General safety instructions
2 General safety instructions

This chapter contains safety instructions that must be heeded from the planning phase onwards in order to
ensure optimum protection of personnel and safe, trouble-free engine operation.
Further safety instructions must be heeded when assembling and commissioning the engine,
see page 119.
2.1 Intended use

The engines are suitable for heavy, medium or light use, depending on model.
The type of use is defined by the expected operating hours per year and the percentage of operation under
full load.
Any use other than this is deemed non-intended use.
MAN shall not be held liable for any resulting damage. The risk is borne entirely by the operator.
Intended use also includes performing the specified service and maintenance work.
The engine is only allowed to be installed and commissioned by personnel who are familiar with it and
aware of the dangers.
Unauthorised changes to the engine exclude liability for resulting damage and injury.
Tampering with the injection and control system can affect the engine's performance and exhaust-gas char
acteristics, meaning that compliance with statutory environmental requirements is no longer guaranteed.
DANGER
Danger due to non-intended use
Any use of the engine that goes beyond and/or is different to the intended use can lead to dangerous
situations and invalidates the operating permit.
Therefore:
S Only use the engine in accordance with its intended use.
2.2 Engine modifications and conversions

To avoid danger and ensure optimum performance, the engine is not allowed to be modified, converted or
fitted with add-ons unless expressly approved by MAN.
If modifications are undertaken without written approval from MAN, MAN refuses to honour any warranty
and guarantee obligations for damage and defects caused by unauthorised modifications. Furthermore,
MAN shall accept no liability for damage caused by non-approved modifications.

Planning of engine installation
3 Planning of engine installation
3.1 Engine operation and engine environment

The engine environment is becoming increasingly important for the operational safety, reliability and avail
ability of a modern diesel engine.
Without exception, only highly charged engines with intercooling are used in order to achieve low fuel con
sumption with low exhaust-gas emissions.
Modern fuel injection systems consisting of precision components require very pure fuel and an exception
ally clean environment.
Due to the electronic systems, there are strict requirements regarding the ambient temperature and cleanli
ness.
Anti-pollution requirements that cannot be met by implementing in-engine measures alone mean that ex
haust gas aftertreatment is necessary.
The operational reliability of these engines is largely dependent on the proper functioning of the vehicle
components that have a major influence on the engine operating conditions.
These are:
- Cooling system
- Combustion air system and charging
- Exhaust system
- Fuel system
The correct configuration of these components is therefore very important. Hence the engine is to be
viewed as a component that interacts with the entire "ship" system rather than an isolated component.
When analysing operating faults, the functioning of these components and their influence on engine opera
tion must therefore be checked.
NOTE
Engine damage due to incorrect configuration of components in the engine environment.
Therefore:
S Adapt all components in the engine environment to the engine with respect to design and dimen
sioning .

Engine foundation
5 Engine foundation
5.1 Requirements of engine foundation

S The engine foundation in the ship must be constituted so that it can absorb the propeller thrust in both
directions and transfer it to the hull.
S It must be possible to safely and reliably absorb the weight of the drive line and all dynamic forces
caused by rough seas.
S Hull distortions caused by swell and loading are not allowed to be transferred to the engine. The engine
foundation is to be connected to the hull over as large an area as possible.
S The engine mounting base (engine foundation) (2) must be parallel to the engine mounting lower edge
(1) so that the resilient engine mounts do not cant. The engines are not allowed to be rigidly mounted on
the foundation.

5.3 Maximum permitted angle of inclination for engine

If the engine is to be installed at an inclination on its longitudinal axis, the maximum permitted angle of in
clination must not be exceeded. The max. permitted angle of inclination is the largest angle that can be ex
pected when the ship is underway, i.e. installation inclination plus max. trim angle of the ship.

V12 50.05801-0003 20_ 5_
NOTE
The angle β of 5_ to the counter-flywheel side is only permissible whilst the ship is moving.
Therefore:
S The installation inclination to the counter-flywheel side is 0_.

Resilient mounting
6 Resilient mounting
6.1 Selection of a suitable resilient mounting

The resilient mounts prevent the transfer of engine vibrations to the engine foundation and ship's hull.
Due to the design of the engine with respect to:
- Total mass
- Centre of gravity of engine
- Distribution of forces to the engine bases
Several requirements have already been established for the design of the resilient engine mounts.
The following points are also important, depending on the arrangement of the engine and gearbox (engine
flange-mounted to gearbox or stand-alone engine and gearbox) and due to the alignment required after in
stallation:
- Propeller force transferred to the engine foundation for engines with flange mounted gearboxes
- Easy height adjustment of the mounts
Due to these various requirements, the resilient mounts must be carefully adapted.
For this reason MAN has developed resilient mounts that are adapted in their design and their shore hard
ness to the different types of drive lines.
The following pages gives the assignment of the different resilient mounts to the arrangement of the en
gines and gearboxes and detailed information about the mounts.
The resilient mounts are included in the delivery depending on the order. The resilient mounts should al
ways be used. In no case should the engine be installed on the foundation without them.
NOTE
The resilient engine mounts cannot absorb vibrations caused by incorrect alignment of the drive line or
vibrations excited by the propeller.
Therefore:
S Carefully align the drive line, see page 137.

DANGER
Danger to life due to rotating machine parts
Therefore:
S For safety reasons, rotating machine parts (shafts, flanges) must be equipped with suitable accidental-
contact protection. Observe accident prevention regulations!

7.1 Torsional-vibration analysis

The forces of gas and inertia from the engine can cause vibration of the entire drive line. In order to de
termine the resonance in terms of position and strength and to avoid overstressing, a torsional-vibration
analysis is required.
MAN can do this for a fee. The required information must be compiled during the project phase using the
“Questionnaire for torsional vibration calculation on marine drive lines".
The torsional vibration analysis is to be performed after ordering; however before delivery of the engines at
the latest.
If the torsional vibration analysis is not performed by MAN, the information required (crankshaft torsional
oscillation diagrams) can be provided by MAN.
34
7.2 Flywheel and flywheel housing
NOTE
Perform a precise installation analysis, depending on project.
Therefore:
S Request an installation drawing with detailed dimensions of the flywheel and flywheel housing.
The following applies to all V8 and V12 engines:

Flywheel housing (1) with SAE1 connection for
flange-mounting a gearbox.
Flywheel (2) with I = 2.08 kgm2 for mounting a re
silient coupling.
The installation drawings provides information
about the dimensions of the flywheel housing (1)
and the flywheel (2) as well as about the type of
thread for mounting the coupling.
7.3 Resilient coupling
A resilient coupling (3) must be provided between

the engine and gearbox.
Its purpose is to isolate the engine and the drive
line (gearbox, propeller shaft, propeller) from vibra
tions. The high-frequency vibrations caused by the
ignition timing are therefore restricted to the engine
crankshaft.
Furthermore, the transfer of low frequency vibra
tions of the drive train to the engine is prevented.
The crankshaft axial clearance must be checked
before and after flange-mounting a gearbox, see
page 134.

Transmission of power by propeller shafts
8 Transmission of power by propeller shafts
8.1 Arrangement of the drive line

The drive line consists of the engine and a stand-alone, i.e. non-flange-mounted gearbox. In this case, the
engine and gearbox can be spatially offset (mostly V-drive) so that the power has to be transferred from the
engine to the gearbox via a propeller shaft. MAN offers two solutions for selecting the coupling for this drive
concept. These solutions are described below.
Here the aim is to:
S Prevent damage caused by impermissible vibrations on the engine, gearbox, resilient coupling and pro
peller shaft.
S Prevent the transfer of vibrations to the engine foundation and, therefore, vibrations in the ship so as to
help enhance on-board comfort.
8.1.1 Drive line consisting of engine, highly resilient coupling, propeller shaft
and gearbox
Power take-off on the engine is via a highly resilient coupling.

