Commissioning and operation

First commissioning
When putting a new or overhauled engine into operation for the first time pay attention to the “Installation
instructions for MAN marine diesel engines" without fail.
It is recommended that new or overhauled engines should not be operated at a load higher than about 75%
maximum load during the first few hours of operation. Initial run-in should be at varying speeds. After this
initial run-in, the engine should be brought up to full output gradually.
Caution:
Use only approved fuels, lubricants etc. (see brochure Fuels, lubricants etc."). Otherwise the liab
ility for defects will become null and void!
Filling with fuel
Caution:
Fill the tank only when the engine is switched off. Pay attention to cleanliness. Do not spill fuel.
Use only approved fuels, see brochure Fuels, lubricants etc.".
Filling-in of coolant
Fill the cooling system of the engine with a mixture of drinkable tap water and anti-freeze agent on the
ethylene glycole basis or anti-corrosion agent.
