring
correct polarity connection (where applicable).
The engine is now ready for reuse.
27

Clean the crankcase. Visually inspect the crankcase for damages and cracks. If damage is
irreparable and will affect the engine's performance, replace the crankcase.
Match the numbers on the bearing cap and crankcase.
Inspect the crankcase main bearing bore. There should be no fretting marks on the loading
surfaces of the crankcase/M.B.Cap cavity or heavy scratches on the polished face.
Inspect the thrust washer groove cavity (in the crankcase and bearing cap) for damage or
heavy scratching.
Inspect the hollow dowel condition. Replace damaged dowels.
Clean the bores and oil passages with a brush using clean diesel. Blow dry with compressed
air.
Clean the threaded holes of the main bearing caps by running correct taps. Where holes are
blind, apply grease to the tap while running it.
Inspect the main bearing bores with a dial bore gauge. Refer to Specifications, Section1, 1.8,
8.11.
To check the bore diameter with a dial bore gauge.

two planes and at angles. Fig. 4.1 and 4.2
Record and check the values with Specifications, Section 1, 8.11. Record on a chart as shown
in the manual.
If required, check old bearing inside diameter after refitting bearings dry in their respective
bores and caps in the main bore Refer to Specifications, Section 1, 8.12. Tighten main
bearing cap bolts with washers to the prescribed torque. Refer to Tightening Torque table in
Section 1, 1.7
During tightening, take care that :
a. Oil is applied to bolt threads and head bottom surface.
b. Initial torque, stage 1 and stage 2 torque is applied with a torque wrench.
Inspect the liner collar cavity in the crankcase.
Check the internal diameter of the cam bushes with a dial bore gauge. Record and compare
values with the specification. Refer to Specifications, Section 1, 1.8, 7.2. If the values are
beyond the limit, replace the cam bushes. Fig.
2
After bushes are removed, inspect the
internal diameter of all cam bush bores
with a dial bore gauge at two planes and at
a right angle. Refer to Specifications,
Section 1,1.8, 7.1. If any of the cam bores
are damaged, recondition the damaged
bore (with KOEL's guidance) or replace
the crankcase. Fig.
3
While fitting the bearing, ensure an
adequately free spread. Do not install
bearings with negative free spread as
this will lead to premature bearing
failure.
Fit bearing caps and torque the bolts. Refer to Tightening Torque table in Section 1, 1.7.
Set the dial gauge to the correct size (standard or under-size) with a micrometer and measure
the bearing inside diameter at two planes-near the bearing parting line and in the vertical
plane. Record the values and check with the specification data. Refer to Specifications,
Section1, 8.1.2. Fig…

4.4) Inspection & Servicing of Crankshaft
The crankshaft is subjected to a lot of stress during engine operation and gets worn out /
damaged over time. Before servicing the crankshaft, a thorough inspection of the crankshaft is
essential. To recondition the crankshaft a good reconditioning facility is imperative.
Visually inspect the crankshaft for wear, damages and discoloration. Assess the state of the
crankshaft- whether it can be reconditioned or it should be replaced.
Crankshaft Inspection:
Thoroughly clean the crankshaft before inspecting it.
Support the crankshaft on 'V' blocks on journals as per the table shown in Section 4, page
--.
Visual Damage Check
Visually inspect the crankshaft for damage such as hit marks, discoloration of pins or journals,
cracks, etc. If cracks are detected on the fillet radius, replace the crankshaft. In case of other
damages, crankshaft can be salvaged by reconditioning.
Inspection of Diameters of Journals and Pins
Check the journal and pin diameters for wear and ovality with a micrometer. Note and compare
the readings with the specified values. Refer to Specifications, Section 1, 1.8, 8.2 and 1.8, 8.9.
Fig..
Inspect pulley end journal flange at the oil seal contact zone.
If wear and deep grooving is noticed, replace the crankshaft.
Fig…
Check Case Hardness of Journals and Pins
Check the surface hardness of the journals and pins with a
non-indenting type hardness tester, (Rockwell 'C' scale.) Note
and compare the values with the specification. Refer to Specifications, Section 1, 1.8 and 1.8,
8.9.3.
Crack Detection
Journals and pins should be checked for cracks.
This can be done by various crack detection
methods. KOEL recommends using the Magna
flux crack detection method. If cracks are noticed,
under-size the crankshaft till the crack disappears.
Fig…
5
If the crack is deep and reaches the soft core, it is advisable to replace the
crankshaft.
If a bend or twist is observed, do not try to rectify it as this will further damage the crankshaft
and main bore of the crankcase. KOEL recommends replacing the crankshaft.
