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.
D
Because the oil filters and oil lines fill up while
the engine is running, top up the missing oil
quantity now. Determine and make a note of
the overall oil quantity.
Caution:
Overfilling the engine with oil will result in
engine damage!
