1. General
The maintenance, which must be done on the engine at regular intervals, is described
in the Maintenance Schedule 0380−1. The maintenance intervals are related to the
mode of operation, the power and the quality of the fuel used. For more data, refer to
the Maintenance Schedule.
The maintenance intervals can be extended or decreased.
Note: The recommendations related to safety procedures and maintenance
given below are mandatory. All other safety recommendations not given
here must also be obeyed.

2. General Safety Precautions


The general safety conditions are as follows:
D All personnel must know the fire fighting procedures.
D All personnel must know the health and safety data and environment protection
data related to the operation and maintenance of diesel engines.
D All personnel must know the dangers, functions and operation of cranes and
lifting devices.
D The safety officer must make sure that all precautions are done to prevent
dangerous conditions.
D The operator must select a supervisor to give work tasks to each person who
does maintenance work.
D Make sure that fluids that drain or are released cannot cause explosions, fires or
accidents during maintenance. Keep the engine and the areas around the engine
clean to help prevent accidents and increase the quality of the work.
D Before you start maintenance on the engine, make sure that if necessary, the
pressure in the related systems is released and fluids are drained. Make sure
that you record the pressures and quantities.
D Some media, e.g. fuel, oil are very flammable, thus you must keep such media
away from fire, hot parts etc.
D Make sure that personnel do not smoke in the engine room.
D To prevent injury, make sure that all surfaces where personnel can walk or stay
do not have oil, fuel etc and are kept clean and dry.

Safety Measures and Warnings

3. Precautions before the Start of Maintenance


CAUTION
Damage Hazard: Do not use water or cleaning fluid to clean the
electronic components and control boxes on the engine and the
rail unit. Damage can occur if water or cleaning fluid goes into
these electronic components or control boxes.

CAUTION
Damage Hazard: When electrical welding is done near or on the
engine, electromagnetic fields or peak voltage can occur. This
can cause damage to the electronic components of the Engine
Control System.

Before you do electrical welding, you must do the procedure that follows:
1) Stop the engine.
2) Set to off the electronic system. After one minute, you can continue.
3) If the welding area is in a radius of two meters from an electronic module and/or
a sensor, disconnect the modules and/or sensors.
4) Close the covers of all electronic boxes and apply protection to the cables,
sensors, etc. to prevent damage from sparks and heat.
5) Use a conductive material connected to earth to give protection to the check and
control units.
6) Make sure that the welding cable goes directly to the welding point without
unnecessary loops. Also, make sure that the welding cables are not parallel to
cables of the electronic units.
Before you start the maintenance on the engine, specially the running gear, do the
procedure that follows:
1) Close the shut-off valves on the starting air bottles.
2) Close all the shut-off valves in the control air supply unit.
3) Open the drains on each starting air bottle to release all the pressure.
4) On the starting air shut-off valve, operate the handwheel to move the shut-off
valve to the position CLOSED.
5) On the main starting air pipe, open the vent and drain valve. Keep the vent and
drain valve in the open position until maintenance is completed.
6) On the starting air shut-off valve, open the vent valves. Keep the vent valves in
the open position until maintenance is completed.
7) Open all indicator valves on the cylinder covers. Keep the indicator valves in the
open position until maintenance work is completed.
8) Engage the turning gear and lock the lever. The gear pinion must be in the
engaged position.
Note: If the engine was stopped because the running gear or bearings have
become too hot, do not open the crankcase doors before an elapsed time
of 20 minutes.
Note: During all engine operations (short or usual), the crankcase doors must
be locked with the clamps.
Note: Where carbon dioxide (CO2) is used to extinguish a fire in the engine,
there is a risk of suffocation. Make sure that all related spaces have good
airflow to remove all CO2 gas before

4. Special Safety Procedures


WARNING
Injury Hazard: After engine operation in gas mode, gas fuel can
stay in the gas inlet pipes. There is a risk of explosion. You must
replace the gas fuel with inert gas (e.g. nitrogen). For the
procedure, refer to the documentation of the gas valve unit
manufacturer.

WARNING
Danger: Gas Hazard. Poisonous gas can stay in the cylinder liner.
There is a risk of suffocation. You must put on protective
equipment, a respirator and a harness before you do work in
cylinders where gas can stay.