6
Sharp edges developed due to mismatch will lead to stress being
concentrated in a sharp-edged area thereby leading to breakage of crankshaft (through fillet
radius) in a running condition. This is the main reason for crankshaft failure.
Reconditioning work should be carried out at a good machine shop wherein proper machining
practices are followed. Proper tooling and inspection facilities should be available.
There should be no visible tool marks / scratches on the fillet radius or the polished
surface areas.
Note: If crankshaft requires extensive rebuilding, please contact KOEL Pune for assistance.
After grinding:
Check journal and pin diameters for cracks.
Check thrust journal width.
Inspect the journal and pin diameters with a
micrometer for correct reading. Refer to
Specifications, Section 1, 1.8, 8.2 and 8.9
Check surface hardness of the newly ground
journals and pins. Refer to Specifications,
Section 1, 1.8, 8.4 and 8.9.3
7
Inspect and ensure that the fillet radius of the ground journals and pins are maintained as
specified. Refer to Specifications, Section 1, 1.8, 8.7 and 8.8.
Check the straightness, out-of-roundness parallelism between journals and pins. Refer to
Specifications, Section 1, 1.8, 8.12.1, 8.12.2 and 8.12.3. Fig…
Inspect and ensure that there are no visible tooling marks / scratches on the fillet radius
and the finished surfaces of the crankshaft.
Use the correct size tap to clean the threaded holes in the crankshaft where the balance
weight bolt fits.
Clean the crankshaft and oil passages with clean diesel and remove all traces of abrasive
material from the oil passages. Blow-dry with compressed air.

These seals are 'Double Lip Oil Seals'. One lip prevents dust entry and the second lip prevents oil
leakages.
If installed properly, the oil seal is effective and will reduce wear and tear on engine components.
However the seal will leak profusely if the right tooling is not used for fitting. For fitting
instructions, refer to Inspection & Service Procedure No. 4.12 and 4.13 Section 4.
Procedures must be strictly followed to avoid problems.

cloth.
Remove the oil seal from its packaging and install immediately.
Guide the pulley end oil seal into the oil seal housing bore squarely.
Use Oil Seal pressing mandrel pulley end
(DV0.950.522)
Do not fit the oil seal by hammering on the oil seal face.
13
Compare readings with the specification Data. Refer to Specifications, Section 1, 2.1. If
the wear limits are reached, replace the cylinder liner.
Also check the liner collar face under the collar for fretting or uneven wear marks.
Discard the liner if any of the above faults are noticed or if the tolerances are not within
the recommended limits. Refer to Specifications, Section 1, 1.8, 2.1.1 and 2.2.
Note: Whenever refitting an old liner or replacing it with a new liner, always fit new liner
joint rings as specified.
When pressing the new small end bush, take care to match the profile of the bush with
that of the small end bore of connecting rod.
Important : Irrespective of the condition of the connecting rod bolts, the bolts should be
replaced during a major overhaul.
Remove carbon from the piston's crown with a blunt tool or with an old piston ring.
Visually inspect the overall condition of the piston and check the piston crown for
cracks, burn marks, pitting and erosion. Check the piston outside diameter for seizure or
scoring marks.
Inspect the piston ring grooves for damage and other deformities.
15
Checking the Land Clearance
Check land (side) clearance between groove and
piston ring.
Use a new ring for checking clearance.
Use filler gauge for checking.
Piston Pin
Method:
Insert one ring at a time in the cylinder liner.
Push ring down squarely with the help of piston to about
40-50 mm.
Measure the gap between ring ends with a feeler gauge.
Follow this procedure with the next set of the rings in
another liner.
Repeat the procedure with the rest of the rings in
the set.
16
Retain the checked rings as a set with the respective liners only. Refer to Specifications,
Section1.8
4.18) Fitting of Piston Rings on Piston
Install piston rings with a ring expander to prevent
damage and premature failure of the rings.
Before installing piston rings, ensure that the
piston ring grooves and rings are spotlessly clean.
When installing piston rings, ensure that the
manufacturer's name or 'TOP' stamped on the ring
is facing the piston crown.
Install rings dry and in their correct sequence.
Ring gaps to be spaced at 120°. Gaps should not be
set along the axis of the piston pin.
The procedure for assembling the piston and connecting rod is as below.
Take the checked connecting rod. Refer to Inspection & Servicing
of Connecting Rod as per procedure no. 4.15.
Take the checked piston. Refer to Inspection & Servicing of Piston
Assembly as per procedure no. 4.16 Installed the piston rings.
Refer to procedure no. 4.18.
Fit the circlip to one side of the piston pin bore groove.
Apply fresh engine oil to the piston pin and the con-rod small end
bush.
