SAFTEY
PRECAUTIONS
For details on safety rules and regulations in the United

States, contact your local Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA).
These safety precautions are published for your information. Arrow Engine Company, does not, by the publication of these precautions, imply or in any way represent
that these published precautions are the sum of all dangers present near industrial engines. If you are operating industrial engines, it is your responsibility to ensure
that such operation is in full accordance with all applicable
safety requirements and codes. All requirements of the
United States Federal Occupational Safety and Health
Administration Act must be met when Arrow engines are
operated in areas that are under the jurisdiction of that
United States Department. Engines operated in countries
other than the United Stated of America must be installed,
operated and serviced in accordance and compliance with
any and all safety requirements of that country.
Positive Fuel Shut-Off
Some means of positive fuel shut-off should be provided

for emergency use. Pressurized fuels (natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, etc.) should have another positive
shut-off valve, preferably automatic, other than those in
the carburetor or gas pressure regulation equipment. It is
the final responsibility of the engine owner to ensure that
the installation is free from fuel or exhaust leakage, and
such installation meets all applicable codes.
Gas Used to Energize Starters

Gas used to energize starters must be discharged away
from the engine into a harmless area. Ignition connections and electrical equipment on engines exposed to
a potentially explosive atmosphere should be equipped
to eliminate spark hazard. It is the responsibility of the
engine owner to specify or provide such connections and
equipment.
Bodily Protection
Safety Guards
Wear OSHA approved bodily, sight, hearing and respiratory system protection. Never wear loose clothing, jewelry
or long hair around an engine.
Exhaust Gases
Engine exhaust products are toxic and may cause injury
or death if inhaled. All engine installations must have an
exhaust discharge pipe so that exhaust gases are delivered into the outside air. A closed building or shelter must
be adequately vented to provide a steady supply of fresh
air.
Engines must be provided with guards to protect persons or structures from rotating or heated parts. It is the
responsibility of the engine owner to specify or provide
such protection.
Crankcase Anti-Explosion Valves

These valves must be kept in proper working condition to
relieve crankcase pressure.
Ignition Systems
Engine Fuels
Natural gas is highly combustible and may ignite or explode.
Fuels must be conducted to the engine with proper piping,
free from leaks, and designed to resist breakage from
vibration. When filling fuel tanks, never smoke or use
open flame in the immediate area. Fuel tanks should be
grounded to prevent buildup of static electricity. If a gas
engine has been cranked excessively without starting,
shut off the gas fuel supply and ignition. Then crank the
engine to purge the cylinders and exhaust system of accumulated, unburned gas. If you fail to do this, a spark plug
could ignite the gas and cause an explosion.
86
Ignition systems can cause electrical shocks. Avoid contacting ignition units and wiring.
A spark plug will fire if the storage capacitor in a breakerless magneto has been charged by hand-turning the
magneto. This happens even though the ignition system
harness is disconnected at the magneto. When the harness is reconnected, and the ignition switch is in the on
position, the capacitor will discharge and fire a spark
plug. The plug will ignite any gas that has accumulated
in that cylinder. The crankshaft and driven equipment
may rotate, possibly causing personal injury or damage
to equipment. Gas that has accumulated in the exhaust
system may also be ignited.
Before reconnecting the ignition harness to a breakerless

magneto, discharge the storage capacitor to ground. Do
this by clipping one end of a wire lead to the magneto
housing. Then touch the other end to the harness connector pins on the magneto. You will hear a snap when a
capacitor discharges.
If the ignition switch is in the off position, the capacitor is

immediately discharged to ground when the ignition harness is reconnected to the magneto.
As a safety measure, ground all the pins. Some breakerless ignition systems have more than one storage capacitor.
WARNING
If a gas engine has been cranked excessively without starting, shut off the gas fuel supply and ignition. Then crank
the engine to purge the cylinders and exhaust system of
accumulated, unburned gas. If you fail to do this, a spark
plug could ignite the gas and cause an explosion.
Cooling System Pressure Caps

And Connections
Do not remove the pressure caps while the engine is
operating or while coolant is hot. The cooling system is
under pressure, and severe burns could result from the
hot coolant spewing out when the cap is removed. Wait
until the engine and coolants have cooled down before
removing the radiator or surge tank caps. Always replace
weak hoses, lines, and fittings.
Do not operate the generator with the ammeter circuit

open. Voltage, dangerous to both equipment and personnel, can be generated in an open secondary circuit of
a current transformer.
If the generator set is stopped by operation of safety
devices, do not attempt to operate it until the cause has
been eliminated.
When the generator set is shut down after operation, disconnected all line switches to all external power load and
parallel circuits.
Repair And Service

Always stop the engine before cleaning, servicing, or
repairing the engine or driven equipment. Place all controls in OFF position to prevent accidental restarting. If
possible, lock all controls in the OFF position. Put a sign
on the instrument panel warning that the engine is being
serviced. Before restarting, make sure that all tools and
other material are removed from the engine and equipment.
Proper service and repair is important to the safe, reliable

operation of engines and related equipment. The procedures recommended by Arrow in this manual are effective
methods for performing service and repair operations.
Some of these procedures require the use of specially
designed tools. The special tools should be used when
and as recommended. Anyone who uses a service, repair,
or installation procedure not recommended by Arrow must
first satisfy themselves thoroughly that their safety will not
be jeopardized by the service methods they select.
Generator Sets
Housekeeping
The voltage produced by generator sets is dangerous.
Severe, possibly fatal shock may result from contact.
Make sure the generator set is grounded before
operation. Be extremely careful when the unit or
surrounding area is damp or wet.
Good housekeeping results in a clean, safe work area.

An orderly work area with clean walkways and neatly
arranged tools and equipment is a major factor in accident prevention.
When servicing any part of the electrical system or making

any connections, make sure main power switch is OFF.
Clean or service generator set only when engine is shut
down.
In case of an accident from electrical shock, shut down
he generator at once. If it cannot be shut down, free the
victim from the live conductor. Avoid direct contact with
the victim. Use a dry board, dry rope, or any nonconducting implement to free the victim. If the victim is unconscious, apply artificial respiration and get medical help.
87
Engine Fan Blades

1. Do not operate the engine with a fan which has been
bent, mutilated, modified or in any way damaged.
2. Do not operate the engine if the fan contacts or strikes
any engine accessory or the radiator shroud or core.
3. Do not rebalance the fan. Contact the fan supplier if
rebalancing is required.
4. Ensure that all bolts attaching the fan are securely
installed to a torque specified by the engine or vehicle
manufacturer.
turbochargers
Turbochargers are specifically designed for each application. Nozzle rings must not be changed without consulting the engine manufacturer since they limit turbocharger
rpm. Excessive rpm may result in turbocharger failure
with resultant personal safety hazards. Turbochargers
operate at high temperatures. Therefore, all flammable
material must be kept away from them. Engines must be
shut down at room temperature before working on turbochargers, or burns will result. Keep all foreign material
away from turbocharger openings.
Engine Storage Chemicals

5. Install the fan so the word front stamped on the fan
faces the radiator.
6. Perform all required maintenance on the subassembly
to which the fan is attached (water pump, fan drive,
etc.) (See operator/ service manual).
7. Do not modify or substitute any parts of the engine
without the approval of Arrow Engine Company. Take
special care not to make modifications, which will
increase the operating speed of the fan.
8. Install the fan only if the engine has been approved
for fan installation. Likewise, install a subassembly to
which the fan is attached (water pump, fan drive, etc.),
only if approved or specified for use on the engine.
9. If the fan or fan drive contains any plastic or rubber
component, have the fan and drive inspected by a
qualified mechanic after operation at or exposure to
excessively high temperatures [above 250 F. (120
C.) air temperature].
10. Replace the fan if indications of excessive corrosion
or erosion appear on the fan.
11. For reversible or adjustable pitch fans, make
sure the blades are correctly locked in the proper
position prior to operation. Also, inspect the fan
prior to operation to ensure that ice and dirt have
not accumulated on the fan to cause potential
unbalance of the fan.
Preservative Oil contains a petroleum distillate which is

harmful or fatal if swallowed. Avoid contact with skin.
Vapor is harmful and causes irritation of eyes, nose, throat
and skin. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of vapor. Avoid contact with
skin, eyes, and clothing. Do not take internally. Keep
container closed and away from heat. Always read and
observe the CAUTION labels on the containers. Do not
destroy the labels on the containers.
Generally, heating of preservative compounds is limited

to 200 F. (93 C.) or less. These temperatures are easily
reached by placing the preservative container in heated
water. If this is done, the container must be vented or
opened to reduce the danger of explosion. Direct heating
presents a dangerous and unnecessary fire hazard.
Fire Protection
Locate fire extinguishers so that they are easily accessible
if a fire starts. Carefully maintain records of extinguisher
inspection and recharging to ensure the fire extinguishing
capabilities when required. Consult your fire extinguisher
supplier or insurance engineer for recommendations on
the type, size, and quantity of fire extinguishers required.
Select and post alternate routes of escape from any
engine installation. Design installation to meet all applicable fire codes.
Cleaning Solvents
12. Be sure all fans, fan drives and belts are properly
shielded.
88
Use approved cleaning solvents in a well ventilated area.