WARNING
Injury Hazard: Make sure that no personnel and components are
in the danger areas (crankcase, piston underside, propeller shaft,
propeller coupling).

WARNING
Injury Hazard: Before you operate the turning gear, make sure
that no personnel are near the flywheel, or in the engine.

A safety person must be in position outside the engine when personnel do work inside
the engine. If necessary, the safety person can give the applicable aid.
Personnel who do work in the engine must put on the correct safety equipment.
Safety equipment to prevent suffocation must also be included.
The permitted load capacity of the equipment that follows must be sufficient for the
parts to be lifted:
D The engine room crane.
D Lifting tools, ropes, slings and chains.
You must make sure that the lifting equipment is correctly attached to the the item (i.e.
balanced to make sure that the equipment does not tilt or fall).
For more data, refer to 0012−1 and 0360−1.
Use wood, leather or guards between the item and the rope or chain to give
protection to sharp edges, mating faces etc.
Always put on gloves, a face shield and safety goggles when you operate hydraulic
tools.
Keep your hands away from ropes, slings and chains that have tension. Do not go
under loads that hang.
Parts removed from the engine must be safely attached in the engine room to prevent
movement.
Make sure that when engine components are removed, covers are put in position
over the openings.
Note: For more data, refer to the Operation Manual, 0210−1 Safety Precautions

Safety Measures and Warnings

5. Recommendations
1) Read the data in 3301−1 Work Platform.
2) Do the work carefully. Make sure that all parts and equipment are clean. Use only
the applicable tools and equipment for the maintenance tasks. For data about the
tools and equipment, refer to 9403−5 Tool List.
3) Make sure that the tools and equipment are serviceable before you use them.
4) Calibrate gauges before you use them. Also, calibrate gauges at regular
intervals.
5) Do regular checks of hydraulic tools to make sure they are serviceable.
6) Apply protection to the running surfaces and sealing faces of parts that were
removed to prevent damage.
7) When pipes are removed, dirt can go into the openings. Apply protection to the
openings in the pipe and the removed item.
8) Before you start the engine, make sure that repaired parts, replaced parts, or
parts that had an overhaul are serviceable.
9) Make sure that all pipes that were removed and installed are tightened correctly.
10) Do regular checks of parts that move. If the maximum permitted value is the
same or more than that given in 0330−1 Clearance Tables, the parts must be
replaced.
11) Use spare parts from the spares stock on board. When you order new parts, get
the code numbers and description from the Spare Parts Catalog.
12) When you tighten nuts, bolts or screws, make sure that you do not cause
damage to the thread. Turn the nut, bolt or screw with your hand until the metal
parts touch. Use only the specified lubricants on the threads.
13) Where torque values are shown, refer to the data given in 0352−1 and 0352−2.
14) Devices that lock nuts, bolts etc must be correctly installed. Use lockwire, tab
washers and lock plates once only.
15) For threads of screws and studs in very hot areas, (e.g. exhaust pipe or
turbocharger) apply a lubricant that is resistant to high temperatures before
assembly. This will help when it becomes necessary to remove these items.
16) Always replace O-rings during an overhaul of components, or during removal and
installation procedures. The O-rings must be of the correct dimensions in
accordance with Wärtsilä Services specifications.
17) The installation of piston sealing rings and rod seal rings must be done carefully
to prevent deformation and distortion. Before installation, put the rings into very
hot water.

1. General
WARNING
Injury Hazard: Do not stand below a load that hangs. If the load
falls, injury to personnel can occur.

The permitted capacities of the engine crane, lifting tools, ropes, chains, eye bolts,
etc. must always be related to the weights of the parts to be lifted (see also Masses
(Weights) 0360−1).
Note: The permitted load capacity (maximum load) in kg is related to the Work
Load Limit (WLL).
For the removal and installation of engine components or their movement, use only
the applicable tools that are in a satisfactory condition. Ropes that have become worn
and tools that have damage are defective and must be replaced.
For safety and correct handling of the engine room crane, lifting tools or movement of
loads, the sequence that follows is recommend:
1) Find the weight of load.
2) Find the centers of gravity.
3) Use the applicable attachments.
4) Attach and remove the applicable lifting equipment.

2. Lifting Equipment

2.1 Wire Rope Slings


The WLL of the wire rope slings is given below their names in Tools List 9403−5.

