Man D 2876 LE 201 Operating instructions

Instruction
2
Important instructions concerning technical safety and personal protection are, as shown below, especially
highlighted.
Danger:
This refers to working and operating procedures which must be complied with in order to rule out
the risk to persons.
Caution:
This refers to working and operating procedures which must be complied with in order to prevent
damage to or destruction of material.
Note:
Explanatory descriptions which help in understanding the relevant work or operating procedure to
be carried out.
Fitting flat seals / gaskets
Gaskets are frequently used with sealants or adhesives as an aid to assembly or to achieve a better seal.
Above all when parts with different levels of thermal expansion (e.g. aluminium and cast iron) are bonded,
this can mean that the gasket is shifted during operation by the so-called stitching or sewing machine effect
and leaks occur.
Example: The cap of the front crankshaft seal. If a sealing agent or an adhesive is used here the flat seal
will move inwards in the course of time as a result of the different expansion rates of the materials. Oil will
be lost, for which the shaft seal may be thought to be responsible.
Perfect assembly of gaskets can only be achieved if the following instructions are adhered to:
DUse only genuine MAN seals / gaskets.
DThe sealing faces must be undamaged and clean.
DDo not use any sealing agent or adhesive −as an aid to fitting the seals a little grease can be used if
necessary so that the seal will stick to the part to be fitted.
DTighten bolts evenly to the specified torque.
Assembly of round sealing rings
DUse only genuine MAN round sealing rings.
DThe sealing faces must be undamaged and clean.
DAlways wet round sealing rings with engine oil before fitting them.

Masking of fuel and lube oil pipe con-
nections (for classified engines only)
The unions of pressurised oil and fuel pipes are
masked with a protective tape.
If this tape is removed during a repair, the unions
must be masked with protective tape again after-
wards.
The following pipes are affected:
−Oil supply pipe to turbochargers
−Fuel pipes between supply pump, filter and
injection pump
−Injection pipes protected against leaks
Fig. 1
A protective tape is wound around the unions. En-
sure that there is 50 % overlap on every pass.
Figs. 2−4
The unions to be masked must be clean and free
of oil and grease.
Do not apply the protective tape unless this is the
case

General
Important safety regulations are summarized in this quick-reference overview and arranged by topic to ef-
fectively convey the knowledge necessary to avoid accidents causing injury, damage or environmental haz-
ard. Additional information can be found in the operating instructions of the engine.
Important:
Should an accident occur despite all precautionary measures, particularly one involving contact with corros-
ive acid, penetration of fuel under the skin, scalding by hot oil, antifreeze splashing into the eyes etc. you
must seek medical assistance immediately.
1. Regulations designed to prevent accidents with injury to persons
Checks, setting jobs and repair work must be carried out by authorised skilled personnel only.
DWhen carrying out maintenance and repair work, ensure that the engine cannot be
accidentally started from the bridge by unauthorised persons.
DThe engine may only be started and operated by authorised personnel.
DWhen the engine is running, do not get too close to the rotating parts.
Wear tight-fitting working clothes.
DDo not touch hot engine with bare hands: Risk of burns.
ËË
DKeep area surrounding engine, ladders and stairways free of oil and grease. Accidents
caused by slipping can have serious consequences.
DOnly work with tools which are in good condition. Worn spanners/wrenches slip: Danger
of injury.
DPersons must not stand under an engine suspended on a crane hook. Keep lifting gear
in order.
DOpen the coolant circuit only when the engine has cooled down. If opening the coolant
circuit while the engine is hot is unavoidable, observe the instructions in the chapter
”Maintenance and care” in the Operator’s Manual.
DDo not tighten or undo pipes and hoses under pressure (lubricating oil circuit, coolant
circuit and any downstream hydraulic oil circuits).
The fluids which flow out can cause injury.
DWhen checking the injection nozzles, do not hold your hands in the fuel jet. Do not in-
hale fuel mist.

Safety regulations

DWhen working on the electrical system, first disconnect the earth cable of the battery
and reconnect this last to prevent short circuits.
DFollow the manufacturer’s instructions for handling batteries.
Caution:
Accumulator acid is toxic and caustic. Battery gases are explosive.
DWhen performing welding work, observe the “Notes for welders”.
2. Regulations designed to prevent damage to engine and premature wear
DThe engine must be cleaned thoroughly prior to repair. Ensure that dirt, sand or foreign matter
will not get into the engine during repair work.
DIf engine operation is disrupted, immediately determine the cause and have it remedied to prevent addi-
tional damage.
DAlways use genuine MAN parts only.Installation of “equally” good parts from other suppliers may cause
severe damage for which the workshop carrying out the work is responsible.
DNever allow the engine to run dry, i.e. without lubricant or coolant.
Appropriate notices must be attached to engines that are not ready for operation.
DUse only MAN-approved service products (fuel, engine oil, anti-freeze and anti-corrosion agent). Pay
attention to cleanliness. Diesel fuel must be free of water.
DDo not fill engine oil beyond the max. notch on the dipstick. Do not exceed the maximum per-
missible tilt of the engine.
Serious damage to the engine may result if these instructions are not adhered to.
DControl and monitoring devices (charge control, oil pressure, coolant temperature) must be in perfect
working order.
DObserve the instructions for operating the alternator; see chapter “Maintenance and care” in the Oper-
ator’s Manual.
3. Regulations designed to prevent pollution
Engine oil and filter cartridges and elements, fuel / fuel filters
DOld oil must be passed on for recycling.
DTake strict precautions to ensure that no oil or Diesel fuel gets into the drains or the ground.
Caution:
The drinking water supply could be contaminated.
DFilter elements are classed as dangerous waste and must be treated as such.
Coolant
DTreat undiluted corrosion protection agents and / or antifreeze as hazardous waste.