Avoid breathing fumes; some vapors can be fatal. Keep
away from open flames or sparks. Do not use gasoline
or paint thinners or other highly volatile fluids for cleaning. Always read and observe the CAUTION labels on
containers. Do not destroy the labels on the containers.
Cleaning solvents can cause various types of skin irritations.
Welding Equipment
Welding gas cylinders can explode if damaged. Cylinders
must be stored in accordance with manufacturers specifications and applicable safety requirements.
When using acetylene, check valves should be installed
between the regulators and hoses to prevent flashback
into the regulators and supply tanks. Flashback could
cause the regulators and supply tanks to explode.
Oily and greasy materials must be kept away from oxygen
valves. Hoses, etc. Oxygen may combine with such materials and an explosive reaction could result.
Always wear protective eye shields when welding, cutting
or watching a welding operation. Protective clothing and
face shields must be worn. Do not weld or cut near combustible materials.
Precautions When Using Booster

Batteries And Cables
Do not attempt to jump start an engine having a frozen
battery. The battery may rupture or explode. Before starting, examine all fill vents on the battery. If ice can be
seen, or if the electrolyte fluid cannot be seen, do not
attempt to start with jumper cables.
Batteries should be treated carefully when using jumper

cables. The following procedures assist in reducing
sparks and explosion hazards always present in both batteries when connecting charged batteries to discharged
batteries:
Turn off all electrical loads. Remove vent caps and

lay a damp cloth over open vent walls of each battery.
The charged booster battery or batteries must have
the same voltage capacity as the discharged battery
or batteries.
Grounding Precautions When Welding

When using an electric welder on an engine, clip the
ground lead as close to the welding site as possible. Putting the ground lead too far from the welding site may
result in arcing across the main bearings, and fusing them
to the crankshaft.
The positive post is identified by a +, pos. and red

color and is larger in diameter than the negative
post.
The negative post is identified by a -, neg. and gray

color.
Electric Power tools

Be certain the electric tool is properly grounded. Wear
proper eye protection. Do not work in wet or damp conditions. Be sure the tool is in good condition and safety
guards are in position. An electric trouble light must also
be grounded. Do not carry electric power tools by the
cord. Do not yank the cord when removing from and outlet;
instead grasp the plug to remove it from the outlet.
Negative Grounded Battery Or Batteries

First, connect one jumper cable from the positive post on
the charged battery or batteries to the positive post on the
discharged battery or batteries. If more than one battery
is connected in series or series parallel, connect the
jumper cable to the positive post that has the cable leading to the starting motor.
Lead Acid Batteries

Always disconnect the battery ground connection from
batteries before performing any work on the engine or
equipment. This will prevent sparks or burns from accidentally shorting an electrical connection.
Never expose batteries to open flame or electric spark.
Battery action generates a flammable, explosive gas.
Dont allow battery fluid to contact skin, eyes, fabrics, or
painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a sulfuric acid solution,
which could cause serious personal injury or property
damage. Wear eye protection when working with batteries.
Second, connect the other jumper cable from the negative post on the charged battery or batteries to a good
ground on the engine.
When removing jumper cables, always disconnect the
ground jumper cable from the engine before disconnecting the other jumper cable.
Positive Grounded Battery Or Batteries

This is the same procedure as for negative grounded battery or batteries, except the negative post will have the
cable leading to the starting motor and the positive post
will be grounded.
89
Compressed Air
Compressed air or gases should never be used to clean
clothing or the body. Compressed air can pierce the skin
and cause severe and very painful injury. Never use your
hand to check air, gas, or liquid flow rates. Do not engage
in horseplay with air, gas, or liquid hoses. Observe all
applicable regulations as related to compressed gases.
Sodium Filled Valves

When handling sodium filled valves always wear approved
safety goggles, a hat or cap, long sleeves, and gloves. If
refacing of sodium filled valves is required, do not exert
undue force at the grinding wheel as this could crack the
hollow valve stem and allow the sodium to escape.
Do not handle broken sodium filled valves with bare
hands. Sodium or sodium residue can cause severe
burns. Sodium burns are of the same nature as caustic
burns. Wash burns with large volumes of cold water, then
neutralize with vinegar. The affected parts should then be
treated as a burn and medical attention sought.
If a broken valve should ignite, smother the flames in dry

soda ash or dry sand. Water, carbon dioxide in any form,
or carbon tetrachloride should never be used on sodium
fires since these material react violently with hot sodium.
The smoke and fumes are irritating; adequate ventilation should be provided and inhalation or contact with the
smoke and fumes avoided.
2. Descaling operations should be performed away from

all fire, sparks or other ignition sources.
3. Keep acids off of concrete floors, as it attacks lime
in the concrete. If solution does get on concrete
surfaces, apply an alkaline solution to neutralize.
4. Acids can react with metals to form various gases.
Generally, acid solutions on lime scale and rust result
in the formation of harmless carbon dioxide. However,
when acids contact aluminum, zinc, cadmium, tin,
sulfides, arsenic and cyanides, poisonous and
explosive gases may be generated. When descaling
is being done in closed equipment, install proper
ventilation to carry the gases away. When an open
tank or crock is used, gases should be diluted by
adequate airflow above the open tank.
5. Always fill closed vessels from bottom up.

6. Be sure that there are no leaks in the vessel being
descaled, which will permit solution to leak into
opposite side or equipment. Good practice is to fill
the opposite side of the equipment being descaled
with water to a level higher than the acid solution.
7. Use an acid-proof pump, or an inexpensive,
expendable one.
8. When mixing with water, pour acid into the water. Do
not pour water in concentrated acid.
9. Do not agitate acid solutions with air.
Broken sodium filled valves may be stored prior to disposal

in moisture free clean oil or kerosene. Unserviceable
sodium filled valves must be disposed of in accordance
with local, state and/or federal regulations as applicable.
Intoxicants And Narcotics

Workers under the influence of intoxicants and/or narcotics are unsafe workers and are a hazard to themselves
and other employees.
Safety Practices For Handling Acids

Throughout this manual, acid cleaning procedures are
recommended for certain castings or pieces of equipment.
WARNING
Always add the acid to the water - never add water to acid
when mixing solution.
1. Avoid contact with skin, clothing, and eyes.
90
10. Applications of acid should be followed by thorough

rinsing, then neutralizing with an alkaline solution to
remove all acidic residue, to prevent further action.
11. Store acid solutions in either an acid-proof wooden
or synthetic rubber lined steel container.
12. Check steel equipment to be treated with acid
solution for copper or brass fittings or fusible metal
plugs. If possible, dissimilar metals should be
removed prior to descaling to prevent electrolytic
action which might interfere with the inhibiting action
of acid solution. Do not use acid to descale equipment
constructed of aluminum.

BEFORE StARtING
Trace through the external cooling system to make sure
all control valves are properly opened, and the drain cocks
closed. Check the coolant level.
On post-1996 radiators with baffled top tank, make sure that
make up and de-aeration lines are connected between the
top tank and the engine. The cooling system will not fill
completely if lines are not hooked up correctly. Contact factory for further details.
Be sure the main clutch, circuit breaker, or other powertransmission device is disengaged.
Inspect drive belts (water pump, alternator, fan or other