2.2 Span-sets
Span-sets have the advantage of easy and simple handling. The code and the color
usually show the maximum permitted load. Loops and knots in the span-sets
decrease their lifting capacity by one third.

2.3 Eye Bolts and Eye Nuts


Only those eye bolts and eye nuts that are in accordance with DIN 580 and
582:2003−08, or that have the same or are more than these values must be used.
This includes the safety factor.
All calculations for components and tools where eye bolts and eye nuts are used are
related to the given standards.

Note: The data given in Table 1 above are related to DIN 580 and 582:2003−08.
The eye bolt or the eye nut:
D Is fully turned in or screwed down
D Is fully on the seating surface
D Had a check for damage (e.g. corrosion, deformation) before use
D Note 1) Full load is only permitted in the direction of the ring, therefore the eye
bolts or eye nuts must be moved to the correct position. If necessary, use the
distance rings.
If there are through-holes, you must put a washer on the opposite side under the nut
or screw head.
When possible, do not apply an angle of inclination of more than 45° (in all directions
in relation to the ring).
Do not apply lateral loads.
For different use on different objects to be lifted, eye nuts or eye bolts with thread
diameters one size higher should be used.

2.4 RUD Eye bolts and RUD Swivel Lugs


Only those RUD eye bolts and RUD swivel lugs that have a safety factor of 4 can be
used.

that have the same or are more than these values must be used. This includes the
safety factor.
All calculations for components and tools where shackles are used are related to the
given standards.
Usually, the permitted load on the shackles is specified for one strand.
Note: When tools are combined (e.g. beams with shackles, RUD eye bolts or
RUD swivel lugs and ropes, etc.), the WLL is given for the weakest part
(refer to the data in 9403−5 Tools List).

RT-flex50DF Maintenance 0012−1/A1
General Guidelines: Wire Rope Slings, Span-sets, Eye Bolts, etc.

3. Data to Attach Ropes and Slings


You must know the data that follow:
D A sling with one strand has the total of load weight
D For a sling with two strands, each strand has one half of the load weight
D For a sling with four strands of equal load, each strand has one quarter of the
load weight.
D More stress is applied to strands that have a large angle between the attachment
points.
D Less stress is applied to strands that have a narrow angle between the
attachment points.
Ropes can move on smooth surfaces (pipes and shafts etc). A soft, wooden board
between the rope and the component prevents movement.
Use a cloth or a wooden pallet to prevent damage to ropes. Sharp edges can cut
steel strands.
Always make sure that the load is correctly attached to prevent a fall.
When a rope is wound around an item two times, the friction increases. You can use
this procedure to help prevent movement of a shaft that has surface oil.
You can wind hemp ropes around the hook to prevent movement.
Do not wind steel ropes around loads. As an alternative, put steel ropes across the
load.
Hold ropes in your open hands and keep your fingers clear. Do not hold the load at
the bottom. Always lower the load on to an applicable base on a flat surface.

1. General
The clearances in the columns Nominal Dimension in the tables that follow are related
to design and manufacturing values, or to the settings on a new engine.
The values given in the columns Maximum Clearance, Dimension are the possible
results after a long period of operation. The differences in the clearances must not be
less than or more than those given.
On components where the clearance is adjustable (changed thickness of shims,
discs, spacers etc) the values must be those given in Usual Clearance. Where this is
not possible, you must replace worn parts with standard new parts, or repaired parts
with applicable material build-up.
If, during an overhaul, clearances are measured that are almost at the permitted limit,
personnel must make a decision to:
D Replace a component, or
D Let the component stay installed until the next overhaul.
This is related, for example, to the length of the next operation period until the next
overhaul and how much components are worn.

1. Torque Values − Standard Screws


It is recommended that the torque values given in the table below are for aII standard
metric screws of grade 8.8. This applies to all threaded connections not shown in
0352−1. The threads and bottom of the head must be lubricated with oil SAE 30.
For the screws in high temperature areas (exhaust pipes, expansion pieces etc), a
lubricant resistant to heat (e.g. NEVER SEEZ NSBT8) is recommended.
If NEVER SEEZ NSBT8 is used, the torque value must be decreased by 20% of the
values given in the table.
These torque values do not apply to turbocharger installations. Refer to the
documents of the turbocharger manufacturer for the correct torque values.