The highly resilient coupling connected to the engine's flywheel allows working angles of max. 3_.

8.1.2 Drive line consisting of engine, resilient coupling with flange bearing, pro

Power take-off on the engine is via a resilient coupling with flange bearing (see bottom of left page for illus
tration).
This concept requires more construction space due to the flange bearing, but allows a working angle of up
to 9_.

8.3 Flywheels
NOTE
Perform a precise installation analysis, depending on project.
Therefore:
S Request an installation drawing with detailed dimensions of the flywheel and flywheel housing.
Flywheel (1) with I = 1.20 kgm2 for mounting a

highly resilient coupling with propeller shaft con
nection.
Flywheel (2) with I = 2.08 kgm2 for mounting a re

silient coupling with flange-mounting outer mount.
The installation drawing provides information about
the dimensions of the flywheels (1) and (2) as well
as about the type of thread for mounting the coup
ling.

8.4 Couplings
DANGER
Therefore:
8.4.1 Highly resilient coupling
The highly resilient coupling (1) is mounted on the

engine flywheel. It is only possible to mount the
coupling if the engine is equipped with the correct
flywheel for mounting a highly resilient
coupling (see section 8.3).
It allows permissible propeller shaft-working
angles ß1, ß2 of 3°.
Definition of working angles ß1, ß2, see 8.5.1
For interface dimensions see installation drawing.
8.4.2 Resilient coupling with flange bearing
The resilient coupling with flange bearing (1) is

mounted on the engine at the factory. It is only
possible to mount the coupling if the engine is
equipped with the correct flywheel for mounting a
resilient coupling (see section 8.3).
It allows permissible propeller shaft-working
angles ß1, ß2 of 9°.
Definition of working angles ß1, ß2, see 8.5.1
For interface dimensions see installation drawing.

8.5 Propeller shafts
8.5.1 The working angle of a propeller shaft
The working angle ß of a propeller shaft is the an

gle between the propeller shaft centre axis and the
centre axes of the shafts on the input and output
side.
b1
b2
8.5.2 Basic guidelines for installing propeller shafts
If a simple universal joint or ball joint is turned uni

formly in flexed state, this results in irregular mo
tion on the output side.
This irregular motion can be compensated for by
connecting two joints to one propeller shaft. For
the complete compensation of the irregular mo
tions, the following requirements must be met:
S Identical running angles at both joints (ß1=ß2)
S Both inner joint forks must lie in a plane
S Input and output shafts must also lie in one
plane
Propeller shaft arrangement in Z-Form
Propeller shaft arrangement in W-Form
41
Exception:
In the case of a spatially-angled propeller shaft,
the input and output shafts do not lie in one plane.
To achieve a steady output motion, the inside pro
peller shaft forks must be twisted against one an
other so that they both lie within the angled plane
produced by their joints. In addition, the spatial
working angles must be the same.
42
Engine room ventilation
9 Engine room ventilation
9.1 Heating of the engine room

During operation, each engine transfers heat from its hot surface to the engine room air (convection) - com
parable with a radiator used to heat a room in a building. In addition to this, radiant heat is emitted into the
surrounding area, albeit at a much lower level.
Both of these effects can heat up the engine room to such an extent, that temperature-sensitive compon
ents (e.g. the electronics) can malfunction.
9.2 Temperature in the engine room

The maximum temperature in the engine room is limited to 60_C by the:
S Maximum permissible operating temperature of the electronic components
S Maximum permissible fuel temperature
NOTE
Damage to electronic components in the E-box
Therefore:
S Temperature outside the E-box: max. 60_C.
S Temperature inside the E-box: max. 70_C.
Power loss can be expected at intake air temperatures above 45_C.

The following equation provides a good rule of thumb for adequate engine room ventilation:
Engine room temperature = Ambient temperature + 15_C (max. 20_C)
Measured at the front and back of the engine room and at the air filters.
The temperature in the engine room is essentially dependent on the following boundary conditions:
9.2.1 Outside air temperature

The outside air temperature depends on the climate in the area of operation of the ship and the prevailing
weather conditions. In the Mediterranean Sea area air temperatures of up to 40_C are to be expected and
in the Persian Golf up to 50_C can be reached.
43
MAN industrial diesel engines D2868 LE4.. / D2862 LE4..
9.2.2 Engine operating conditions

1) Maximum speed / cruising speed of the ship
Naturally, at full-load and high power outputs, the temperature of critical components (charge air pipes,
compressor housing, exhaust manifold) is at its highest and thus the heat output is at a maximum.
However, this effect is compensated by the high combustion air requirement of the engines and that of
the associated high rate of air exchange in the engine room.
Example: two V12 - 1400 engines require 2 x 4470 m3/h combustion air, equivalent to 2.5 m3/s, at full
load. A typical engine room air volume of 50 m3 is therefore exchanged every 20 seconds. If the air inlet
and outlet openings are dimensioned adequately, the engine room temperature can not be much higher
than the outside air temperature.
2) Reduction of the maximum speed to crawling speed (e.g. to negotiate canals, waterways with speed
restrictions)
At low speed and load, the amount of combustion air required by the engines and, therefore, the
amount of fresh air flowing into the engine room is much lower.
Example: two V12 - 1400 engines requiring 2 x 750 m3/h combustion air at 1000 rpm and operation on
the propeller curve, equivalent to 2 x 0.20 m3/s.
The volume of air in the engine room is no longer replaced fast enough by external air flowing through
and can therefore quickly heat up. In addition, the hot engine components that were under full load
(charge air pipes, crankcase, oil pan) give up additional heat in the engine room.
In this operating phase it is thus necessary to provide forced air ventilation by means of fans.
9.3 Air requirement and air pressure in engine room

The air admission into the engine room is ensured by the cross-section and the design of
the air inlet openings.

The air requirement indicated in the table is the combustion air requirement per engine.
The air intake openings in the engine room have to be dimensioned to accept this volumetric flow.
44
9.3.1 Fans
Fans with large dimensions are required to ensure

that the entire engine room has a thorough circu
lation of fresh air.
The following criteria will help you in selecting ef
fective fans:
1. Fans with
24 V DC supply,
= 160 mm to 300 mm
2. Fans with
240 V AC supply from the ship's generator,
= 150 mm to 450 mm
Small fans attached to corrugated hoses are not
suitable as they do not provide a sufficient flow
rate and only guarantee a supply of fresh air in
their immediate vicinity.
Suction ventilators are recommended; these suck
the warm air out of the engine room so that fresh
air can flow in through the air inlet openings.
If the air pressure in the engine room exceeds the
surrounding atmospheric pressure, vapours, oil
mist, etc. can make their way into the living quar
ters accommodation on the ship and lead to bad
odours.

