- Ensure valves 1 and 2 on the heat-exchanger supply circuit are blocked open and the valve 3 is
closed (see photo below).

No other valves may be incorporated into this cooling circuit either upstream or downstream.
x - Clean the filter after each test.
x
- Check that the water flows correctly after the heat-exchanger, the hydraulically-controlled valve is
correctly opened and all hydraulic connections are in a good state of repair.
x
- Check the coolant level with the engine switched off and cold. Opening the cap when the engine
is hot could result in severe scalding due to splashing liquid. Always seek medical attention
immediately in such a case.
x
- Check the oil level with the engine switched off and cold before each test. The oil contributes
towards the heat exchange process and provides lubrication.
x x
- Check that the exhaust pipe is not blocked (nests) and it is protected against the entry of rain
water.
x
- Pay attention to parts subjected to vibrations (turbo-compressor, filters, exhaust, pipes, etc…) as
the tightness of these elements may vary. If parts are not securely fastened, remedy the problem or
contact the manufacturer’s agent. Special attention must be given to the manual stoppage system
which must slide effortlessly and must not remain blocked in the stop position.
x
- Check for leaks or retighten the injectors. If the diesel supply or return pipes are removed, ensure
they have not been accidentally switched.
x - The oil filters must be replaced once a year.
x
- The diesel tank must be topped up with fuel compliant with the engine specifications. Special
attention must be paid to ensure there is no water present in the system. If this is the case, the
tank and pipes will need to be drained, rinsed and flushed out immediately.
x - The fuel filters must be replaced at least once a year.
x
- If the engine runs out of fuel or the fuel system is disconnected, flush the entire fuel circuit as
indicated in the engine instructions.
x - The air filters must be replaced at least once a year.
x
- Check the drive belts and replace them if the slightest traces of wear or aging are noted,
otherwise, replace them every 2 years.
x
- Check the engine manufacturer’s documentation for major maintenance work required (tappets,
valves, head gasket, etc…) to be carried out at least once a year.
x
- Check that the batteries charge and the electrolyte level every week (top up with distilled water
when necessary) and ensure the batteries are replaced once a year.
x
- Always check that the re-heater functions correctly before starting the engine (the engine
temperature must be higher than 20 °C). Replace the re-heating element every year (we
recommend the storage of spare parts, a thermostat and a heating element for maintenance
purposes).
x
- The heating element must be disconnected when the coolant is drained and the engine
flushed before reconnecting.
x
- Check the vibration and temperature levels regularly. In case of a problem, contact the engine
manufacturer’s dealer.
x - Check alignment of couplings regularly and at least once a year.
x
- A slight leak is imperative around the packing gland to guarantee lubrication and cooling of the
seals (refer to the corresponding pages in the instructions for possible adjustment).
x
- Oil leaks around certain component seals are possible: this is due to dilatations. These leaks
must be wiped away to avoid soiling of the equipment.
x - The room must be kept clean at all times; clean away all stains and check their origin.
x
- Do not store inflammable materials in the engine room (with the exception of approved fuel
supplies) and keep the room locked.
x
- An annual servicing is obligatory. It must be carried out by a qualified technician approved by
FLOWSERVE.
x
- The hydraulic hose between the heat-exchanger supply circuit and the heat-exchanger must be
replaced every 5 years.
x - The fuel hydraulic hoses (supply and Return) must be replaced every 5 years.