14) Operate the turning gear to turn the crankshaft in the applicable direction. At the
same time, operate the chain blocks (H1,H2) to keep tension on their chains.
Note: While the gear wheel (4) turns, the turning-out device 94155 moves the
thrust bearing pads. The first thrust bearing pad will come out.
15) Operate the chain blocks (H1, H2) to move the thrust bearing pad to the exhaust
side.
16) Lower the thrust bearing pad on to a stable area.
17) Do the procedure above for the remaining thrust bearing pads that you must
remove.
Note: If some of the thrust bearing pads ae removed, the remaining thrust
bearing pads will keep the crankshaft in position. If all thrust bearing
pads from the same side are removed, e.g. all the astern pads, the
crankshaft can move.
18) To prevent crankshaft movement, do as follows:
a) Get a piece of hardwood that has the same dimensions as a thrust bearing pad.
b) Put the hardwood in the position of the removed thrust bearing pads.

2. Installation
1) Make sure that the thrust bearing pads are clean.
2) Apply clean engine oil to the thrust bearing pads.
Note: You must install thrust bearing pads that you removed before in the same
positions. Use your notes and see the configuration for the correct
position of thrust bearing pads on engines with fixed pitch propellers
(FPP) and controllable pitch propellers (CPP) respectively.
3) If necessary, remove the piece of hardwood.
4) Attach the eye bolt (94040−M12) to the thrust bearing pad (2 or 3).
5) Attach the chain blocks (H1, H2) to the thrust bearing pad (2 or 3).
6) Put the first thrust bearing pad in position. Make sure that the thrust pad touches
the turning-out device (94155 or 94155A).
7) Operate the turning gear to turn the crankshaft in the applicable direction.
8) Put the subsequent thrust bearing pad in position.
9) Do step 1) to step 7) above fro each thrust bearing pad.

Oil Pressure Checks

1. General
Usually two hydraulic engine stays (1, Fig.1) are installed on the exhaust side and two
on the fuel side of the engine. This can be different because of special installations.
You must compare the oil pressures on the pressure gauges (8) of the hydraulic
cylinders (3) at regular intervals.
If one of the pressure gauges (8) shows a pressure of less than 10 bar, (defective
O-rings, valves that have leaks, defective screwed connections, or accumulator) you
must do the procedure that follows:
1) Decrease to 10 bar the pressure in the other hydraulic cylinder.
2) Repair the defective engine stay as soon as possible.
3) Adjust the oil pressure of the engine stays to the correct setting. Refer to the
instructions in the manufacturer’s manual.

refer to 2124−1.

2. Preparation
1) Remove the cylinder cover, refer to 2708−1.
2) Remove all lubricating quills, refer to 2138−1.
3) Put applicable protection below the cylinder liner. This keeps unwanted particles
out of the bore.

The test bench 94272 and calibration fluid must be used for the tasks that follow:
D To do checks
D To disassemble
D To assemble.
The properties of the calibration fluid (e.g. Shell Calibration Fluid S.9365, Univar
Calibration Fluid 1487) are as follows:
D The density at 15_C is 827 kg/m3 (ISO 12185)
D The kinematic viscosity at 40_C is 2.6 mm2/s (ASTM D445)
D The pour point is −27_C (ISO 3016).
If calibration fluid is not available, you can use clean diesel oil (gas oil). If clean diesel
oil (gas oil) is used, install the injection valve immediately after you complete the
checks.
Note: It is not recommended that diesel oil (gas oil) is used if the injection valve
is put into storage after these checks. The injection valve can get
corrosion.
On some injection valves the quantity of leakage flow can be more than others. If the
test bench flow is not sufficient to open the needle, you can use a clean additive-type
crankcase (system) oil of SAE 30 viscosity. For more data, refer to the Operation
Manual 0750, paragraph 2 System Oil).