9.3.2 Air ducting, general
NOTE
Water ingress causes irreparable engine damage
Therefore:
S Sea foam and spray is not allowed to reach the engines.
The openings for air supply and air removal must

be arranged so as to ensure a flushing effect, i.e. 3 1
air must flow through the entire engine room.
Fresh air inflow into the ventilation system for
engine room ventilation
The fresh air should be removed at the highest
point possible on the side of the hull or above deck
downstream of the engine room (1).
Fresh air inlet to engine room
The air inlet to the engine room A should be as low 2
as possible between the ship's sides and the en
gines.
Air outlet from the engine room
The air outlet (3) should be situated opposite the 4
A
inlet, i.e. on the rear side of the engine room and
as high as possible. A

Combustion air system and charging
10 Combustion air system and charging

The combustion air and charging system is a complex and sensitive system that has been meticulously
designed during the course of engine development. Intervention in this system is neither required nor al
lowed when installing the engine.
The following requirements must be met by the ship's design in order to ensure correct functioning:
S Supply with an adequate amount of combustion air
S Efficient re-cooling of the combustion air in the intercooler
10.1 Combustion air and charging system diagram

The combustion air and charging system diagram illustrates these requirements.
S The combustion air must enter the engine unimpeded via the air filter (1).
S The combustion air must be sufficiently re-cooled by the intercooler (4).
(1) Combustion air intake via the air filter

(2) Combustion air compressed by the turbocharger
(3) Combustion air re-cooled in the intercooler
(4) Cooled combustion air supplied to the engine
(5) Cooled combustion air distributed to the cylinders
47
10.2 Combustion air requirement

In order to burn fuel completely and thereby achieve full power, the engine requires an adequate supply of
fresh air, the volume of which can be determined from the technical data provided in the appendix to this
manual.
Low pressure downstream of air filter

One indicator of an adequate supply of combustion air for the engine is the low pressure downstream of the
air filter. If the low pressure downstream of the air filter is too high, there is a lack of combustion air.
If the maximum permissible value is exceeded, the engine room ventilation must be checked,
see page 43.
The maximum permissible intake depression at

maximum power and rated rpm is indicated in the
technical data in the "Combustion air system" sec
tion.
NOTE
Exceeding the maximum permissible intake depression causes a lack of power, black smoke
and, as a consequence, engine damage
Therefore:
S If the maximum permissible intake depression is exceeded, the engine monitoring system trips an
alarm.
48
10.3 Combustion air temperature downstream of intercooler

The combustion air in the intercooler is re-cooled by the seawater. An adequate supply of seawater to the
intercooler is therefore extremely important.
For guidelines on designing the seawater cooling system, see the "Cooling system" chapter on page 59.
NOTE
Exceeding the maximum permissible combustion air temperature downstream of the intercooler
leads to engine damage caused by thermal overload
Therefore:
S If the maximum permissible combustion air temperature is exceeded, the engine monitoring system
trips an alarm.

50
Exhaust system
11 Exhaust system
11.1 Basic design concept
DANGER
Exhaust gases are toxic and hot
Therefore:
S The exhaust gas system must be completely gas-tight.
S The exhaust gas system must have fireproof insulation.
Never let water get into the engine via the exhaust
system. If the engine and exhaust gas outlet are
installed in a low position just above or below the
water line, an elbow followed by a descending ex
haust gas line (“gooseneck") (1) must be installed
in the pipe routing to prevent water entering the
engine when reversing or in the event of swell.
It is not permissible to provide a single common
exhaust system for several engines. In the case of
multi-engine layouts a separate exhaust system for
each engine is obligatory, so that with one engine
running, no exhaust gas can enter the other en
gine/s.
NOTE
If seawater enters the engine, it causes irreparable damage.
Therefore:
S Install an elbow in the exhaust gas line.
51
Exhaust system
11.2 Exhaust gas system structure
11.2.1 Exhaust gas outlet on the engine
In the case of both the V8 and the V12, the two

cylinder banks have a common exhaust gas outlet.
Exhaust manifolds for either rearward (1) or up
ward (2) exhaust gas outlet are available for both
models.
For flange dimensions for connecting the ship-side
exhaust gas system, see installation drawing.
11.2.2 Connecting exhaust system to engine

Resilient connecting elements that allow engine movements caused by the resilient engine mounting and
isolate the engine from the exhaust system must be installed between the engine and exhaust system.
Either heat-resistant hoses (corrugated hoses made of silicone) or bellow expansion joints can be used for
this purpose.
52
Exhaust system
11.2.3 Securing exhaust system
NOTE
Component damage due to force acting on the turbocharger
Therefore:
S Exhaust gas lines must be secured and supported so that no forces act upon the turbocharger.
The securing of the exhaust gas system depends on the basic design and concept:
The exhaust gas system (1) is secured to the en

gine and gearbox mountings using supports (2).
The exhaust gas system (1) is suspended on

height-adjustable brackets (3).
53
Exhaust system
11.2.4 Injection of sea water into exhaust system
After emerging from the heat exchanger, sea water

is injected into the exhaust pipe and mixed with the
exhaust gas.

11.2.5 Exhaust silencing
Exhaust silencing can be achieved either by

means of an exhaust outlet below the water line or
by installing exhaust silencers.
Exhaust outlet below water line
As well as noise damping,
an exhaust outlet below the water line normally
gives rise to an increase in exhaust backpressure.
A flow-optimised configuration of the exhaust out
let can reduce this effect.
However, there must be no incidence of low pres
sure here.
NOTE
Turbocharger damage due to exceeding the maximum permissible turbocharger speed
Therefore:
S Low pressure at the exhaust outlet leads to impermissible high turbocharger rpm and is therefore not
allowed.
If the exhaust outlet is located below the water line, incorporate a bypass to the exhaust pipe with an outlet
above the water line.
If this bypass is omitted, there can be a build-up of pressure in the exhaust system when the ship is station
ary or moving at low speed until this pressure exceeds the water pressure below the ship and then escapes
abruptly, resulting in intense vibrations.
55
Exhaust system
11.2.6 Insulation of the exhaust pipe

(applies for both wet and dry exhaust systems)
DANGER
Fire hazard due to hot surfaces coming into contact with diesel fuel and oil!
Risk of burns due to hot surfaces.
Therefore:
S Thoroughly insulate exhaust pipes with fireproof material.
Hot, non-insulated exhaust pipes heat up the en

gine room considerably.
The quantity of heat emitted increases by the sur
face temperature raised to the power of 4, e.g. sur
face temperature increases by 20% - the radiated
heat produced is doubled.
Requirements to be met by the insulation material:
- Flame retardant
- Fuel- and lubricant-impermeable
- The material must not release dust or fibres
into the atmosphere as these can be drawn
in by the engine
NOTE
Component damage due to exceeding the maximum permissible temperature of the electronic
components in the E-box.
Therefore:
S Do not let the engine room temperature exceed 60_C.
56
Exhaust system
11.3 Permitted exhaust back pressure
There are measuring points for exhaust back pres

sure (1) (M14x1.5) on the underside of the engine-
side exhaust manifold.
NOTE
Engine damage due to thermal overload
Impermissibly high exhaust gas temperatures lead to inadequate engine power, an increase in smoke
and, consequently, engine damage caused by thermal overload.
Therefore:
S The exhaust backpressure must be measured during commissioning.
S IPermissible exhaust back pressure at full load and rated rpm: 20-80 mbar.

Cooling system
12 Cooling system
12.1 Seawater cooling system

The seawater cooling system is used for both engine cooling and intercooling. A good supply of seawater is
important for achieving the full engine power within the permissible thermal load limits, especially for inter
cooling. The cooling systems for all MAN engines are configured for a seawater inlet temperature of up to
32_C (305 K).
(1) Heat exchanger

(2) Expansion tank
(3) Seawater outlet
(4) Seawater pump
(5) Seawater inlet
(6) Intercooler
59
Cooling system
12.2 Seawater inlet
The seawater inlet is through a “Scoop" (1) on the

underside of the hull.
In this way, the pressure created at the sea water
inlet while the ship is moving can be utilised to
supply the pump with sea water.
Scoop
The scoop inlet cross-section is determined by the
seawater inlet line diameter; however, it should be
as large as possible.
In order to achieve a flow-optimised shape, the
entire scoop should be manufactured as a single
casting.
The seawater enters through a grille with large
openings between the bars (2). To assist the inflow
into the seawater inlet line to the engine, the rear
side of the scoop (3) must have a rounded,
streamlined form so that water back-up does not
impair the supply of seawater.
In the case of two-part scoops, i.e. separate grille