equipment.) Examine for good condition and correct tension. Be sure the cooling fan is free to turn, and the belt
tension is correct.
95
WARNING
Make certain all guards are secure on the engine and
driven equipment.
Check the air restriction indicator. Clean the air filter element and dust cap if the indicator shows red.
If the engine has been standing idle for some time, bar it
over by hand to be sure it is free to rotate.
Check the oil level as indicated on the dipstick prior to
starting the engine. Stop the engine and recheck the oil
level after 5 to 10 minutes of operation at low idle. Add oil
as required to bring the level to the full mark.
Push in gauge button until lockout engages.
Reset overspeed switch (Synchro-Start) if engine shuts
down on overspeed.
Be sure the fuel shut-off valve is opened prior to attempting to start the engine.
Familiarize yourself with all engine controls before
attempting to run the engine.
96
StARtING ENGINE
Place the throttle control lever in the low speed position.
Actuate the starter control to crank the engine. After the
engine starts, check for adequate oil pressure indications
and place the throttle control lever in the medium idle
speed position with no load for engine warm-up. Check
that the Murphy Swichgage safety control (when applicable) has released so that the engine cannot operate with
low or no oil pressure. The Swichgage must be released
by oil pressure before the low oil safety control is effective.
CAUTION
If adequate oil pressure is not indicated within 15-20 seconds, shut the engine down at once and determine the
cause. Never operate an engine without adequate oil
pressure readings in the hope that a faulty gauge or cold
oil is responsible. (The problem could be something else,
and serious engine damage would result.)
Idle turbocharged engines for several minutes after starting to prevent oil lag failure to turbocharger bearings.
This is particularly important during cold weather or when
the equipment has not been in use for extended periods.
Warm up engine until oil pressure stabilizes and coolant
temperature reaches at least 100 - 120F. (38 - 49C.)
Check general engine security such as air intake and
exhaust connections, belt, guard, bolts, etc.
Engine speed for applying load will vary depending upon
engine application. Generally, load should be applied
gradually with engine speed set high enough to carry the
load.
There are a number of important things to check while the
engine is running.
Learn and record the normal operating readings for the
engine. Normal oil pressures for the VR220/330 series
engines are 40-50 psi (2.8-3.5 kg/cm2) at 2600rpm. The
normal coolant temperature is 190-200 F. (88-93C).
Check the air intake restriction indicator.
Listen to the engine. Certain problems, such as occasional misfiring, may first be noticeable at first.
Check for oil or coolant leaks.
Avoid prolonged idling, in excess of 20 to 30 minutes at
a time, without bringing the engine up to normal operating temperatures near full-load. Excessive idling periods
tend to cause cylinder and turbocharger problems by creating excessive coke and ash deposits.
97
StOPPING ENGINE
Remove load by disengaging the clutch control lever, opening the main circuit breaker, etc.
Place the throttle control lever in medium idle speed position, and allow the engine to idle for a few minutes to reduce
and normalize engine temperatures.
CAUTION
It is advisable, if the engine has overheated due to either
excessive load or through some malfunction of the cooling
system, to operate the engine at idle speed for a few
minutes to bring temperature back to normal. This is
especially important for a turbocharged engine. If temperature does not begin to recover to normal within one minute,
shut the unit down hot.
Stop the engine when it has cooled sufficiently. Depending

upon the engine installation, it can be stopped in a number
of ways.
Gas engines should normally be stopped by shutting off the
fuel supply.
Unless otherwise protected, the exhaust pipe should be
capped upon shutting down the engine to prevent condensation, rain, or snow from getting into the engine. A pail or
bucket inverted over the exhaust pipe will be sufficient.
Test the coolant solution for adequate antifreeze to protect
the engine from freezing during shutdown periods. The
immediate and anticipated air temperature will govern the
amount of antifreeze needed.
98
QUICK tROUBLE INFORMAtION FOR OPERAtORS

CHECK CONTROLS
Follow starting steps. Reset safety controls. Remote or

automatic operation engines have special procedures.
CHECK FUEL SYSTEM
Be sure fuel is getting to engine; check valves for open

position; check possibility of water, rust, pipe scale.
CHECK COOLING SYSTEM
Check coolant level. Make sure the system is not air

locked. Radiator must not be blocked. Check shutter
and fan operation. Raw water valves must be open to the
heat exchanger.
Check air filter and air restriction indicator. Air intake or
exhaust outlet must be uncapped.
CHECK AIR INTAKE AND

EXHAUST SYSTEMS FOR BLOCKS
CHECK MECHANICAL ITEMS
CHECK IGNITION ON GAS ENGINE
Check throttle and governor control linkage for freedom

from sticking and interference. Examine accessory drive
belts for condition and tension. If cranking speed seems
low, check battery condition.
Check for water on ignition parts and wires, signs of corrosion at wire terminals, broken wires, and spark plugs
that are poorly gapped or worn out.
IF THESE CHECKS DO NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM, REFER TO THE TROUBLESHOOTING SECTION
StARt-UP
Cold Weather Starting
An engine jacket coolant heater, lubricating oil heater,
and / or other approved starting aid should be utilized as
required for cold weather starting.
Engine Warm-Up
Proper engine warm-up is important for long engine life.
A warm-up period allows for an even thermal expansion
of engine components. Also, the lubricant warms up and
attains normal viscosity during warm-up. Oil pressure is
also built up, assuring proper oil distribution and lubrication of vital engine parts.
(Standby units that require immediately full load pick-up

can be equipped to maintain a constant oil pressure and
engine temperature. Consult your Arrow distributor for
further information.)
Break-In Procedure
New or overhauled engines should receive a break-in
run.
NOTE: Standby generator engines should follow this

procedure using a load bank.
EXERCISE OF StANDBY UNItS

It is recommended that a generator set or other standby
unit be exercised once each week. A record should be
maintained of performance, incidental servicing, and
output of both the engine and driven equipment.
Always operate the engine long enough to stabilize oil and
water temperatures at the normal operating level expected
under load. Do not operate under no load conditions for
other than very brief periods. Loads of at least one-third
up to the normal rated capacity are recommended.
Ordinarily, an exercise run of 1-1 hours will be needed
to stabilize temperatures. If the engine cannot be loaded,
it should not be exercised for more than 10 minutes each
exercise period.
It is recognized that some types of driven equipment

cannot be operated without fairly extensive procedures
to put them in line. Examples are hospital generators in
some types of switching configurations: air-conditioning
compressors which can only be loaded by changing over
to chilled water from heating water circulation; and pumps
which are not set up for waste discharge or recirculation.
99
In such cases, weekly exercise periods may have to be

reduced, where possible, to operational periods long
enough only to prove the engines ability to crank and
start; or, checkout of starting circuitry and safety equipment with the starter disabled. In this event, special
attention must be taken to prevent internal corrosion,
sticking and gumming of fuel controls, and deterioration
of starting batteries. In all cases, arrangements should be
made to run the engine and driven equipment under load
at least every 90 days.
Light Load Operation Service Schedule

We recommend the following maintenance schedule for
engines that are consistently run at 25% or less of the
continuous duty rating.
Engine Performance Record

Engine operating information, recorded during regular
inspection, is necessary to apply proper Preventive Maintenance schedules. Accurate records help control costs
by avoiding unnecessary servicing, ensuring needed servicing, and providing trend information on the general
engine condition. We recommend keeping a record of
the following information, selecting items applying to your
engine.
Hour Meter Reading

Engine Oil Temperature
1. Maintain engine jacket coolant temperature between

180 and 190 F. (82 - 88 C.).
2. Air cleaner restriction indicator should be checked
daily. Clean or replace element as required.
3. At 50 operating hour intervals, run the engine at
50% load or better to clean carbon off the engine
components.
4. The inspection and overhaul schedule of cylinder
heads should be updated to allow for a 25% reduction
in hours between servicings.
5. Our experience indicated that lightly loaded gas
engines will have more stable operation when
equipped with single electrode spark plugs. However,
for heavily loaded gas engines, we recommend the
use of multi-electrode spark plugs as they provide
better performance and longer service life.
6. Change lube oil every 500 hrs.
When applicable, we recommend running fewer engines

per site to increase the load on each engine.
NOTE: When operating above 25% of the continuous

duty rating, follow the normal maintenance
schedule.

SERVICE
Lubrication Recommendations
The following precautions should be observed when lubricating the engine.
1. Keep all lubricants in closed containers and store
them in a clean, dry place away from heat. Always
protect the lubricants from dust, dirt and moisture.
Keep lubrication equipment clean and ready for use
at all times.
2. Before adding oil, wipe surrounding areas clean to
prevent dirt or other foreign matter from entering
the lubrication system. Use a cloth moistened with
solvent to remove any old or hardened lubricants.
After lubricating, remove any excess oil and wipe any
spilled lubricant from parts not requiring lubrication.
The performance of a lubricant, like that of any manufactured product, is the responsibility of the refiner and producer. A tabulation of lubricant producers and suppliers,
together with performance grades for which the producers have indicated their products are qualified, is available in the EMA Lubricating Oils Data Book, complied by
the Engine Manufactures Association, One Illinois Center,
111 East Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60601. Arrow
Specialty Company has made it a practice not to recommend oil by brand name.
Arrow Specialty Companys warranty is limited to the

repair or replacement of parts that fail due to defective
material or workmanship during the warranty period. The
VR Engine warranty does not include responsibility for
satisfactory performance of the lubricating oil, this being
the responsibility of the oil supplier.
Service Conditions
Oil performance will reflect engine load, temperature, fuel
quality, atmospheric dirt, moisture and maintenance. If
oil performance problems arise or are anticipated, the oil
supplier should be consulted.
Extended oil change intervals should be utilized with
caution on any engine using highly dispersant oils, The
dispersants function by absorption of particles of contaminants; however, when dispersant saturation is reached,
these oils tend to dump out all of the suspended contaminants in a relatively short period of time. Laboratory
analysis will not predict the dump out point precisely;
consequently, closer operator attention to engine conditions is required when establishing an extended oil
change interval.
Hydrogen Sulfide
Engines operating with gaseous fuel containing over
0.1% hydrogen sulfide should use oil compounded to a
TBN (total base number) of 8 or higher, so that the oil can
adequately counteract the acids formed in the combustion of such fuels.
When fuel is burned in an engine combustion chamber,

any sulfur it contains is converted to sulfur oxides, which
will combine with water vapor to form acids. These acids
can cause serious corrosive damage to engine components. The engine oil should be compounded to neutralize
these acids and inhibit corrosion. This is done by building alkalinity into the oil via the additive formulation. The
commonly used measure of relative alkalinity is termed
Total Base Number (TBN). The higher this number, the
greater the reserve alkalinity or acid neutralizing capacity
of an oil.
The following table gives guidelines for required TBN of

new oil, and deterioration limit of used oil for a range of
liquid fuel sulfur content. The recommended oil drain intervals for each engine model should be followed, unless the
TBN drops below the minimum valve shown before that
time. If this happens the oil should be changed
immediately.