Usually, it is not necessary to do maintenance of the pilot injection valve. For the
intervals to do checks or to replace parts of the pilot injection valve, refer to 0380−1
Pilot injection valve.
You must use the test bench 94272 and calibration fluid for the tasks that follow:
D To do the checks
D To disassemble
D To assemble.
You must read the instructions of the test bench manufacturer before you use it.
At random intervals, do a check of the pressure gauges of the test bench with a
master pressure gauge. Adjust the the pressure as necessary.
Note: Only trained personnel are permitted to do the test procedure.
The properties of the calibration fluid (e.g. Shell Calibration Fluid S.9365, Univar
Calibration Fluid 1487) are as follows:
D The density at 15° C is 827 kg/m3 (ISO 12185)
D The kinematic viscosity at 40° C is 2.6 mm2/s (ASTM D445)
D The pour point is −27° C (ISO 3016).
If calibration fluid is not available, you can use clean diesel oil (gas oil). If clean diesel
oil (gas oil) is used, install the injection valve immediately after you complete the
checks.
Note: It is not recommended that diesel oil (gas oil) is used if the injection valve
is put into storage after these checks. The injection valve can get
corrosion.

1. General
It is sufficient to measure the crank-web deflection in accordance with the intervals
specified in the class rules. It can be necessary to measure the crank-web deflection
in unusual conditions, for example:
D Important change of crank-web deflection results compared to the data before.
D Bearing temperature alarms, or bearing damage.
D After the primary bearing shells were replaced, and again after approximately
100 service hours.
D If the ship has touched the sea bed.
For the examples given above, it is recommended that you speak to Wärtsilä for
support.

2. Preparation
Make sure that:
D The indicator valves are open.
D The ship floats freely in the water as horizontal as possible.
D The crankshaft is in position on all the main bearings.
The data that follow have an effect when
you measure the crank web:
D The engine is cold, or has service
temperature.
D The temperature difference between
2 the lubricating oil sump and the
seawater.
D The loaded condition of the ship (the
1 draught).
D Strong sunshine.
It is recommended that you include these
data in the records.

1) Make sure that the tank heater and lubricating oil separator are set to off for a
minimum of eight hours.
2) Operate the turning gear to move the crank to the BDC 1st position (see Fig. 2).
3) Attach the dial gauge (94305) to the connecting rod. Make sure that the dial
gauge goes into the center punch marks.
4) Turn the rod of the dial gauge to apply tension.
5) Set the dial gauge to zero. The dial gauge must not have a difference of more
than 0.01 mm.
6) Use the turning gear to move the crank to each position shown. At each position,
record the indications on the dial gauge.
Note: You can read from the dial gauge the change in the distance between the
crank webs. The smaller the difference, the better the crankshaft is
aligned.
7) If the difference between the two BDC positions is more than 0.04 mm, you must
do the check again.

Vibration Damper

Inspection (Geislinger Vibration Damper)

1. General
Some engine designs can have a Geislinger manufactured vibration damper installed
at the free end of the crankshaft.
The service life of a vibration damper is related to the speed range in which the
engine operates. Sea water (and other types of water) in the lubricating oil can cause
the internal parts to become worn and decrease the effect of the vibration damper.

2. Check

2.1 Engine Filters


CAUTION
Damage Hazard: If the oil supply to the damper is stopped, the
engine must be stopped immediately. Damage to the vibration
damper can occur. The oil supply must flow correctly before the
engine is started again.

Note: The vibration damper must not be operated until the cause is found and
the problem is repaired.
If damage occurs to engine bearings because of water contamination in the
lubricating oil, you must examine the vibration damper for damage as soon as
possible.
You must do regular checks of the engine filters for steel or bronze particles. If
particles are found in the housing, you must speak to, or send a message to the
supplier immediately.
If the oil pressure decreases to less than 1.0 bar, do not use the adjustable throttle in
the supply pipe (4, Fig. 1 and Fig. 2). You must investigate the cause of the pressure
decrease

2.2 Inner Spring Tips and Groove Flanks


Note: You must only disassemble the vibration damper if you think there is
damage, or the parts have become worn to more than the specified limits.
You must speak to the manufacturer for instructions.
Note: Only specialists can make adjustments of the vibration damper. The
torsional vibrations and these adjustments must be done at the same
time.
To do a check of the inner spring tips and groove flanks, do the procedure that
follows:
1) Stop the engine.
2) Remove the inspection cover from the vibration damper casing.
3) Examine the inner spring tips and groove flanks. Refer to the manufacturer’s
manual for the limits.
4) Attach the inspection cover to the vibration damper casing.
5) Start the engine.
Before you remove a vibration damper and balance weight, record their positions with
reference to the crankshaft position.
For the torque values of the coupling bolts (5), refer to 0352−1.
For the test run after the first commissioning, the usual checks and servicing intervals,
refer to the manual of the vibration damper manufacturer.