(4) and seawater inlet line (5), there is a risk of wa
ter back-up on the rear side of the scoop if the two
components are not positioned correctly.
The same effect can arise in the case of one-part
scoops with rectangular grille designs.
Seawater inlet for jet drive
The water supply flow for the jet drive must not
hinder the seawater supply for the engine cooling
system.
60
Cooling system
12.3 Seawater supply components
Sea valve
Ball valves that are directly connected to the scoop
should be used as sea valves (1). 1
These can be swiftly closed in an emergency (pipe
break).
Furthermore, the valve's “open/closed" position is
immediately recognisable by the position of the
handle.
Seawater filter
A seawater filter is to be provided to protect the
intercooler, heat exchanger and seawater pump.
The seawater filter (2) should be equipped with a
sight glass, a removable cover and a removable
filter basket.
The following approximate values apply to the filter
basket: 2
- Mesh size max. 3 mm
- Surface approx. 10 times as large as the
inlet cross-section
Positioning of sea water filter:
If possible directly above the sea valve.
In any event the sea water filter must be situated
above the water level.
This allows the filter to be cleaned with the sea
valve open. Furthermore, with the sea valve open,
objects blocking the scoops can be removed
without having to lift the ship out of the water.
Seawater pipes to and from engine
The sea water lines (hoses) must be sufficiently
flexible to compensate movements of the engine
due to its resilient mounting.
61
Cooling system
12.4 Seawater pump
Delivery rate of the seawater pump (1):

For seawater pump delivery rates for the individual
engines, see "Technical data" from page 173.
Seawater inlet
The connecting line from the seawater filter is con
nected at the seawater pump intake fitting (2).
Seawater outlet
The ship-side piping is connected at the seawater
outlet (3). The seawater is injected into the ex
haust as system frequently, see page 54.
The minimum cross-section of the ship-side piping
must correspond to the connecting cross-section
on the engine.
For seawater inlet and seawater outlet connection
dimensions, see installation drawing.
62
Cooling system
12.5 Gearbox oil cooler
The coolant is supplied to the gearbox oil cooler

via the connection (4) on the seawater pump.
The coolant feed to the gearbox oil cooler marked
“out".
The connection for the cooling water return from
the gearbox cooler is to be installed by the shi
pyard on the ship-side piping.
There are 2 possibilities for this:
1. Installation in the seawater outlet downstream
of engine
2. Installation in the seawater injection in the ex
haust system
63
Cooling system
12.6 Choice of materials for pipework

Different metals are not allowed to be combined with each other at random. If “precious" and "non-pre
cious" metals are combined, the “more non-precious" of the two will corrode due to bimetallic corrosion.
This process is accelerated still further in humid or even salty atmospheres.
The more non-precious a metal, the more negative its electrical voltage potential. Two different metals
have an electrolytic voltage difference that wants to equalise itself when there is a connection between the
two metals (direct contact or conducting water). In the following list, metals are listed according to their
electrical voltage potential, starting with the “most precious" (platinum) and ending with the “most non-pre
cious" (magnesium).
The further two metals are apart in this list, the greater the problems to be expected by bimetallic corrosion.

The fuel is supplied from the tank to the engine-side fuel system (1) via the fuel pre-filter with water separ

For the engine to function correctly, the fuel filter with water separator (6) must be installed,
see page 66, and the ship-side fuel system piping must be correctly dimensioned and positioned,
see page 68.

Fuel system
13.2 Fuel pre-filter with water separator
NOTE
Engine damage due to water in the fuel.
Water in the fuel causes:
S Incorrect combustion
S Injection system damage
S Piston damage
S Irreparable engine damage
Therefore:
S Install the fuel pre-filter with water separator (MAN scope of delivery).
A fuel pre-filter with water separator (made by

MANN&HUMMEL) is supplied loose with the en
gine.
This must be installed in the fuel feed from the
tank to the engine.
The fuel pre-filter supplied by MAN must not under
any circumstances be replaced by a different
make.
The fuel pre-filter is designed as a reversible
double filter.

Fuel system
13.3 Arrangement of the fuel filter with water separator
NOTE
Long fuel lines and numerous elbows cause pressure loss in the
fuel system.
The permitted low pressure of max. 0.35 bar upstream of the fuel pre-filter must not be exceeded even
when the filters are contaminated.
Therefore:
S Attach the fuel pre-filter near the engine.
The fuel pre-filter with water separator (1) is not al

lowed to be mounted on the engine, as the engine
vibrations impair water separation.
If the fuel pre-filter is located in the engine room,
ensure that there is enough space for catching the
separated water (3) and for changing the filter cart
ridges (2) (H approx. 200 mm).
The changeover lever must be easily accessible
and freely movable.
13.4 Additional fuel pre-filter
An additional fuel filter (2) can be installed up

Propeller system

14.1 Fixed pitch propeller
14.1.1 Adjustment of propeller to ship resistance and drive power

The drive motor, propeller and hull form a system whose individual components interact.
The drive motor provides the drive power, the propeller transfers this drive power and the hull absorbs the
drive power.
Therefore the propeller must be suited to this system in terms of its design, diameter and pitch.
The power curves and driving resistance curves on the following diagrams are intended to show the gen
eral relationship. The curves do not refer to a specific engine or a specific ship.
14.1.2 Correctly adjusted propeller for the test drive
The propeller must be selected so that, when the

100
new ship is test-driven, an engine speed equival 4
ent to 102-104% of the rated rpm is reached (oper 90
ating point 4).
The ship must thereby be loaded as follows: 80

14.2 Load indication on MAN Monitoring Diagnosis System (MMDS) display
The relative engine load can be shown on the

Monitoring and Diagnosis System display as a %.
The term “load" describes an engine's torque at a
certain speed.
The engine always delivers as much torque as the
propeller can take at that moment.
The relative load is the relationship between the
currently required and maximum available torque
(full load) that the engine could provide.
The display in the figure shows an engine speed of
1200 rpm and a relative load of 80% (example).

This is calculated at a certain rpm delivered torque from the diesel injection quantity.
The relative value is determined by comparing with the maximum possible injection quantity correspond

Propeller system
Interpreting load indication

The reading of the load display can be clarified by the following example, selected at random.
Example 1:
The load indicator shows 37% at a speed of 1720 rpm (75% of rated rpm).
This means:
Because the propeller only takes 37% of the maximum possible torque at a speed of 1720 rpm, the engine
also cannot provide a higher torque. There is still a reserve of 63% available (e.g. for acceleration).
Example 2:
The load indicator shows 80% at a rated speed of 2300 rpm.
This means:
Because the propeller only takes 80% of the maximum possible torque at a speed of 2300 rpm, the engine
also cannot provide a higher torque. There is still a reserve of 20% available for an increase in the driving
resistance (e.g. due to loading of the ship or due to adjustment of the propeller).

Propeller system
14.4 Controllable pitch propeller

Controllable pitch propellers allow the engine to be operated at reduced rpm with full propeller pitch, i.e.
continually at overload speed and high load.
NOTE
The ship's speed must be controlled by the engine speed and not by the propeller pitch.
Therefore:
S Always equip the controllable pitch propeller system with a load control system.
14.4.1 Adjustment of controllable pitch propellers

The permissible operating ranges are shown on the performance map on page 69.
The controllable pitch propeller's pitch must be adjusted so that the engine's load acceptance corresponds
to the theoretical resistance curve of a ship with fixed pitch propeller (P~n³). The ship's speed must be con
trolled by the engine speed and not by the propeller pitch. The propeller pitch must therefore be adjusted as
a function of the engine speed.
In practice, the propeller pitch is zeroed rather than disengaging the gearbox when changing course and if
the ship is temporarily at a standstill. The propeller pitch must therefore be zeroed at low idle speed.
At higher rpm, the propeller pitch must be adjusted with the help of the relative load indicator from the
MMDS ("as new" condition operating range). The relative load at low idle speed must be viewed as a re
commendation. It is not necessary to depict this range exactly as specified. In the upper rpm range (80% to
maximum), the load acceptance must be adjusted as precisely as possible.
For complete documentation of propeller adjustment, the ship's speed should also always be recorded.