Lube oil suppliers will supply information about the TBN

levels of their products. An oil analysis program will keep
the user informed of the TBN level of his oil in service so
that adequate corrosion protection is maintained.
Since low operating temperatures promote condensation
of acid-bearing fumes in the crankcase, engine coolant
temperatures should also be maintained at 185 F. (85
C.) minimum when using such fuels.

Convert Btu to Gallons for Propane

Consumption
1. Propane has 101,050 Btu/Gal
2. VR/A Series engines consume 8,000 Btu/bhp-Hr of
propane
3. 8000 x 68 Bhp = 544,000 Btu per hour
CAUTION
The type of oil, engine environment and installation, internal engine condition and/or the condition of the carburetion equipment may require more frequent oil changes.
We suggest monitoring the lubricating oil with a good oil
analysis program. However, extended oil change intervals may cause varnish deposits, oil oxidation or sludge,
which an oil analysis cannot detect.
4. 544,000 x 24 hours = 13,056,000 Btu per day

5. 13,056,000/101,050 = 129 Gallons of propane Per day
EXAMPLE: If 1,000 Gallons of propane is used in 8 days
= 1000/8 = 125 Gallons per day
Oil Designation
Oil is designated in several ways, including the API, which
is usually stamped on the container, the military, and the
engine manufacturers designations. The preceding is
satisfactory for the VR engines. The designations listed
are not necessarily equivalent.

Low temperature Operation

At low ambient temperatures, an oil must be used which
will provide proper lubrication when the engine is hot and
working. Lube oil and jacket water heaters are recommended for ambients below 50F. (10C.) to warm oil and
water for fast starting and loading of engines. Arrow Specialty Company will supply information on these devices
upon request.
Multi-viscosity oils should only be used in cold starting

applications. However, the oil may deteriorate in continuous service, allowing the oil to revert to its original low
viscosity base. In this state, the oil may not supply sufficient film strength and/or oil pressure. Therefore, an oil
analysis program should be utilized to determine the oil
change intervals.
Synthetic oils are not recommended by Arrow Engine

Company due to insufficient experience with the product.
Oil Consumption
Oil consumption should range from 0.0005 to 0.004
pounds per horsepower hour as determined by the following formula:
Engines operating with low oil temperatures [below 160F.

(71C.)] can be expected to show excessive sludging
and water. Engines operating with high oil temperatures
[above 230F. (110C.)] may experience lacquering and
ring sticking due to oil oxidation. If, for any reason, oil
temperatures cannot be corrected to the normal operating
range, more frequent oil changes may help in extending
engine life.
Oil Changes
LBS/Hp-HR= 1.82 x quarts of oil used/
Operating Hp x total hours of operation
The crankcase level should be checked prior to each

days engine operation. The oil condition as revealed on
the oil level dipstick should be carefully observed.
Oil Viscosity Selection

The operating temperature of the oil in the sump is the best
guide for selecting the proper SAE grade of oil. When the
oil temperature is unknown on VR Series engines, add
120F. (67C.) to the ambient temperature to obtain the
estimated sump oil temperature.
For example: at an air temperature of 70F. (21C.), estimated oil pan operating temperature would be 190F.
(88C.). Use SAE 30 as indicated in the following table.
NOTE: This is only an estimate, since the type of

installation determines the amount of air
circulation of cooling around the oil pan. Actual
oil pan operating temperatures should be
measured whenever possible.
The correct lubricating oil viscosity (often referred to as
weight) should be determined with the engine operating under its normal loaded speed and temperature, using
SAE 30 oil.
Replace oil if it is plainly diluted, broken down, thickened

by sludge, or otherwise deteriorated. Remember that
some modern oils cannot be judged on the basis of color
alone because the additives are intended to hold carbon
particles in suspension.
The standard filters supplied will not remove these particles. The dark appearance of the oil is not necessarily
an indication that the oil should be changed. Whenever
oil is changed, the filters must be serviced.
Oil Change Procedure

1. Remove the crankcase oil drain plug, drain oil and
securely replace the plug.
2. Fill the element with oil (approximately one quart).
Replace the filter element.
3. Fill the crankcase with oil.
6. Start and load the engine as described under

STARTING.
4. Operate the engine for a few minutes in order to

circulate the oil through the system.
7. After oil and coolant temperatures stabilize, note the

temperature of the oil in the oil pan. Use an accurate
temperature gauge. Compare this temperature with
the accompanying chart. The correct oil viscosity will
be found in the right hand column.

Not all oils in every type of engine will give maximum service; therefore be careful to examine the oil after the first
draining to determine whether it is standing up in service.
Trial periods of ten hours are suggested; and at the end
of such periods, make careful inspection of the oil level
dipstick for sludging, frothing and emulsification. Such
conditions call for more frequent oil changes or a different oil. In winter operation, low oil temperatures [below
160F. (71C.)] are particularly likely to cause sludge formation. Temperature control devices (curtains, shutters,
and so on) should be used if needed in order to hold the
oil temperature around 180F. (82C.).
Air Filters
Check the restriction indicator daily and clean the filter if
the indicator shows red.
Fan and Water Pump Belts

Check belts weekly for proper tension and material condition. Make sure guards are secure.
Valve Adjustment
Break-In
New or overhauled engines should receive a break-in
run.
This operation can be performed with the lube oil as specified below. After warm-up of approximately 30 minutes,
proceed with a load and unload cycle. Repeated loading
(minimum of half load, maximum full load), with equal idle
periods in 5-minute intervals for a period of two hours,
results in rapid break-in and quick seating of piston rings.
Never idle the engine for more than 15 minutes during the
break-in or for the first 100 hours of operation.
Adjust valve clearance every 500 hours.
Battery
Check electrolyte level weekly and fill as required. Inspect
terminals for corrosion periodically. A specific gravity
of between 1.250 - 1.285 with all cells within 0.010 and
0.015 of each indicates a well charged battery.
Natural Gas Carburetor And Regulator

Inspect the diaphragm annually and replace if cracked or
deteriorated.
Spark Plugs
NOTE: Standby generator engines should follow

break-in procedures using a load bank.
Service Schedule And Procedures

Oil and Coolant Level
Inspect spark plugs every 250 hours and replace every 500

Check levels daily and fill as required. Change the oil and
filter as recommended under Oil Change Intervals.
Crankcase Breather
Clean the breather every 1000 hours.
Power take-Off
Lubricate the power take-off at intervals according to the
instructions of the manufacturer.

104
Oil Pump Inlet

The inlet of the oil pump is a slotted pickup tube designed
to protect the pump and engine from the introduction of
foreign material. If an indications of low or fluctuating oil
pressure appear, the pickup tube should be thoroughly
washed in a suitable solvent.
Oil Filters
VR220/330 Series engines are equipped with full flow oil
filters. These are spin-on, disposable type filters. When
changing filters, carefully follow the manufacturers directions.
Full flow filters are an integral part of the lubrication
system. Never run the engine with the filter blocked off.
All oil going to the engine must pass through the filter. If
the filter becomes clogged, the oil will bypass the filter.
The engine will then be lubricated with dirty oil, which may
reduce engine life. To avoid this possibility, we recommend changing the oil filter at every engine oil change.
Oil Cooler (When So Equipped)

Oil cooler maintenance consists of largely of
periodic cleaning and inspection for clogging or corrosion.
Improper or fluctuating oil pressure, or an undesirable
increase in oil temperature may indicate the need for servicing the cooler more frequently. In general, the cooler
should be removed from the engine, disassembled, and
cleaned annually, or as required. Long service or
expediency may make it more practical to replace the
inner cooling core with a new unit. All rust and lime
deposits should be removed from the water passage area
of the cooler. The sludge deposits within the cooler core
may be cleaned out by several solvents and methods; but
in all cases, it is recommended that cleaning take place
as quickly as possible after removing the cooler from the
engine. Ordinarily, a cleaning solvent or a commercial
sludge and carbon remover will be effective if pumped
vigorously through the cooler plates. Observe fire and
safety precautions.

