Engine transportation
When the diesel engine is transported, should lift the engine by engine hooks . Moving
the engine, pay more attention to avoid damage the engine appearance , accessories , oil
pipes , panel , etc .
When long distance transportation is necessary, the air filter and silencer should be
dismantled, use plugs and plastics to seal the air intake and exhaust hole , water pump inlet
and outlet hole , fuel inlet and outlet hole . If necessary, pack the engine properly and
transport.
Installation
1. The diesel engine should install on horizontal, firm surface. When connected with
marine gear box, marine generator or other transmission equipment, its axes angle
must be adjusted and controlled in 0.13mm . The flywheel and connected axes must
keep 1.0-3.0mm clearance, to avoid damage the engine when affected by the reaction
of the axes.
2. When install the marine engine, allow 8°vertical gradient , the same gradient of
power output exes and impel axes with the parallel should no more than 0.08mm .
Users should check , measure and adjust it , to avoid big vibration cause by out of
center , then output descend and exes、flexible pin and gear tooth irregular wear ,
cause engine body and ship body.
3. User can change the engine crankshaft head independently in the allowed output , to
bring the ship necessary accessorial equipment , such as fire pump set 、fish tackle
etc . However should install transmission exes and clutch between the marine engine
and transmission equipments, not allow accessorial equipment and crankshaft be
drive by transverse reaction, to avoid damage the crankshaft.
4. Engine exhaust pipe can not be too longer, also should reduce the turning, the corner