15.1 Cabin heater diagram

The control stand and the ship's quarters can be heated with a part of the heat generated by the engine in
the coolant. For this purpose part of the coolant is bypassed through a heat exchanger. The heat generated
there can be used to heat the cabins.

17.1 Starter and starter battery

In the case of dual-engine systems, independent wiring of each engines is required, i.e. the circuits of the
two engines must not be linked. The engine and gearbox must be “earthed" to the ship's potential by
means of ground cable. For a diagram showing potential-free wiring for a dual-engine system, see ap
pendix to this manual.
17.1.1 Starter
All MAN marine engines have two-pin starters. The

starter battery's positive cable must therefore be
routed to terminal 30 of the starter (1), the starter
battery's negative cable to terminal 31 of the
starter (2).
The starter can be mounted either on the left (1) or

on the right (2) of the engine.
17.1.2 Starter cable

Information about battery capacity, cable diameter and cable length can be found on page 82.
The negative cable must never be connected to the ship ground, the hull or to other components.

19.1.2 Internal throttle lever control system wiring

Example with two engines and two throttle levers (control stand and Flybridge)
NOTE
Incorrect wiring of the throttle lever control system and the throttle lever leads to data commu

The throttle levers and throttle lever control systems are connected using shielded M12 CAN bus cables.
When wiring, ensure that CAN bus cables are not crossed between the throttle lever control systems and
the associated throttle levers.
If the shielded CAN ‐cross-communication line
is connected to connector X13 on the starboard engine E-box, the other end must be connected to
connector X14 on the port engine E-box (or vice versa).
The termination resistors are to be connected as shown and activated via DIP switch, see page 86.
90
CAN bus cable

The connection between the throttle lever control system MPC and the throttle levers must be made using
shielded CAN bus cables. These cables are necessary in order to prevent the influence of electromagnetic
radiation (e.g. mobile phone) on the throttle lever control system. If the wiring is incorrect, this influence can
result in fluctuating specified speeds.
CAN bus connection lines and termination resistors

In order to prevent confusion with other CAN bus cables, look out for the metallic guide (1) the union nut
and the green marking (2) at the cable ends.
The following table lists the available connecting cables for:

Terminating resistors
The Bosch Rexroth throttle levers communicate with the throttle lever control system in the E-box in the en
gine room via a CAN bus. This CAN bus must always have a termination resistor at the start and end.
Terminator at start of bus in engine terminal box
The controller in the engine room has an internal terminating resistor (dip switch S1) on the mother board
which does not have to be set. Default setting: S1 set to the right.
S1: Switch, termination resistor, throttle lever
S2: Switch, termination resistor, cross-communication
NOTE
Malfunctions due to redundancy
The cross-communication CAN‐terminator is realised by the DIP‐switch S2 at "ON" on both sides. Only
in the case of systems with more than 2 engines must the DIP switch S2 for control of the centre en
gines be switched to "OFF".
Therefore:
S No termination resistor must be connected to any of the open connectors X13 (e.g. starboard) / X14
(e.g. port). Plug open connectors with caps.
Terminator at finish end of bus at throttle lever

The CAN bus length varies depending on the num
ber of throttle levers. In each case, however, the
CAN bus must be disconnected at the last connec
ted throttle lever. To this end, termination resistor
(1) MAN part no. 51.25435-0174 is used.

19.2 External throttle lever control system
19.2.1 General information

As an alternative to the internal throttle lever control system, it is possible to control the engine using an
external 4-20 mA current signal from an electrical throttle lever control system
(4mA = idling, 20mA = full load).
If the 4-20 mA signal fails, this is categorised as a defect in the SFFR, and the engine continues running at
idling speed.
The EDC‐speed signal is output potential-free by

the SFFR and can be used at the E-box (1) con
nector X9 (2) for engine synchronisation.

the external throttle lever control system must be supplied via X4 / pin 12 and pin 13.
The external throttle lever control system must be "earthed" to the ship's potential.
94
19.2.5 Voltage supply

The shipyard has the option of configuring the throttle lever voltage supply via
S Ignition tl. 15 (+) / 31 (-) or
S Battery tI. 30 (+) / 31 (-) or
S separate voltage supply.
Throttle lever control system voltage supply via ignition (tI. 15 / 31)
It is recommended to connect the throttle lever control system supply voltage to pin 12 (15+)
and pin 13 (31-) (max. 8 A) via the shipyard connection X4 (see figure on page 102).
This ensures that the throttle lever control system is also switched off when the ignition is switched off.
There is then no undesirable battery discharge.
Throttle lever control system voltage supply via battery (tI. 30 / 31)
When connecting the throttle lever control systems to the battery voltage, observe the safety measures
specified by the manufacturer.
If the current consumption of the throttle lever control system is max. 3 A in the continuous operating state,
terminals 30 (Bat+), 31 (Bat-) in shipyard connector X4 (see chapter 24) can be used for this.
For connection to this, see diagram on page 102, connector X4 pin 1 (31-) and pin 2 (30+).
Only use the battery belonging to the engine for connecting the voltage supply.
NOTE
Battery discharge and resulting starting problems
Therefore:
S Disconnect the external throttle lever control system from the battery using the master switch if the
ship is to be left for longer periods (several days).
Standby current consumption with 2 command initiators approx. 0.6 A

19.2.6 Start interlock
Start interlock function

The start interlock ensures that the engine cannot be started if the gearbox is engaged.
Start interlock connection

Option 1:
If the electric gearbox control is operated by a throttle lever control system (e.g. Bosch‐Rexroth) and is
routed via E-box connector X9, the start interlock must be assured by two different options on the
DIP‐switch “gearbox neutral".
- “Electrically" via relay K3 (ahead) and K4 (astern)
- “Mechanically, external" via connector X9, pin 7 and pin 8 by connection of a gearbox‐neutral switch
(NC). Additionally, switch DIP switch S4 in the E-box to the left "Neutral Gear Sensor".
In this case, pin 14 and pin 15 must be jumpered on connector X4
Option 2:
If the gearbox control is not routed via the E-box, we recommend connection via connector X4, pin 14 and
pin 15 (start interlock) for safety reasons.
These must be connected to an existing throttle lever control system's floating contact (NC).
96
19.2.7 EDC‐rpm signal for engine synchronisation

An rpm signal supplied by the EDC is provided free of potential at connector X9, pin 15 (-) 16 (+).

emergency stop button (1).
The emergency stop circuit is set up in parallel in
the electronic system and can be cascaded as re
quired.

21.1.3 Connection of a charge check lamp

A check lamp for monitoring the generator charge current can be connected at pin 5 of the shipyard con
nector X4 (for pin assignment, see page 102).
The lamp comes on when the engine is stopped. If the lamp comes on whilst the engine is running, the
generator charge voltage has failed. This could be caused by a defective generator, a torn V-belt or con
nection discontinuity at terminal 15.
L / D+ should be approx. 2 V DC when the engine is stopped and the ignition is on.
L / D+ should be y U‐Batt when the engine is running.
The voltage at terminal L / D+ can be read on the Service‐page of the CLC 6.5‐display under "GenD".
In the case of later generator designs, the governor is activated (excited) via terminal 15. Terminal L is only
used as a status indicator. This can be indicated by connecting a check lamp (connector X4, pin 5).
The check lamp comes on in the event of:
- Undervoltage
- Overvoltage
- Discontinuity at terminal 15
21.1.4 Connection of an acoustic warning device

A warning device (buzzer, horn) can be connected at pin 11 of connector X4 (for pin assignment, see page
102).
If the engine monitoring system MMDS trips an alarm, the warning device is activated. In the event of an
alarm, pin 10 and pin 11 at connector X4 are connected via an MMDS relay contact (NO‐contact). At the
same time, a group alarm‐relay is de-energised and closes an NC‐contact that is output via connector X4,
pin 9 and 10. Contact load of both relays 6 A.