Air Cleaners
Follow the directions attached to the cleaner if any are present. Dry-type air cleaners are used on VR220/330 engines.
An air restriction indicator is mounted in the piping for the
air cleaner. This indicator shows when air cleaner element service is necessary.
WARNING
The air cleaner condition indicator communicates directly
with the intake manifold and is subject to occasional high
pressure if gas engines backfire. A restrictor is normally
installed in the air passage to dampen momentary high
pressure which might damage the indicator and project broken pieces potentially harming nearby people. A
check should be made to be certain this restrictor is actually in place.
As dirt trapped by the air cleaner gradually restricts the

flow of air, the condition indicator signal, which is preset
for a maximum restriction, rises within the gauge. When
the maximum restriction is reached, the signal locks into
full view indicating the need for servicing the air cleaner
element.
CAUTION
Unless the signal is locked in view, indicating a clogged
air cleaner element, the restriction indicator will return to
a normal setting upon engine shutdown. Normally the
air cleaner element is serviced long before the indicator
shows a need, but the operator should check the indicator every day while the engine is running. After the air
cleaner element has been serviced, the reset button on
the restriction indictor should be depressed to reset it.
106
Two styles of dry-type air cleaners are available to VR

Series engines. Open units are equipped with an upright
hat style air cleaner. The second type available is the
circular style air cleaner supplied with VR Series closed
units. This style cleaner has a precleaner built into each
assembly. Dirt trapped by this precleaner is collected in a
dust cup on the end of the cleaner element, be careful not
to spill any dirt on the engine. (This cleaner is also available as an option for the VR Series open units.)
There are two ways to clean dry-type air cleaner elements.
CAUTION
Do not rap, beat or drop the element.
1. Compressed air cleaning. Direct clean, dry air [max.
100 psi (7.0 kg/cm2)] inside the element, moving the
nozzle up and down while rotating the element.
2. Water wash cleaning. Soak the element 10 minutes
in lukewarm water and nonfoaming detergent
solution. Rinse with water [max. 40 psi (2.8 kg/cm2)]
from the inside of the element until the rinse water is
clean. Air dry; do not use compressed air to dry.
Inspect after cleaning by placing a light inside the

element. Replace the element if it is ruptured, has
pinholes or damaged gaskets. Always replace the
element after three cleanings or 6 months, whichever
occurs first.
Under normal conditions, the heat-sensitive thermostat

in the water outlet will maintain temperatures within the
desired limits of 190 - 200F. (88 - 93C.)
CAUTION
Cooling System Maintenance
Remember that if the engine is to be operated with the

thermostat removed - and this is not recommended except
in emergency - some provision must be made to block off
the bypass passage or water will continue to
recirculate without passing through the radiator or other
external cooling system. Shutters or other means will be
required to maintain the temperature at the desired level.
When adding antifreeze compounds on a percentage

basis remember to include the coolant volume of the radiator and other external parts of the cooling system. The
following table should be used as a guide:

Never fill the cooling system with only water if the engine is
to be exposed to subfreezing temperatures. This applies
even when warm water is used, because the water in the
radiator and jacket passages cools rapidly and is likely to
freeze during the next shutdown, Mix the proper
proportion of antifreeze and water before filling the
engine.
Ordinarily, thermostats will seldom need replacement in

the field. They should be checked annually, however, and
are quickly accessible by removing the thermostat
housing at the forward end of the cylinder head. To
accomplish this, simply remove the water outlet
connection hose, and the cap screws securing the
housing, Thermostats damaged by corrosion or other
causes are not repairable and must be replaced.
Thermostats should be tested in hot water for proper

opening. A bucket or other container should be filled with
sufficient water to cover the thermostat. Suspend a good
quality thermometer in the water so that the sensitive bulb
portion does not rest directly on the bucket bottom or side.
A stove or torch is used to bring the water to a heat range
of 170F. (77C.), while the thermostat is submerged in
the water.
Stir the water for even heating. As the temperature

passes the 175F. (79C.) range, the thermostat should
start to open and should be completely open when the
temperature has risen to about 195F. (91C.). Lifting the
thermostat into the colder temperature of the surrounding
air should cause a pronounced closing action and the unit
should close entirely within a short time.
A large thermostat is used to ensure adequate reserve

circulation for heavy operation and to pass large volumes of cooling water. Be careful to seat the thermostat
squarely and concentrically to avoid interference with the
thermostatic action. Also, be certain the thermostat seal
is in place.
To drain the cooling system, drain the external

components and remove the drain plug from the left
rear side of the engine, and from the oil cooler (when so
equipped).
107
Cleaning the Cooling System

When clean, soft water is used as a coolant, and when the
proper inhibitors or antifreeze solutions are used, radiator
and cooling passage accumulations will not be excessive.
About once a year, however, the engine will benefit if the
cooling system is cleaned of sludge and sediment.
A number of excellent commercial cooling system cleaners are available. Arrow Specialty Company suggests,
however, that an operator considering the use of such
a cleaner first investigate its possible reaction with the
copper and bronze parts in the engine. If such a cleaner
is used, follow the manufacturers recommendations
carefully.
108
The belt driven water pump requires no special

packaging or attention during its service life. The durable
water pump has an internal seal, used in combination with
a permanently lubricated integral ball bearing and pump
shaft.
When servicing this water pump, the entire shaft,

bearing, and seal must be disassembled from the pump
body. Since an arbor press is required to remove the seal,
field repairs are not recommended unless such
equipment is readily available.
The sealing member of the pump consists of a smooth

carbon washer riding against a polished surface.
Using A timing Light

1. Connect the timing light power leads to the battery
observing proper polarity (if applicable).
2. Connect the timing light signal lead into the number
one spark plug lead, using the supplied adaptor.
3. Remove white plastic cap from timing adjustment
screw.
4. Start engine and aim the timing light at the timing hole
pointer in the flywheel housing. Some engines have a
notch in the crankshaft pulley and a timing pointer out
the front gear cover. Be sure to aim directly toward
the center. On some models a button on the timing
light will have to be pushed to cause light to flash; on
others the light will flash automatically. The correct
firing degree mark on the timing tape should now
appear under the reference pin. If not:
5. Using a slotted screw driver, turn the timing adjustment

screw to desired setting.
6. Reinstall white cap on timing screw.
Checking Spark Plug Gap

Examine plugs for cracked porcelain, leakage, burned
electrodes, deposits on the center insulator, and incorrect
gap. Check washer, thread, and seating surface conditions. Remember, a plug may appear satisfactory and
not fire properly.
NOTE: When replacing spark plugs, use new gaskets.

Proper seating of the gasket is necessary for
sealing the combustion chamber and transfer
ring heat from the plug. Use spark plug tap
to clean threads. Clean threads allow for
proper heat transfer.
Spark Plug Adjustments

Misfiring or ragged operation may be due to faulty spark
plugs caused by carbon accumulations and burning of the
electrodes. They should be cleaned, inspected, and the
gaps checked approximately every 250 hours of operation, or more often if the engine idles for prolonged periods. After 500 hours, it is advisable to replace the entire
set when any spark plug is defective.
Deposits on the electrodes and insulator can be removed

by commercial abrasive cleaners. Scraping the insulator is not recommended, since the resulting scratches
increase the tendency of forming carbon deposits.
After the spark plug has been cleaned, and the center
electrode filed, adjust the gap with a round wire gauging tool to .025 (.64 mm) by bending the outer electrode.
Since the spark plugs will have a tendency to burn the
electrodes and widen the gap, it is important that the gap
be checked whenever the plugs are removed from the
engine. Engine misfiring at low speeds is very often due
to a wide spark plug gap.
109
Magneto Servicing
The magneto is a solid state, capacitor discharge type.
There are no breaker points to adjust or replace. Repair
and overhaul operations require specialized training and
equipment and should be made only at authorized service
agencies.
timing the Magneto

The magneto timing procedure follows the steps given for
timing the distributor very closely. The flywheel must be
rotated until the proper timing mark aligns with the timing
hole pointer in the flywheel housing and the number one
piston is coming up on the compression stroke. This is
the point at which firing occurs when the engine is running.
Locate the timing marks on magneto housing for clockwise rotation. Rotate drive gear until the red mark on the
shaft lines up with clockwise mark on housing. The figure
below shows the timing mark indication and drive coupling alignment.
Mount unit to engine keeping the above two red lines

together as close as possible, loosen magneto
mounting fasteners and adjust magneto as required to
realign timing marks.
Final timing is done with the flange mounting screws

snug. Connect a battery powered timing light to the spark
plug lead of the number one cylinder and check the timing
with the engine running. If the timing is not correct, tap
the magneto by hand enough to rotate it on the mounting
flange. With careful tapping, one direction or the other as
required, exact timing is readily determined. The flange
mounting screws must then be tightened.
110
Alternator Servicing
Alternator servicing within this manual is limited to testing
the unit on the engine and replacing it if defective.
Continuity Testing
1. With the engine off, check the drive belt for proper
tension.
2. For external field excitation only
If the tach is inoperable, check for A/C on back of tach.

