6.4 Recommendation for Turbocharger operation and maintenance
Operation Recommendations
Engine should not be put under full load immediately after start. We recommend the
engine to be run at idling speed for a short time (60 seconds). Warm up the engine
under medium load.
After the engine has been operating at full toad for a longer period of time,
we recommend a short idling time (60 seconds) before switching off.
Maintenance Recommendations
Turbochargers and boost pressure control valves do not require any maintenance.
Engine oil has to be changed regularly.
Maintenance work has to be carried out regularly on the oil filter and air filter
systems.
Checks have to be made on the oil, air and exhaust piping, as well as, on all other
connections and seals, to ensure that they are still tight and no damage has
occurred.
When carrying out maintenance work on the engine (e.g. adjusting valves), in
most cases the piping leading from or to the turbocharger must be removed.
Close the piping opening on the turbocharger. Before fitting, clean the piping
carefully.
When fitting the turbocharger to the engine, fill the central housing with clean
oil and before fitting make absolutely sure that all piping connected to the
turbocharger is cleaned carefully.
From our experiences, if this advice is followed, a turbocharged engine has the same
life span as a naturally aspirated engine.
