3 Preparations for initial commissioning Initial start-up Operation Never fill the fuel tank while the engine is running. Ensure cleanliness. Do not spill fuel. Additional venting of the fuel system by a 5 minute trial run at idle speed or on low load is absolutely essential. z The fuel low pressure system must be vented be- fore the first start-up after filling with the manualy supply pump. Only use clean commercially available brand diesel fuel. Observe fuel quality ( 34 ). Use summer or winter-grade fuel, depending on the ambient temperature. © 2009 25 Pour in fuel Low lubricating oil level and overfilling lead to engine damage.
The engines are generally supplied without lubricating oil filling. Select lubricating oil quality and viscosity before filling. Order DEUTZ lubricating oils from your DEUTZ partner z Fill the engine with lubricating oil via the lubricat- ing oil filler neck. z Observe the lubricating oil filling level ( 72 ). Fill with engine lube oil z Remove engine corrosion protection z Remove any transport devices. z Check the battery and cable connections and mount if necessary. z Check belt tension ( 53 ). z Have the engine monitor or warning system checked by authorised personnel. z Check the engine mounting. z Check that all hose unions and clips fit properly.
z Check the fuel pre-filter and main filter and change if necessary. z Check the intake air cleaner (if available, main- tain according to maintenance indicator). z Drain lubricating oil and condensation water from the charge air cooler. z Fill with engine lube oil. z Fill the coolant system ( 72 ). The following additional work must be carried out on generally overhauled engines: (Maintenance schedule E 10)