Our alternators are self exciting. On engines equipped
with the CD-1 ignition, if the B+ cable is removed from
the battery and the engine dies the alternator is bad.
Output testing
Remove the battery wire from the alternator battery terminal and connect an ammeter in series as shown in the
illustration. Run the engine at 1000 - 1200 rpm. Should
read 13.7 VDC for older Delco alternators.
Alternator Pulley Removal And Installation tool

(Delco Remy Alternators Only)
When replacing the alternator, remove the alternator
pulley and retain it for use with the replacement alternator. A special tool has been designed to perform this
step. The materials and dimensions for making this tool
are included in the illustration.
When installing or removing the alternator pulley nut,

place the pulley nut holder in a vise and position the alternator into the nut holder as illustrated. Use the allen
wrench attachment to loosen or tighten the shaft-to-pulley
nut. The pulley nut should be torqued to 60 ft. lbs. (81.35
N-m).
111
CARBUREtOR ADJUStMENtS
The normal installation for natural gas uses a field regulator to reduce pounds pressure to the final value of 5 (127
mm) water column (3 oz.) maximum. Excessive pressure
will increase gas fuel consumption and cause hard starting.
WARNING
For reasons of safety, all gas installations in closed areas
or buildings should have a positive shut-off valve to prevent gas leakage when the engine is at rest.
With the Arrow carburetor, VR Series engines use a 1
line pressure regulator with a 3/8 orifice. The regulator
utilizes spring 1B6538 (red) with 5-10 psi (.35 to .70 kg/
cm2) inlet line pressure and 5 (127 mm) water column
outlet pressure to the carburetor for 1000 BTU LHV gas.
The main mixture valve will be full open and there will be
no idle screw in the side of the carburetor main body. All
settings will be fixed for emissions (natural gas only LPG
may be different.)
Low Idle Adjustment

1. Reduce the throttle speed setting to bring the
carburetor butterfly valve lever against low idle stop.
2. Adjust the carburetor idle stop screw to obtain the
desired engine rpm.
3. Adjust the carburetor idle fuel adjustment screw to
obtain the highest engine rpm.
4. Re-adjust the idle stop screw to obtain the desired
engine rpm.
(with regulator spring removed and valve mounted

upside down) provide 1 to 1 - (25 to 38 mm) water
column negative pressure to the carburetor fuel inlet.
Line pressure regulators utilized with vaporized LPG
are adjusted the same as for natural gas to supply 5
(127 mm) water column gas pressure to the pressure
reducing valve.
Digester Gas Carburetor Adjustments

For low BTU fuels (500 to 800 BTU) such as digester
gas, a special DG carburetor must be used. Digester gas
should be regulated to the carburetor at approximately 6
(152 mm) water column pressure. For digester gases of
different heat values, slightly higher or lower pressures are
required and adjustment is normally made in the field.
Ignition timing for digester gas should be set the same as

for natural gas.
Adjustment procedures for a digester gas system differ
from natural gas adjustments only the 6 (152 mm) water
column gas pressure required at the carburetor fuel inlet.
Carburetor adjustments are the same as for natural gas
systems.
GOVERNOR ADJUStMENtS
Should the governor and linkage have to be dismantled to
permit access to the engine for other service work, there
are some basic requirements to be followed. Upon disassembly the parts of the governor and linkage must be
carefully marked so they will be reassembled in exactly
the same position. The length of the linkage must be
carefully noted so that when the engine is stopped and
the throttle lever is in full speed position, the throttle valve
stands just a trifle toward the closed position. Variation
from the proper speed can be corrected by changing the
tension of the regulating spring. Increasing the tension
increases the maximum speed, and decreasing the tension decreases the maximum speed.
Lp Gas Carburetor Adjustments

The adjustment sequence for Arrow carburetors when
operated on liquid or vaporized LPG is very similar to the
adjustment sequence for natural gas, with the following
exceptions:
CAUTION
We recommend only HD-5 propane for LP-gas fueled
engine operation. All data in this manual is based on the
use of HD-5 propane.
1. LP gas inlet pressure to the carburetor must be 1 to
1 - (25 to 38 mm) (negative) water column as set
by the IMPCO JB vaporizer regulator (blue spring)
2. If vaporized LPG is used, the pressure reducing valves
112
As an aid to quick stabilization at minimum and maximum

speeds, a small surge screw is incorporated.
Valve Clearances
Accurate valve clearance settings prolong engine life and
aid performance. In addition to impairing performance,
excessive clearances are detrimental to camshafts and
valve lifters.
On the other hand, when the clearances are too tight, timing
is disturbed and the possibility of burned valves increases.
Valve clearances specified in the Basic Engine Data section of this manual and on the engine timing plate are for
normal room temperatures, not for hot engines.
Compression testing
To check the compression of gas engines, a standard
automotive type compression tester with a threaded
adapter can be used.
Before checking compression, be sure the engine has
been warmed up to operating temperature. The throttle
must be held in the open position and the ignition switch
in the shut off position. Note the number of compression
stokes needed to obtain the highest pressure reading.
Repeat compression testing for each cylinder using the
same number of compression strokes as used for the first
cylinder tested.
to adjust the valves:

1. Remove the rocker arm cover and bar the engine over
until number 6 cylinder (number 4 on four-cylinder
engines) is at the valve overlap point. (This is when
the exhaust valve is nearly closed, and the intake
valve is just beginning to open.) You can now adjust
the valves on cylinder number 1, since it is no the
compression stroke with both valves closed (valve
lifters on base circle).
Normal compression pressures at cranking speed are

listed in the Repair and Replacement unit under Basic
Engine Data. Uneven compression or pressures lower
than normal call for further checking. Valve regrinding,
piston ring replacement, or other overhaul procedures
may be required to correct the problem.
2. Use a feeler gauge to check the clearance between

the valve stem and the rocker arm. To adjust the
clearance, loosen the lock nut on the adjusting screw.
Turn the adjusting screw until you feel a slight drag on
the feeler gauge.
3. Tighten the lock nut. Recheck the clearance to be
sure you did not turn the adjusting screw when you
tightened the lock nut.
The remaining cylinders in the firing order are adjusted in
the same way. The following charts show what cylinder
valves to adjust at each valve overlap point.

test Procedures For Engine

Protection Devices
Simulate a low oil pressure shutdown by closing the

needle valve in the oil pressure line to the Switchgage.
This will trap oil pressure in the system.
Then slowly open the needle valve in the line to waste,
observing the oil pressure indicated by the test gauge
when the Switchgage is actuated.
If necessary, adjust the Switchgage as required ad repeat

the test. After testing, immediately close the needle valve
in the line waste and open the needle valve in the oil pressure line to the Switchgage.
High Water temperature (Hwt) test

To assure high temperature shutdown, the temperature
sensor bulb should be removed from the thermostat housing and immersed in hot water. Then the water should be
heated until it boils. Allow sufficient time for the sensor to
actuate the control.
NOTE: The preceding tests apply to the typical safety

controls used on VR engines. If engines con
tain special controls, test procedures can be
obtained from Arrow Specialty Department.
Engine Storage

Preservation of engines and generators in storage

involves several basic requirements. For new engines
and generators, these are as follows:
1. Protection of machined metal surfaces, cylinders,
valves, bearings, and so on, from the effects of both
dampness and salt or other corrosive substances in
the atmosphere.
2. Protection of openings into the engine against

entrance of dirt, abrasive material, and foreign matter
of all types.
3. Protection of accessory equipment, including
carburetors, gas regulators, magnetos, starters,
generators, and fan belts against corrosion, dirt,
moisture saturation and deterioration.
4. Protection of the cooling system and LPG vaporizers
against freezing, rusting, or seizure.
5. Protection of a general nature against the elements:
rain, snow, and extremes of temperature.
6. Protection of batteries by disconnecting and removing
them to a slow charging station where they can be
kept fully charged. If this is neglected, the plates can
be damaged and ruined by becoming sulphated.
1. The period of time the equipment is likely to be

inoperative.
2. The severity of the weather and atmospheric
conditions at the point of storage. The problems of
storing equipment in a tidewater warehouse, for
example, differ greatly from storage problems in a
location where the air is very dry and dusty.
3. The accessibility of the equipment for periodic

inspection and attention. An engine on a showroom
floor that may be turned over occasionally and given
periodic oiling requires less extensive treatment than
engines crated and stocked in a warehouse.
CONVENtIONAL StORAGE
Storing New Engines
7. Protection of the generator or alternator by covering

all openings to prevent the entry or dust, moisture,
dirt, and rodents. A heavy craft paper will serve this
purpose. Where these openings are in the form of
screened or louvered guards or covered plates, the
protective paper should be placed under these
removable parts. If this is not possible a pressure
sensitive tape can be used to hold the paper in
position.
Do not use masking tape - it is not suitable for this

type of service and will be very difficult to remove
after extended use. Application of protective paper
should be on both inside and outside of large, fixed,
louvered surfaces. Large open areas should have a
corrugated cardboard backing for paper.
8. Protection of switchboards in the same manner as

generators.
In the case of engines previously operated, additional
items must be considered.
9. Protection of interior engine parts, particularly
bearings, cylinder walls, and valves, against
corrosion by the products of combustion combined
with atmospheric moisture and corrosion by
lubricating oil contaminants.
The extent of the attention given to each of the preceding

points of possible damage depends on the judgment of
the person in charge of the equipment. Generally
speaking, the following factors should be taken into
consideration before deciding how much or how little
preservation is required:
All VR Series engines shipped by Arrow Engine Company

will be shipped with the break-in oil and corrosive inhibiting additive. Engines stored outdoors or in a humid environment may require additional preservation methods.
For recommendations, contact the factory.
1. Engines in operable condition:

A. Mix an inhibitive - type preservative oil with
the engine lubricating oil in the proportions
recommended by the manufacturer of the
preservative oil. (With some products no
mixing may be necessary.) Operate the
engine until the oil is hot. Cooling water
used in this run should have an inhibitor, as
explained in the cooling system maintenance.
B. Remove air cleaners from gas engines. With

a manually operated sprayer, squirt can, or
other means, inject preservative oil into the
air intake while the engine is running.
Approximately one minute is ordinarily
adequate. If possible, stop the engine by
slugging enough oil through the air intake to
make it stall. Continue injecting oil until the
engine stops turning.
C. Drain oil and water while hot. If extra

protection is desired, the rocker arm covers
may be removed and a quantity of
preservative oil poured over the rocker
arm and valve mechanisms. Replace the
rocker arm cover and tighten down to seal
the vapor inside the cover.
115
D. For engines not stopped by slugging,

remove spark plugs and squirt or spray
several teaspoons of preservative oil into
each combustion chamber. Coat spark
plugs and reinstall.
Crank the engine in the normal direction

about one-quarter turn and spray each
cylinder again. Do this about eight times,
or until the engine has been turned
through two complete revolutions.
The purpose of this procedure is to bring
each valve into an exposed position so the
preservative oil will coat it.
E. Remove the distributor cap or magneto cover

and apply a small amount of petroleum jelly
to the polished surface of the breaker cam.
Where dampness in storage is expected,
magneto removal may be worthwhile.
D. Depending on the judgement of the operator

as to the severity of storage conditions,
remove oil pan, valve rocker arm cover, gear
cover plates, and as many points as possible
where oil may be sprayed, poured, or
squirted over the interior parts. Replace
all plugs and covers.
F. Wipe the engine clean and dry. Apply wax

type tape or a like material to all openings
such as intake openings in air cleaners,
exhaust outlets, breathers, magneto vents,
and open line fittings.
E. The remaining steps are the same as listed

in E through I for an operable engine.
G. Relieve tension on belts. This is important

because continual tension on belts without
the working action that occurs in normal
operation causes deterioration of the rubber.
H. Apply a coating of a heavy preservative
compound with a brush to all exposedmachined surfaces such as flywheels.
Engines treated in accordance with these instructions will
normally be protected for one year or longer. Continual
inspection, however, is the only way to determine if
protection is adequate.
Storing Engines that Have Been In Service

In the course of normal engine operation, residues of
various combustion products such as lead and sulphur
accumulate in the combustion area and in the lubricating
oil. Portions of these residues combine with atmospheric
moisture to from corrosive compounds. The following
treatment will help reduce damage from this source:
1. Engines in operable condition:

A. Run the engine until the original oil is hot.
Drain.
If possible, crank the engine by hand for one or two turns

about once a month. This helps prevent seizure of water
pump seals. If this is done, however, it is usually best to
add more preservative oil to each cylinder.
B. If practical, run the engine with a good

flushing oil in the crankcase and drain the oil
and water while still hot.
Some types of preservative oil are not well suited to

periodic engine rotation because they are scraped from
the cylinder walls which are then unprotected. Other oils
are not scraped away, and for this reason the operator
should carefully investigate the characteristics of the oil
used.
C. Refill the crankcase with preservative oil, or

with the proper grade of lube oil to which
an inhibitive type preservative oil has
been added in the proportion recommended.
2. When the engine is not operable.
D. Carry out the previous instructions D

through I under Storing New Engines
as the circumstances indicated.
A. Open drains as required to remove oil and

water,
B. Removed the spark plugs and pour or
squirt about a teaspoon (5 cc) of
preservative oil into each cylinder.
C. With hand or mechanically operated
atomizing spray (do not use ordinary
compressed air), inject preservative oil
into each cylinder.
116
2.
When the engine is not operable:

A. Carry out the instructions for an inoperable
new engine.
B. If, in the judgement of the operator, storage
conditions warrant, the engine should be
disassembled, thoroughly cleaned, and
reassembled for treatment as a new engine.
Ordinarily, this last procedure is unnecessary

except in cases where fuels containing
considerable sulphur have been used, or
where extremely bad climatic conditions
prevail.
PRESERVAtION EQUIPMENt AND

MAtERIAL
Sprays And Atomizers
Many times it is necessary to apply protective compound
under difficult field conditions. Several simple tools can
be used to atomize preservative oil and force it into the
manifolds and combustion chambers. One of these is a
manually operated atomizing gun used ordinarily to lubricate inaccessible points on car and truck chassis. Another
is a hand operated pump-type sprayer with a pointed
discharge nozzle (commonly used with insecticides). If
desired, small oil pumps can be rigged with a motor drive
to make a convenient spray unit of the mechanical pressure type. In almost all cases, the air available from shop
compressor lines carries too much moisture to be safe
for this purpose. Do not use high-pressure air from this
source.
Heating Of Preservative Compounds

Many preservative compounds are most effective when
heated before application. If possible the engine should be
warmed prior to applying preservatives. Heating the preservative oils reduces their viscosity so as to gain penetration into accessible areas. In addition, the hot compound
reduces the moisture film at the metal surface and thus
avoids trapping moisture under the preservative layer.
Removal of installed protection should occur upon normal

inspection of the engine, generator, and switchgear interiors
prior to start-up. Partial removal may be necessary in the
course of installation, but this should be kept at a minimum.
Engines that have not been rotated for some time should be
oiled through the spark plug openings and cranked by hand
or with the starting equipment before they are run. Any
resistance to free cranking should be investigated; rust and
corrosion can cause severe seizure that cannot be forced
clear without engine damage.
CAUTION
All generators and switchgear which have been stored
must be checked for insulation resistance with a Megger
prior to being put into service. The megger used should
produce 500 V.D.C. Disconnect the voltage regulator, rotating diodes, suppressors and any other solid state devices
which may be connected to the stator or rotor windings.
The megger value should be: operating voltage 1000
+ 1 (i.e., machine voltage of 480 V.A.C. 1000 = .480 1=1.480 megohms). If any circuit to ground measures less
than the calculated value, consult the Service Department
for necessary corrective measures.
Never attempt to start an engine that has been stored without first cranking it over with the spark plugs out. Spurting
oil, water or preservative compound from these openings
could lead to a possible hydraulic lock if an attempt is made
to operate the engine. Continue to crank the engine with
the starter or by hand until liquid is no longer rejected from
any openings. Inspect intake passages and manifolds for
thickened preservative oil. Oil accumulated in this condition may melt when the engine warms up and cause a runaway.
WARNING
Generally speaking, such heating is confined to 200F. (93
C.) or less. These temperatures are easily reached by placing the preservative container in heated water. Direct heating presents a dangerous and unnecessary fire hazard.
PREPARING tHE ENGINE FOR OPERAtION