Position the connecting rod in correct orientation to the piston. Fig.
Fit the piston pin with the help of mallet.
Lock the second circlip in place.
17
4.20) Bumping clearance checking procedure
Mount the
bumping
clearance
checking gauge
no on the
corresponding
liner.
Rest the
dial gauge stylus
on piston top on both the dials.
Measure the dial readings on both the dials.
Select the correct cylinder head gasket to adjust the
bumping clearance. Refer section 1, 1.8, 1.16.
18
4.22) Inspection & Servicing of Cylinder Head, Valve and Valve Spring
Before dismantling the valve assembly from the head, check the valve recess. Refer to
procedure No. 4.21 above.
Mark the respective cylinder number on the valve face. The inlet valve has a bigger cone
diameter than the exhaust valve.
Place the cylinder head on a flat surface with base support to inlet and exhaust valves.
19
Check valve springs for pitting marks, cracks
and other defects. Measure the free length of
springs. Fig… Refer to Specifications, Section
1, 1.10.
Replace spring if required.
If a feeler gauge passes through the gap, the face of the head is damaged and requires
repair / replacement. Refer to Specifications, Section1, 1.14.
Correct the flatness by re-facing the head in a machine shop.
Note: The outer diameter of the inlet valve seat insert is more than that of the exhaust valve seat
insert.
20
After removing the seat inserts, remove old valve guides and clean the valve guide bores.
Cool the valve seat inserts in dry ice for about 30 minutes. OR cool in liquid nitrogen for
about 10 minutes. OR heat the head in an oven up to 130°C (not direct fire). Fit the insert
in its bore and press it immediately with a suitable tool taking the reference of the newly
fitted guide. Ensure the seat fits squarely and completely in the bore.
When using liquid nitrogen, avoid direct contact with it to prevent injury to
the body due to its sub-zero cooling effect. KOEL recommends wearing gloves while working.
Refer to Material Safety Data Sheet of liquid nitrogen.
Ensure that no valve grinding paste touches the valve stem or valve guide.
This will damage both the valve guide and the valve stem.
Lap the valve and seat by rotating the valve back and
forth in a half turn with gentle but firm pressure with
the help of a cupped valve-grinding tool.
21
After every few turns, lift the valve off slightly from
the seat, give it a half-turn and tap gently. This is essential
to uniformly spread the grinding paste. Keep grinding
until the rough gritty feeling of the coarse compound turns
relatively smooth.
Remove the valve, wipe the compound from the valve and seat and check for a contact
pattern. When a relatively good flawless pattern is achieved, lap the valve again with the
fine lapping compound.
Maintain a separate cloth and small quantity of diesel for wiping off the
compound from the valve cone and seat inserts. This prevents accidental damage to the valve
stem and guides.
After lapping, visually inspect both the valve face and seat. The finished contact pattern
on both should be even, without flaw or break, scratch or depression marks.
Note: If a shining line or scratches are visible on the seats after lapping, it is possible that the
lapping was carried out with a heavy hand. Such valves will have to be lightly re-lapped again
with the fine compound.
Wash the valves and cylinder head with clean diesel to remove all trace of the harmful
abrasive material and dry with compressed air.
Before assembling the lapped valve assembly, confirm that the seating is good. This can
be done by a pencil erase test. Refer to Inspection & Servicing Procedure No. 4.27
Wipe and lightly lubricate the valve stem. Assemble valve in its original seat with valve
spring and new stem seal and lock it in position.
After locking the valve, check sealing of the seats. This should be checked by carrying
out the fuel leakage test. Refer to Inspection & Servicing Procedure No. 4.28
Method
Draw a zigzag line on the lapped valve's seat surface
with a soft lead pencil. Fig….
Fit the valve in its place in the head and turn it once
to 900 or 1/4 turn with a gentle but firm pressure.
Pull the valve out and inspect the pencil line. The lines should be completely erased from
the seats. This proves proper seating and good sealing.
If the pencil marks are not erased fully, repeat the lapping process as per procedure no.
4.26
22
4.28) Valve Checking by Diesel Leakage Test
Ensure the pencil erase test is carried out and sealing is ok.
Assembling the lapped valves, lock the collar,
spring and cone in position with the valve collets.
Pour clean diesel into the air inlet and
subsequently exhaust gas ports.
Check if the diesel leaks out between the valve
face and seat.
No diesel should leak out between the seats for the next 30 seconds. This ensures that
the sealing is effective.
If sealing is ineffective, diesel will leak out between a valve and seat. This diesel leak
may be due to dirt on the valve seat. Tap the valve lightly on the stem with a hammer to
remove the leak.