Safety regulations

DWhen disposing of used coolant, the regulations issued by the relevant local authorities must be ob-
served.
4. Notes on safety in handling used engine oil *
Prolonged or repeated contact between the skin and any kind of engine oil decreases the skin. Drying, ir-
ritation or inflammation of the skin may therefore occur. Used engine oil also contains hazardous sub-
stances that have caused skin cancer in tests on animals. If the basic rules of hygiene and health and
safety at work are observed, health risks are not to the expected as a result of handling used engine oil.
Health precautions:
DAvoid prolonged or repeated skin contact with used engine oil.
DProtect your skin by means of suitable agents (creams etc.) or wear protective gloves.
DClean skin which has been in contact with engine oil.
−Wash thoroughly with soap and water. A nail brush provides effective assistance here.
−Certain products make it easier to clean your hands.
−Do not use petrol, Diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or solvents as washing agents.
DAfter washing apply a fatty skin cream to the skin.
DChange clothing and shoes that are soaked in oil.
DDo no put oily cloths in you pockets.
Ensure that used engine oil is disposed of in the appropriate manner.
−Engine oil is a substance that endangers the water supply −
For this reason do not let engine oil get into the ground, waterways, the drains or the sewers.
Violations are punishable.
Carefully collect and dispose of used engine oil. Information on collection points can be obtained from sales
personnel, the supplier or the local authorities.

ated. Finding out the cause of damage is often more difficult than repairing the damage that occurred. We
therefore recommend that you obtain a precise description of the operating fault before removing and dis-
mantling components. Then use a process elimination (questions) to pinpoint the probable causes and in-
vestigate and eliminate these successively on the basis of the table and your own experience. This helps
to reduce repairs to the required scale and to counteract claims regarding “overeager” replacement of parts
and complaints about expensive work and down time.
Note:
The following list is conceived as an aid to memory for experts so that to causes of damage are overlooked
when dealing with faults. The precondition for this, however, is that the experts are familiar with the Repair
Manual for the engine as well as the accompanying Operating Instructions and the publication “Fuels, Lu-
bricants and Coolants for MAN Diesel Engines”.

General notes on engine overhaul
12
The service life of an engine is influenced by very different factors. It is therefore not possible to specify
certain fixed numbers of operating hours for general overhauls.
In our view, it is not necessary to open up and engine or perform a general overhaul
as long as the engine has good compression values and the following operating values have not changed
significantly in relation to the values measured on commissioning the engine:
DBoost pressure
DExhaust temperature
DCoolant and lubricant temperature
DOil pressure and oil consumption
DSmoke emissions
The following criteria greatly influence the length of the engine service life:
DCorrect power output setting according to the type of application
DTechnically correct installation
DInspection if installation by authorised personnel
DRegular maintenance in accordance with the maintenance schedule in the Service Booklet
DChoice and quality of lubricating oil, fuel and coolant
Note:
Only use coolants that comply with MAN regulations.
For basic information on the consumable materials, refer to the publication “Fuels, Lubricants
and Coolants for MAN Diesel Engines”. You can find the approved products on the Internet at:

Commissioning after engine overhaul

Pressurisation
It is extremely important for internal combustion engines (following the completion of repair work, i.e. in
their dry state) to be pressurised with lubricating oil before being recommissioned. This procedure can also
be used for ascertaining damage and its causes.
If engines are not pressurised, the risk of premature damage to bearing surfaces is very high because it
takes a relatively long period of time for the lubricating oil drawn in from the oil pan via the oil pump to
reach the individual bearings.
Such incipient damage need not necessarily lead to immediate bearing failure, but may impair the proper
functioning of the bearings and reduce their service lives.

Commissioning after engine overhaul

Pressurising an engine affords the following advantages:
DAll engine parts are lubricated before engine startup; a lubricating film can be built up inside the bear-
ings as early as after the first few rotations of the crankshaft, thereby preventing damage to the bearing
races.
DAny loss of oil, be it the result of excessively large bearing play or leaks from the crankcase or from
crankcase bores which may not be plugged, can be detected immediately. For this purpose, mount the
engine on an assembly dolly, remove the oil pan and install a suitable oil collector under the crankcase
in such a way that the bearings are visible
Performance of pressurisation:
At least 30% of the total oil quantity is forced from the pressurisation container into the engine oil circuit.
The operating pressure serves as the yardstick for the pressure to be forced in and must not be exceeded.
The pressurisation container is connected up to the engine oil circuit at the oil filter head screw plug).