22.2 MAN Monitoring and Diagnostic System (MMDS)

The MAN Monitoring and Diagnostic System MMDS is an alarm, diagnostic and monitoring system integ
rated in the E-box. The system has the following functions:
- Measured value acquisition (CAN, separate inputs)
- Measured value monitoring
- Alarm activation in the event of limit violation
In the event of an alarm, it ensures that the data are saved and is therefore an indispensable aid for the op
erator and for MAN Service when it comes to interpreting and remedying alarms and faults.
In the event of critical alarms, the power is reduced by around 30% to protect the engine.
The MMDS has a CAN‐bus output for controlling display systems on the control stands.
22.3 Colour display MMDS-CLC 6.5
The colour display MMDSCLC 6.5 (1)

(MAN part no. 51.27721-7133) is designed to show
a MAN marine diesel engine's sensor data and the
key gearbox parameters.
If a value reaches a critical level, a warning mes
sage or an alarm is tripped and shown on the dis
play, depending on importance. If the value ex
ceeds certain plausible limits, a sensor fault is
displayed. An integrated buzzer emits a warning
sound each time a new alarm message is issued.
This sound can be stopped at the push of a button.
There is a choice of seven languages to enhance ease of use: English, German, Italian, French, Spanish,
traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese. The data can be displayed using either metric or non-metric
units of measurement.
The front side of the display is categorised as protection class IP 67 and is therefore sufficiently watertight
to be used even on open bridges. A UV-resistant plastic film across the entire front protects the device and
the controls from environmental influences and dirt. The display unit's front panel has an integral photoele
ment which detect the ambient brightness and adjusts the background illumination automatically to suit the
conditions. If the ambient light decreases, the display brightness is reduced. If the ambient light increases,
the display brightness is increased. The brightness level of the automatic dimming can be adapted to indi
vidual requirements on the device. The transreflective display ensures that the data remain as legible as
possible in direct sunlight.
To supplement the system, an outwardly identical display for showing ship data is available. It can display
fuel level, range and many other values via a further CANbus.
108
22.3.1 Visualisation of engine data on colour display MMDS-CLC 6.5
Several graphic pages depict the recorded meas

ured values in the form of digital displays and cir
cular gauges. The numeric values on the digital
instruments are coloured to indicate their alarm
status.
Instrument page 1: rpm, fuel consumption, coolant
temperature, engine oil pressure
Instrument page 2: rpm, throttle lever position,

load, fuel pressures, charge-air temperature,
charge-air pressure
Instrument page 3: rpm, operating hours, engine

oil temperature, battery voltage, exhaust temperat
ures
109
Instrument page 4: rpm, trip consumption, gear oil

temperature, gear oil pressure, coolant pressure,

A separate alarm table lists all current alarms with

detailed information. For commissioning and ser
vice, there is a service page which can be called
up to view the engine and gearbox data as well as
the alarm statuses of all sensors at a glance.
Alarm page: the last alarm that occurred is at the
top, while non-acknowledged alarms have a flash
ing background.
22.4 Colour display MMDS-CLC 8.8
As an alternative to colour display MMDSCLC 6.5,

colour display MMDSCLC 8.8 can be supplied.
The engine display MMDS-CLC 8.8 TC has sev
eral instrument pages on which the key engine
data are shown on analogue circular dials or bar
graphs. The current measured value is also high
lighted in the instrument by an easily legible digital
display. Further analogue data are likewise shown
by means of a digital display. Limit value ranges
for preliminary warnings and alarms are marked on
the instrument scales with corresponding identific
ation colours.
The function keys on the right-hand side of the
touchscreen are used for navigation.
110
22.4.1 Wiring for colour display MMDS-CLC 6.5 and MMDS-CLC 8.8
The CAN connecting line for the display systems

and instruments is connected at E-box connector
X6 (1).
The CAN connecting line leads to the displays or,
if the VDO rev counter is fitted, to a T‐piece, also
see appendix to this manual from page 187 under
"System overview - CAN bus system".
The CAN line must always have a termination res
istor. The CAN‐termination resistor must always be
connected at the last device in the chain. If the last
devices in the chain are VDO circular gauges, the
termination resistor must be connected at the
T‐piece.

Override system
24 Override system
24.1 Function of the override system

Following an alarm that can lead to engine damage, the MAN Monitoring Diagnostic System reduces the
engine speed and, therefore, the engine power.
The override system allows restoration of the original engine power.
In dangerous situations, it is thus possible to activate the full engine power and, therefore, ensure the ship's
safety.
NOTE
Danger of engine damage if alarms are ignored.
Therefore:
S The override system is only allowed to be used in emergencies. Remedy the cause of an alarm.
MAN accepts no liability for engine damage caused by the use of the override system.
24.2 Override button installation
The override button (1)

(MAN part no. 51.25503-6002) is available as an

Safety instructions for assembly and commissioning
25 General safety instructions

This chapter contains information about residual risks and dangers if the engine is used as intended.
It includes generally applicable and compulsory safety instructions that help to ensure optimum protection
of personnel as well as safe and trouble-free operation of the engine.
Specific, action- and situation-related safety instructions are included subsequently prior to the particular
action or in the described chapter.
Failure to follow the handling and safety instructions in this Operator's Manual can lead to dangerous situ
ations.
25.1 Operator's responsibility

The engine operator is bound by the statutory work safety requirements.
The work safety instructions in this Operator's Manual must be followed. In addition to this, the safety, acci
dent prevention and environmental protection regulations applicable to the engine's area of application
must be complied with.
In particular:
S The operator must be familiar with the applicable industrial safety regulations and, in addition to this,
perform a risk assessment to determine any dangers caused by the specific working conditions at the
engine's operating location. The operator must then document the results of this risk assessment in a
set of engine operating instructions.
S For the entire time that the engine is in service, the operator must ensure that the operating instructions
they compile comply with the latest standards and adapt them as necessary.
S The operator must clearly regulate and stipulate the responsibilities for installation, operation, mainten
ance and cleaning.
S The operator must ensure that all personnel who handle the engine have read and understood the Op
erator's Manual.
The operator must also ensure that personnel are trained an informed of the dangers at regular inter
vals.
S The operator must provide the personnel with the required protective equipment.
S This Operator's Manual is to be kept very near to the engine and must be accessible to personnel who
are working on or handling the engine at all times.
The operator is responsible for ensuring that the engine is in a technically correct and operationally reliable
condition whenever it is operated.
The following therefore applies:
S Ensure that the maintenance work described in this Operator's Manual and in the Maintenance Manual
is performed in full and at the specified intervals, either by yourself or by a MAN Service workshop/au
thorised MAN agent.
S The operator must have all safety equipment checked for correct functioning and completeness on a
regular basis.
S The instructions in the Operator's Manual are to be followed in full and without exception!