23
4.30) Method of adjusting the fuel timing
The fuel timing is required to be adjusted when the fuel pump is removed from the engine during
engine major overhaul or for calibration.
24
The exhaust manifold is in two parts, joined by a expansion bellow. The joint requires attention
as exhaust gases leaking from the joint can hamper engine performance.

TAKE CARE NOT TO BEND OR DAMAGE THE SHAFT.
27
However, vapor blasting is a good alternative if available, providing the vapor blasting
equipment manufacturers instructions are carefully followed and critical surfaces are
appropriately protected (see details below).
If parts are to be stored for any length of time after cleaning then they should be stored in clean,
dry plastic bags and the surfaces of all potentially rusting parts should be oiled prior to storage.
1. Bearing Housing
a) Scrape, brush or wipe as appropriate, to remove accumulations of residue from the
exterior surfaces.
b) Immerse briefly in safety solvent to remove any oily residue.
c) Blow dry with compressed air.
N.B. If vapor blasting is used mask the bore with corks or rubber stoppers.
2. Compressor Wheel
a) Immerse briefly in safety solvent to remove any traces of oily residue.
b) Blow dry with compressed air.
N.B. If vapor blasting then take care to mask the bore with corks or rubber stoppers.
N.B. If vapor blasting then take care to mask the entire shaft section with either appropriately
sized rubber hose or adhesive backed cloth tape.
a. c. After cleaning mount the shaft and wheel between centres in a lathe and lightly polish
the journal section of the shaft at 300 to 600 rpm with 400 grit abrasive paper and clean
oil.
b. NOTE: If the shaft and wheel shows any evidence of imbalance (bearing material
smeared on only one side of the shaft) - do not attempt to reuse.
c. After polishing re-immerse briefly in safety solvent and blow dry with compressed air.
4. Compressor cover
a. Scrape, brush or wipe, as appropriate, to remove accumulations of residue from the
exterior surfaces.
b. Immerse briefly in safety solvent to remove any oily residue.
c. Blow dry with compressed air.
6. V Clamps
a. Immerse in safety solvent agitating moderately until foreign material deposits have been
softened or dissolved.
28
b. Blow dry with compressed air.
It is recommended that all visual and dimensional checking of parts for re-use be done after parts
have been cleaned as described above. Critical dimensions mentioned below are given in the
latest issue of the ‘Hundred Series Service Limits and Torque Values' Data Sheet.
1. Bearing Housing
a. Inspect visually for evidence of cracks and fractures, pitting of gasket and other machined
surfaces, or distortion of the turbine end flange. Reject and replace if any of the above
conditions are severe.
b. Closely inspect the bearing bore visually for signs of damage or wear. The condition of
the removed bearings will be a good indicator of the bore condition. Refer to ‘Service
Limits Tables’
a) for maximum bore diameters. Reject and replace if bore condition is substandard.
c. Examine the turbine end seal bore for damage and replace bearing housing if wear is
excessive.
N.B. Do not mistake the machined step and relief groove for a wear ridge.
2. Compressor Wheel
Inspect visually for evidence of bent, burred, nicked or eroded blades and for evidence of
scuffing on the back face. Dynamically balance the Compressor wheel and reject and
replace if any damage has affected wheel balance. Do not attempt to straighten bent blades.
29
e. Dynamically balance the shaft and wheel assembly, referring to the ‘Service Limits
Tables’. Do not attempt to straighten a bent shaft.
4. Compressor Cover
Inspect visually for evidence of contour damage (as from high speed wheel contact). Reject
and replace if damage is excessive. It is permissible to polish out minor surface damage in
the contour.
6. Insert
Inspect the insert bore for evidence of surface damage. If there is evidence of contact
with rotating components or if the piston ring wear has created a ridge the insert should be
rejected and replaced.
7. Flinger Sleeve
Inspect visually for evidence of surface damage from contact with stationary parts. If piston
ring wear has caused the ring groove to deteriorate from its original rectangular configuration
reject and replace the flinger sleeve.
8. V Clamps
Inspect visually for evidence of cracks or distortion of the clamp and T-bolt threads.
Reject and replace if damage is excessive.
S300 ASSEMBLY.
When reassembling the turbocharger a Schweitzer Overhaul Kit should always be
used (see Parts List on the S300 Exploded View).
1. Re-use only parts complying with the "Inspection of Parts for re-use" guidelines.

Wipe the sealing surface of the filter housing with a clean dry
cloth or brush.
Apply a light film of oil on rubber seal of new cartridge. Fig.
Do not pour the oil in the filter cartridge. Filter should be
installed dry. Screw-in new cartridge into place by hand till it
is evenly seated.