1. General
Use the data in paragraph 2.1 and paragraph 2.3 to make an analysis of the of the
condition of the cylinder liner, piston and piston rings.
The rates of wear are related to the type of fuel used, the engine load profile, ambient
conditions etc, during engine operation.
Visual inspections show very important conditions of cylinder liners and piston rings
after a short time. For more data to monitor the cylinder liner and piston ring
conditions, refer to the Operation Manual 0750−1 Lubricating Oils.
When you measure and record the piston ring grooves, the data is used to calculate
the wear.
Refer to 0380−1, Piston Rings for the scheduled intervals.

2.2 Rate of Wear


The rate at which the the chrome-ceramic layer becomes worn is related to the
operation conditions. If a piston ring that has some wear of the chrome-ceramic layer
is found (see Fig. 2), do an overhaul of the unit as soon as possible.

Chrome-ceramic
Layer is Worn

Fig. 2

With regular procedures to measure the chrome-ceramic layer, you can calculate the
rate of wear for each piston ring.
You can continue to use the piston rings if the remaining chrome-ceramic layer is
more than the limits that follow:
D Top piston ring, more than 0.05 mm
D Middle and bottom piston rings, more than 0.02 mm
If the thickness of the chrome-ceramic layer is less than the limits given, you must
replace the applicable piston ring.

Description

1. General
The tools necessary for the maintenance of the engine are divided into the two
groups that follow:
D 9403−5 Standard Tools
D 9403−5 Recommended Special Tools.
When you send an order for tools or replacements, you must include the data that
follows:
D The engine type
D The tool number
D The tool description.
Data about the configuration, maintenance and storage of the hydraulic
pre-tensioning jacks are given in 9403−2, 9403−3 and 9403−4.
An independent tool set is supplied for some components from sub-suppliers. These
tools must be kept in an isolated storage area away from the engine tools.
Some tools have special screws and devices. These tools have stowage positions for
the special screws and devices. When the tool is not used, the special screws and
devices must stay in their stowage positions.
When oil must be added to the hydraulic pumps, the related oil quality specification
from the pump manufacturers must be obeyed. Use lubricating oils that have the
viscosities SAE 30 to SAE 40. In unusual conditions, it is also possible to use cylinder
lubricating oil.

2. Standard Tools
These tools are necessary for the usual maintenance on the engine. Some of these
tools are not necessary for specified maintenance.

3. Recommended Special Tools


These tools and devices let you do some of the maintenance tasks easily and in a
decreased time when compared to the standard tools. You can send an order for the
recommended special tools with the engine order, or on a specified date.

3.1 Version 1 − Preparation


1) Make sure that the vent screw (1, Fig. 1) is open.
2) Put the hydraulic jack on the elastic stud (6).
3) Turn the hydraulic jack until it is tight. Make sure that there is no clearance at X.

3.2 Version 2 − Preparation


1) Put the hydraulic jack over the elastic stud (6).
2) Use the round bar to lightly tighten the round nut (7).
3) If necessary, turn back the hydraulic jack a small distance to get access to the
hole in the round nut (7).

3.3 Procedure
1) On the HP oil pump, close the relief valve.
2) Connect the hydraulic jack to the HP oil pump or the hydraulic unit.
3) Operate the HP oil pump.
4) Close the vent screw (1) when oil that has no air flows out.
5) Slowly increase the pressure to the nominal value, then keep the pressure
constant (refer to Table 1 for the pressure values)
6) Make sure that there are no leaks.
Note: Do not move the piston (2) above the limit of the red groove (3).
7) Use the round bar (8) to tighten the round nut (7) nut.
8) Put the feeler gauge through the slot (5) to make sure that there is no clearance
between the round nut (7) and the seating.
9) Compare the angle between the reference marks (X and Y, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4) on
the round nut and the Comparison value in Table 1. If there is a large difference,
you must investigate the cause and do the procedure again.
10) On the HP oil pump, or hydraulic unit, decrease the pressure to zero.
11) Remove the hydraulic jack.