Mounting the gearbox
27 Mounting the gearbox
27.1 Mounting a gearbox on the flywheel housing
The installation drawing gives details of the dimen

sions of the flywheel housing (1) and the type of
bolted connections for mounting the gearbox.
For bolt tightening torques, see page 147.
The crankshaft axial clearance must be checked
before and after flange-mounting a gearbox, see
page 134.
27.2 Changing a flywheel

The engines can be factory-fitted with 1 of 2 flywheel variants:
- Flywheel with I = 2.08 kgm2 for mounting a resilient coupling designed for flange-mounting a gear
box, see pages 35, or for flange-mounting an outer mount, see page 39.
- Flywheel with I = 1.20 kgm2 for mounting a highly resilient coupling designed for connecting a pro
peller shaft, see page 39.
If the flywheel is changed subsequently, it may only be changed by persons or workshops authorised and
certified by MAN.
133
Mounting the gearbox
27.3 Checking the crankshaft axial clearance
NOTE
Engine damage due to missing crankshaft axial clearance
Therefore:
S The designed crankshaft axial clearance of the engines must not in any event be reduced by the
flange-mounting of couplings or other components.
It is therefore imperative to determine the crank

shaft axial clearance by means of a dial gauge (2)
held on a magnetic stand before and after flange-
mounting externally mounted components (1). If
the results of the two measurements do not match,
or if the crankshaft springs back after moving,
check the mounting.
Carry out the measurement as follows:
S Remove the V-belt guard
S Secure the magnetic base of the dial gauge on
the engine mounting
S Attach dial gauge with pre-tension on the crank
shaft
S Push the crankshaft to the end position in the
direction of the flywheel housing
S Set the dial gauge to zero
S Pull the crankshaft to the end position in the
direction of the dial gauge and read off the dif
ference

Installing the resilient engine and gearbox mounts
28.2 Installation of the mounts
1. Place the drive line with mount on the founda

tion.
2. Remove the shipping lock (1).
3. Tighten the mounting bolts for the mount (3) to

360 Nm.
4. Tighten the M 20 mounting bots (2) to 300 Nm.
5. The mounts are height-adjustable up to

max. 10 mm (4). The height is adjusted using
the supplied size 50 open-end spanner. To
keep a reserve for readjustment, do not use the
max. height adjustment. Balance larger height
differences using shims.
136
Aligning drive line
29 Aligning drive line

The drive line (engine and gearbox) and the propeller shaft must be aligned so that the radial offset and
angle offset of all the components are within the specified tolerances.
NOTE
Damage due to vibrations and oscillations
Therefore:
S Check the alignment of the drive line every year or after around 3000 operating hours, then correct as
necessary.
29.1 Aligning an engine with mounted gearbox
29.1.1 Provisionally aligning drive line
S Put the drive line and resilient mounts on the

engine foundation using suitable crane lifting
tackle.
S Lift the propeller flange as far as possible at the
coupling flange.
Half the angle between the highest and lowest po
sitions of the coupling flange provides the correct
height for the gearbox output flange.
This ensures that the propeller shaft can be cor
rectly centred.
S Align gearbox output flange and propeller shaft
flange flat with the aid of suitable surfaces.
A resilient propeller shaft coupling between gear
box output flange and propeller shaft flange com
pensates minor offset and reduces vibrations.
137
Aligning drive line
29.1.2 Adjust the engine mount height adjustment
The mounts are pre-compressed at the factory by

the shipping locks. For this reason it is not neces
sary to preload the resilient mounts before the
alignment.
Adjust the height adjustment (1) for the engine
mounts (2), ensuring that the mounts compress
equally on both sides of the engine.
The maximum adjustment height for all mounts is
10 mm. This adjustment height cannot be ex
ceeded. Larger height differences must be bal
anced using shims.
The less the height is adjusted, the more room for
later adjustments.
138
Aligning drive line
29.1.3 Parallelism of flanges
Check that shafts are flush in advance

S Use a straight edge (3) at several points to
check whether the gearbox output flange (1)
and the propeller shaft flange (2) are flush.
3
Check for parallelism of flanges
S Bring the propeller shaft flange together with
the gearbox output flange.
S Insert the feeler gauge (4) with 0.5 mm leaf
between the flanges, screw in one coupling bolt
and tighten slightly.
S Pull out the 0.5 mm leaf.
S Check the gap all round at 90_, 180_ and 270_
with 0.58 mm and 0.4 2 mm leaf (tolerance 1 2
must not exceed 0.08 mm)
S Remove the bolt and apply a mark on the gear
box output flange.
S Turn the gearbox output flange through 90_,
180_ and 270_ and repeat the check. 4
If the measurement produces a reading of more
than 0.125 mm, then the propeller shaft flange is
running with excessive lateral runout (wobble).
139
Aligning drive line
29.1.4 Checking the gearbox output and propeller shaft for radial offset
Radial offset means that the centre lines of

2 related flanges are parallel but are off centre.
(1) Flange (e.g. gearbox output) 1
(2) Flange (e.g. propeller shaft) 2
Radial offset: X = max. 0.5 mm

Testing for radial offset: The dial indicator is in
stalled in one of the shaft ends. Connect both
flanges but not fully. To do this, screw in one bolt.
The face sides of the flanges must not touch.
The check is repeated four times with an angular
spacing of 90_ between each check.
The display must not deviate by more than
2 x 0.5 mm = 1 mm.

Checking the angle offset: The dial gauge is at
tached to one of the shaft ends. Connect the two
flanges by turning as far as they will go without
forcing them. To do this tighten a screw. However, x + max. 0.1 mm
the faces of the flanges may not come into con
tact.
The check is repeated four times with an angular
spacing of 90_ between each check.
The maximum permissible angle offset may not be
exceeded at any measuring point.
The alignment of the drive line must be checked
after the ship has been launched.
If readjustment is necessary, make sure that all
the mounts have a uniform bearing function.

Assembling propeller shafts
30 Installing propeller shafts
NOTE
Vibrations in the power train - Damage on spherical plain bearings and splines
Incorrectly attached propeller shafts increase rather than balance the irregularity at the output.
Therefore:
S Assemble the propeller shafts as indicated by the manufacturer.
When putting together the propeller shaft halves, ensure that the markings on the splined shaft and splined
hub (arrows) are opposite each other.
Arrange the propeller shafts so that the spline is as well protected against dirt and moisture as possible.
Generally this means installing as per the diagram below, where the profile seal points downwards so that
any dripping spray flows away from the spline.
The propeller shafts must not be separated at the splined section and must not be swapped with each
other. Otherwise the balance of the shafts will be considerably affected. For this reason the balance
weights are also not to be removed.

31 Connecting the fuel lines
NOTE
The smallest particles of dirt in the fuel system can lead to total failure of the injection system.
Therefore:
S Always maintain conditions of absolute cleanliness when working on the fuel system.
S Fuel connections must be plugged with caps.
31.1 Securing the fuel pre-filter
The fuel pre-filter with water separator (1) is not

allowed to be mounted on the engine, as the en
gine vibrations impair water separation.
There must be adequate space available (H ap
prox. 200 mm) for catching the separated water (3)
and for changing the filter cartridges.
Mounting bolts (2): M10 hexagon bolts or M10 pan
head screws, each with washers DIN 125-10.5.
31.2 Connecting the fuel pre-filter
To connect the fuel hoses of the tank - fuel pre-fil

ter and the fuel pre-filter - engine, screw fittings are
delivered with the equipment; these can be com
bined depending on the installation situation.
The fuel inlet is marked “IN" at the fuel pre-filter.
The fuel outlet can be positioned by choice either
on the same side as the fuel inlet or on the oppos
ite side. The respective free outlet opening is to be
provided with a blanking screw.