Tighten the cartridge firmly by both hands and rotate it by
2700 further
35
Replace the micro filter element after an interval of 500 hours of pre-filter element
change.
Do not change pre-filter element and micro-filter element at the same time. A
filter attains maximum efficiency after a layer of dirt has been deposited on the surface of filter
element.
The procedure for changing the micro-filter element is the same as the procedure for changing the pre-
filter element.
BOWL
Apply a light film of oil on rubber seal of new cartridge.
Screw the filter cartridge by hand up to base.
Tighten the bowl with mounting tool at 20Nm.
Drain the water.
4.37) Servicing of Centrifugal Lube Oil Filter
The centrifugal filter is fitted on the lube oil sump. It is only a by-pass filter. The centrifuge is a super
filter, removing minute harmful particles and sludge up to 4 microns (by centrifugal force from the
engine oil, when the engine is in operation). This filter increases the life of the oil as well as the engine
and maintains a constant lube oil pressure.
36
Carry out servicing preferably when engine is still warm.
Wipe the filter body from the outside with dry cloth.
Unscrew top nut and remove cleaner cover. Lift rotor and drain oil from
it.
37
Assemble all rotor parts in a proper order and close the rotor cover nut with a maximum torque
of 1.2 kgm.
Match arrow narks on rotor and rotor cover.
Confirm rotor rotates freely on the shaft.
Tighten the center dome cover nut.
Start the engine and let it run for some time till the oil turns warm.
Stop the engine. The humming noise of the rotor should be heard after the engine has stopped. This
shows that the centrifugal filter is working properly.
Dos
Service the filter element only if the restriction indicator shows a red band in engine
stopped condition.
Check the condition and functioning of the restriction indicator regularly.
Check the evacuator valve regularly and replace it if required.
Clean the filter casing by wiping the dust from inside with a damp cloth.
Clean the baffle dust cover with compressed air.
Clean the main element with compressed air from inside-out, in the opposite direction to
air flow. The compressed air pressure should not exceed 3 kg/cm2. The air nozzle ID
should be not less than 8 mm and nozzle mouth at least 25 to 30 mm away from the
inside surface of the element.
The element should be replaced only after cleaning the element twice.
Check the element which has been cleaned with an inspection lamp for tear, perforations
or any damage. Replace the damaged element.
Do not disturb or remove during servicing of the main element. Replace the safety
element at every replacement of the main element.
Check and ensure that all connections, seals and joints are air-tight and leak-proof.
Ensure that the exhaust and/or oil fumes are not sucked in by the engine induction
system.
While re-assembling the air cleaner, ensure that :
The sealing ring of the element is OK and the rubber grommet and washer are OK and in
position.
The end cover seals the entire periphery around the air cleaner body.
The element is clamped with the wing nut.
Don'ts
Do not service / replace the element if the restriction indicator is not showing red band.
Do not clean the element by rapping, tapping or pounding.
Do not wash the element with hot water and soap or with petrol.
Do not remove/disturb the safety element when the main element is removed for
cleaning/checking.
38
Do not clean the filter elements unless the restriction indicator is showing red alert
signal.
Do not clean the safety element.
Do not fill oil or wet any part of the air cleaner with oil.
The Pre-cleaning (if provided) should be cleaned to remove the accumulated dust, after each
day’s work, when the engine is stopped.
39
Use a damp cloth to wipe all excess dust in the air
cleaner. Similarly clean the end cover.
Thorough cleaning of the filter element with
compressed air is recommended. Clean the element
from inside-out, using the pressurised plug.
The maximum air pressure should not exceed 3
kg/cm2. (Too much air pressure can break the fiber
paper and destroy the element.)
Carefully check a new or properly cleaned element for damage before its installation in the
cleaner. Conduct the light test by passing a light bulb through the element as illustrated
below. If there is any crack in the element, the light will pass through it. In that case replace
the element.
40
Replace the main element after two cleaning intervals.
Replace the inner or safety element every time the outer or main
element is replaced or after two years of duration or of the 3rd
replacement of main element whichever is earlier. Service /
Replace the element if the restriction indicator is showing the red
band.
To remove dust
41
Carry out a visual inspection of element resting face towards proper sealing of the
element.
Fill a container with water. Heat the water more than 740 C.
While water is heating, immerse the thermostat element in the container with a string so
that opening and closing of the element is clearly visible.
Record the temperature readings for both stages i.e. when the thermostat element starts
opening and when completely opened, with the help of a thermometer.
The thermostat element should start opening at 720 C to 740 C and be completely open at
880 C.
The thermostat is in proper working condition if it satisfies the above conditions.
