Oil pressure
Max. oil pressure:
warm engine at speed above 800 rpm
6 bar
Normal oil pressure:
warm engine at operating speed
3 - 6 bar
Min. oil pressure:
warm engine at 800 rpm
0.7 bar
At speeds below 800 rpm, the gauge may show low oil pressure without there
being a fault.
Oil pressure below 0.7 bar at speeds above 800 rpm will cause engine dam-
age. The engine must be stopped immediately.
Charge warning lamp
If the lamp lights during operation:
Check/adjust the alternator drive belts as described under maintenance point
See page 45. If the charge warning lamp is still lit, there may be a fault in the
alternator or in the electrical system.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1.
Allow the engine to run without load for a few minutes if it has been run
with a high continuous load.
2.
Stop the engine with the stop button. Keep the stop button depressed
until the engine is completely stationary.
3.
DEC2: Before switching off, check that the control system’s main indi-
cator lamp is not on or flashing. See page 9 for trouble shooting.
4.
Engines with battery master switch: turn off the current using the battery
master switch.
5.
Set the control switch to ”0”.
High lubrication oil pressure
(above 6 bar) is normal when
starting a cold engine.
There is danger of turbo damage
and post boiling if the engine is
stopped without cooling.
The power must not be switched
off before the engine has
stopped.