Important notes on commissioning
34 Important notes on commissioning

Correct commissioning in the first instance is of key importance for the operational safety and reli
ability of the engines. If commissioning is performed incorrectly, engine damage will be the inevit
able consequence.
The procedure comprises several steps:
S Thorough inspection of the installation
S Filling of the engine with engine oil, marking the oil dipstick
S Filling the engine with coolant, bleeding the cooling system
S Starting the engine
S Performing a test drive, including measuring and recording important data
Performing initial commissioning requires specific know-how on the part of the personnel as well
as specific equipment.
Initial commissioning may therefore only be performed by persons or workshops authorised and certified by
MAN Nuremberg (Marine Engines department).
NOTE
Incorrectly performed initial commissioning results in operating faults which lead to the engine
becoming a total write-off.
Therefore:
S Commissioning is to be performed solely by personnel authorised by MAN Nuremberg (Marine Engi
nes department).

end, crank the engine until the oil pressure increases without letting the engine start.
This test requires the MAN‐cats II diagnostic system. Use the MAN‐cats II diagnostic system to perform a
compression test. During this test, a helper monitors the display device in the control stand. The colour dis
play MMDS-CLC 6.5 shows the oil pressure on instrument page 1, see page 109.

Cooling system
36 Cooling system
The engine cooling system must be filled with a mixture of potable tap water and antifreeze based on ethyl
ene glycol or corrosion inhibitor.
For coolant preparation, see the publication "Fuels, Lubricants and Fluids for MAN industrial and marine
diesel engines".
ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE
Do not spill coolant during filling. Do not allow coolant to leak into the ground or into watercourses.
36.1 Filling and ventilation of the cooling system
During filling, the cooling system must be bled

through the bleed screws (1) at the liquid-cooled
exhaust turbochargers and at the exhaust
manifold (2).
36.1.1 Engine installed inclined towards flywheel side
The bleed screws (1) and (2) are below the coolant
level in the expansion tank (4).
1. Undo the bleed screws (1) and (2).
2. Slowly pour in coolant at the filler neck on the
expansion tank (3) until coolant emerges from
the bleed screws without bubbles.
3. Screw in the bleed screws (1) and (2) one after
the other, then screw in the cap (3) up to the
stop, but do not tighten it.
Overtightened caps can not be opened again.
4. Leave the engine running at 1200 rpm for
around 15 minutes.
5. Stop the engine.
Continue with Step 13, see page 168.
167
Cooling system
36.1.2 Engine installed horizontally
The bleed screws (1) and (2) are above the

coolant level in the expansion tank (4).
In this case, complete filling and bleeding of the
cooling system is only possible if the cooling sys
tem is filled via the drain/filler valve (5) on the side
of the crankcase.
This is done with the help of a pump (6):
1. Undo the bleed screws (1) and (2).
2. Open the cap on the filler neck (3).
3. Connect the filler hose from the pump (6) at the
drain‐/filler valve (5).
4. Switch on the pump and fill the cooling system
until coolant emerges at the filler neck (3).
Switch off the pump.
5. Screw in the cap (3) up to the stop, but do not
tighten it.
Overtightened caps can not be opened again.
6. Switch the pump back on until coolant emerges
at the bleed screw (1) without bubbles.
7. Switch off the pump and tighten the bleed
screws (1).
8. Switch the pump back on until coolant emerges
at the bleed screw (2) without bubbles.
9. Switch off the pump and tighten the bleed
screws (2).
10.Screw off the pump filler hose and then screw
on and tighten the cap at the
drain‐ / filler valve (5).
11.Leave the engine running at 1200 rpm for
around 15 minutes.
12.Stop the engine.
13.The coolant level at the expansion tank sight
glass (7) must be in the middle of the sight
glass.
14.Before the next commissioning (with the engine
cold), check the coolant level and top up as ne
cessary. To top up, carefully undo the cap (8) -
bleed the pressure - then open it carefully and
top up the coolant.
The turbochargers must not be vented while the
cooling system is being topped up.
Keep repeating this procedure until it is not pos
sible to top up the coolant any more.
168
Cooling system
36.2 Seawater pump

The seawater pump is an impeller pump. It must be filled with water before the engine is started.
36.3 Opening the cooling system with the engine at operating temperature
If the cooling system is opened with the engine hot

from operation, this will cause a loss of pressure in
the cooling system.
As a consequence, the engine monitoring system
MMDS can trip the alarm “pressure in the expan
sion tank" if the engine is then operated. This
alarm leads to a reduction in engine power.
In order to enable operation of the warm engine
after the cap is open without an alarm, there must
be an upstream pressure of 0.7 bar in the cooling
system.
To achieve this, a pressure valve À is mounted on
the expansion tank to enable connection of a com
mercially available air pump, which must be used
to increase the system pressure to 0.7 bar.

37 Starting and stopping the engine
37.1 Preparations for starting the engine
37.1.1 Checking the lube oil and coolant fills
NOTE
Engine damage due to missing fuels, lubricants and fluids
Before starting the engine, ensure that:
S Lube oil is added, see page 161
S Coolant has been added, see page 167
S The seawater pump has been filled with water
37.1.2 Filling with diesel fuel

For fuel specifications, see the publication "Fuels, Lubricants and Fluids for MAN Industrial and Marine
Diesel Engines".
DANGER
Fire hazard due to diesel fuel
Diesel fuel is highly inflammable.
Therefore:
S Do not smoke within the danger zone when refuelling.
No naked flames or sources of ignition are permitted.
S Only refuel when the engine is stopped.
S Ensure cleanliness.
S Do not spill any diesel fuel.
ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE
Do not spill any diesel during filling. Do not allow diesel fuel to leak into the ground or into watercourses.
37.1.3 Bleeding the fuel system
Open the shut−off valves between the engine and

the tank.
S Screw on the hand pump primer (1)
S Actuate the hand pump primer (1) until you
hear the overflow valve open
S Screw the hand pump primer (1) back in and
tighten it

Starting and stopping the engine
37.2 Starting the engine

There are two alternatives for starting and stopping the engine:
1. An ignition lock
2. A button (without ignition lock)
In this case, the ignition is switched on and off via the surge relay (K9) using a button‐. The engine is
likewise started using a button (engine start‐button).
The engine can be started and stopped in the en

gine room. The ignition must be activated from the
control stand beforehand.
(1) Button for switching the ignition on and off
(2) Button for increasing the engine speed
(3) Button for reducing the engine speed
(4) Button for starting the engine
(5) Emergency stop button
(6) Observation window
(indication of EDC faults, SFFR faults and
MMDS alarms)
37.3 Stopping the engine
Stopping with ignition lock Stopping with button (ignition on/off)

1. Move the ignition lock to position 0: 1. Press the ignition button once:
the engine stops the engine stops
2. Wait a few seconds (after-run test) 2. Wait a few seconds (after-run test)
3. Battery master switch to "off" 3. Battery master switch to "off"
NOTE
Non-compliance with the stopping procedure leads to fault entries in the fault memory
(EDC / SFFR / MMDS) and can lead to a reduction in the engine speed.
Therefore:
S Switching off the EDC‐engine control voltage supply with the battery master switch is not permissible
when the ignition is switched on.

38.2 Technical lexicon
CAN, developed by Bosch in the early

1980s, specially developed for fast serial data in
terchange between electronic control units in motor
vehicles. With a CAN, each message to be trans
mitted is clearly identified by a message code.
In contrast to subscriber addressing, it is the mes
sage itself rather than the control unit that is ad
dressed. As a consequence, a message is basic
ally available for receipt by every CAN bus
subscriber. The transfer of a message depends
solely on the decision of the control units. It is
therefore possible for a message from one, several
or all control units to be transferred for further pro
cessing.
CR, common rail. Whereas conventional diesel

models with direct injection build up the fuel pres
sure from scratch for each injection, the common-
rail system builds it up regardless of the injection
sequence so that it is permanently available in the
fuel line. Pressurisation and injection are two sep
arate processes. This technology allows injection
on demand, which has a favourable effect on fuel
consumption and exhaust emissions.
EDC, Electronic Diesel Control. This system has a

positive effect on fuel consumption, economy,
emissions and noise.
MFR, engine management computer, processes

the engine's electronic signals.