AFtER StORAGE
The steps needed to bring an engine into active service
after storage in accordance with these instructions are
about the same as those normally carried out on any new
engine. These are inspection, checking for free rotation,
adequate cooling water or antifreeze, ample lubricating oil
of the correct type and viscosity, and proper adjustments.
In addition, accumulated dust and dirt should be wiped or

washed from the exterior before removing the covers over
the engine openings.
117
turbocharged Engines
The following information is supplied as a general guide
to understanding the operation of turbocharged engines.
It should not be construed as complete engineering or
service data.
As shown in the accompanying schematic diagram, the
exhaust-driven turbine and its attached compressor are
not connected to the working parts of the engine in any
physical manner with the exception of the exhaust and
intake manifolds and the oil lines. The turbocharger will
not be troubled by gear train, belt, or other mechanical
drive engine troubles. Moreover, since the supply of
hot gases under high velocity supplied to the exhaust
turbine is a reflection of the engine speed and load, the
turbocharger output is closely matched to the engine air
requirements. The schematic diagram illustrates how the
high speed compressor driven by the exhaust turbine provides additional air for the combustion process and thus
materially boosts the power output of the engine. The
exhaust back pressure is actually very slight since it is
the velocity of the gas and its unused energy that is put
to work.
The turbine or driving member of the unit is made of a

special heat resisting alloy. It is surrounded by a housing
which directs the flow of exhaust gases onto the turbine
blades. On the opposite end of the same shaft, which
supports the compressor, the precision-made aluminum
alloy impeller operates within a surrounding diffuser
housing. Both turbine and compressor turn at the same
speed. The full load speed of the two units together with
their shaft is approximately 90,000 (ninety thousand) rpm.
For this reason, these parts must be in a close to perfect balance as possible. Not even the slightest filing,
scraping, sandblasting, drilling, cleaning or repair procedure that could conceivably remove or add metal can be
permitted. A very small amount of unbalance can cause
severe damage at the speeds involved.
The possibility of excessive muffling or unusually restrictive exhaust pipe installations should always be considered when checking turbocharger efficiency. In general,
the turbocharger is an effective muffling device. When
additional muffling is required, contact your distributor or
Arrow Engine Company.
118
Since the turbocharger is basically a centrifugal air pump

driven by a gas turbine, anything which causes leakage or
impedes the gas flow will reduce the efficiency and power
output. In all cases where engine turbocharging and
power output seem to be less than normal, check first for
possible leaks in the connections at the intake manifold
and exhaust manifold. Very slight leaks are sometimes
serious contributors to low engine efficiency. The next
point to check under low performance conditions would
be the possibility of a partially clogged air cleaner. It is
essential that the air cleaners be as efficient as possible
to prevent substantial amounts of dirt from reaching the
impeller. Turbocharged engines draw much more air than
naturally aspirated engines draw. Therefore, proper and
regular air cleaner maintenance is a must.
Since even the most efficient air cleaner is certain to pass

a slight amount of fine dirt, it is possible for some of this
material to collect on the impeller if sufficient oil or other
binder material is present. This can cause impeller imbalance and will definitely reduce efficiency. Depending on
conditions, a periodic program should be established for
removal of the air inlet connection at the compressor to
inspect for dirt accumulation on the compressor surfaces.
When and if dirt is found, never scrape away such material with a screwdriver, dirty rag, sandpaper, or emery or
steel wool. Such techniques are certain to damage the
compressor. Clean with a clean, soft brush and solvent.
Cleaning must be complete and even all the way around
turbocharger Preventive Maintenance

All air duct and gasket connections should be routinely
checked for tightness and leaks. Repair and loose or
leaking connection immediately. Ingestion of dirt into the
compressor can cause severe wear and damage to the
turbocharger as well as the engine.
Leaking pressure joints cause loss of power and engine

overheating. Excessive dirt buildup in the compressor can
also cause a considerable loss of power and overheating. Accumulations should be removed with a non-caustic cleaning solvent. Observe schedule lube oil change
intervals to ensure normal service life of the turbocharger
bearings. Use the recommended lube oil and genuine
Arrow replacement filters. Turbocharged engines should
be idled for several minutes after starting and before shutdown to prevent oil lag failures to turbocharger bearings.
This is particularly important during cold weather or when
the equipment has not been in use for extended periods.
NOTE: Because the turbine side of the turbocharger

can flex when it is hot, care should be taken
to ensure that the weight of the exaust system
is not carried by the turbocharger. The muffler
and its piping should be supported
independently and connected to the
turbocharger by a flexible coupling.
119
TROUBLESHOOTIN
G
A well planned troubleshooting program can help determine the cause or causes of unsatisfactory engine operation and help point out the action needed to correct the
problem. A working knowledge of how engine systems
work, combined with the trouble shooting chart in this unit
and current indications from the engine instrument panel,
provide the best background for good trouble shooting.
OPERAtING CONtROLS
Electrical System
The engine electrical system consists of a battery, heavyduty starter and alternator, regulating devices, switches,
and circuits similar to automotive installations. The
engine is started by closing a circuit from the battery to
the starter. The starting motor solenoid provides positive
engagement of the pinion before cranking. After cranking
is completed and the engine starts, the solenoid disengages. The alternator recharges the battery. Cutouts and
regulators control the alternators output and protect the
system from reverse currents and excessive charging.
Most VR Series engines are equipped with the following

operating controls (see illustration).
Arrow Engine Company supplies engines with negatively
grounded electrical equipment only. This standardization
of electrical system polarity is common for most equipment manufacturers, and this increases compatibility
between supplied electrical equipment and that supplied
by the equipment builder.
Cooling System
A pressure circulating cooling system is used on the VR
Series engines. The water enters the water pump inlet on
the left side of the engine. The centrifugal pump pulls this
supply of cool water through the pump body and forces
it into a passage leading directly into the engine cylinder
jacket. The water enters the engine just above the lower
end of the cylinder sleeves. From here, the water flow
is directed around the cylinder sleeves until it passes
upward from the crankcase and into the passages in the
cylinder heads. These passages are carefully designed
to allow the cooling water to have access to the areas
around the valve seats and valve guides. Water is collected from the cylinder head and enters the thermostat
housing at the forward end. The thermostat regulates
the engine temperature by automatically controlling the
amount of coolant passing through the cooler or radiator
core. Back pressure at the water outlet must not exceed
5 psi (.35 kg/cm2).

Air Intake System

With the exception of adequate supplies of clean oil and
water, probably no other single service item contributes
as much to engine life as a properly working air cleaner.
This is particularly true under dusty and agricultural operating conditions, but surprising amounts of abrasive dirt
are present in even the cleanest engine room. If carried
into the engine through the air inlet, such abrasives would
rapidly wear away cylinder walls, valve stems, bearings
and other working parts.
Some of the adverse effects of excessive back pressure

are loss of power, smoking, poor fuel economy, excessive valve temperatures, premature valve wear, and jacket
water overheating.
The exhaust system of an engine, particularly when using
long exhaust pipes, can accumulate condensed moisture.
If this moisture is allowed to run back through the piping
and into the engine after shutdown, rusting and sticking of
valves, rings, etc. and the possibility of a hydraulic lock
become serious. Always provide a condensate trap and
drain at some low point ahead of the engine manifolds.
FUEL SYStEMS
Natural, Lp, And Digester Gas Carburetion
The Arrow carburetor is structurally simple, consisting of a
main body with a conventional butterfly throttle valve and a
diaphragm operated gas metering valve. The amount of air
going to the engine is measured by an airflow measuring
valve. This valve rises in direct proportion to the air volume
passing through it. The gas metering valve is mechanically
fixed to the air measuring valve. As the air valve rises, the
gas valve rises with it, thus opening the gas passage proportionately to the amount of air entering the engine. This
establishes and holds a definite fuel/air ratio throughout the
engine operating range.
Even
though the dust particles are small, they can cause great
damage. It is mandatory that air inlet connections be
kept tight to avoid taking in unfiltered air beyond the air
cleaner.
The purpose of all air cleaners is to trap dirt and grit. The
element must be cleared or changed as dirt accumulates.
This could be several times each day if conditions are
especially bad.
Exhaust System
Efficient removal of engine exhaust is very important. An
engine consumes an incredible amount of air. After combustion takes place, the products of combustion must be
pushed out of the cylinders, manifolds and exhaust piping.
Every possible provision must be made to minimize the
restriction or back pressure in an exhaust system.
121
Ignition Systems
Smooth combustion requires fuel ignition within the cylinders at finely defined intervals. VRG Series engines are
equipped with a magneto or CD-1 ignition to provide the
precisely defined firing pattern.
There is little difference between a magneto and a distributor. A distributor depends upon an alternator and
storage battery for its primary current; the magneto uses
a primary current generated within itself by rotation of permanent magnets between the pole shoes.
Distributors are driven by a tang which is mated with a slot

in the upper face of the oil pump drive gear. CD-1 maintains set timing through out the RPM range.
Lubrication System
The lubrication system on every VR220/330 engine uses
a gear-type oil pump and a full flow filter. The oil cooler is
optional on all engines.
The suction produced on the inlet side of the oil pump
draws the oil through the slotted pickup tube (which
screens the oil) and into the pump inlet. The oil is discharged under pressure at the top of the pump.
Oil gallery pressure is controlled by the adjustable pressure relief valve, located in the oil pump body. Correct oil
pressure is 40-50 psi (2.81 - 3.52kg/cm2) at 2600 rpm. To
adjust pressure, the oil pan must be removed to get at the
pump. Turn the relief valve adjusting screw in to increase
oil pressure; back it out to decrease pressure.
All the oil then passes through the full flow filter (and
cooler, if used) and into the main oil gallery. If the filter
is clogged and excessive pressure builds up, a bypass
valve in the filter allows oil to go directly to the gallery.
Drilled passages carry the oil from the gallery to the crankshaft main bearings, to the camshaft bushings and to the
balancer. (The balancer is available as an option on four
cylinder engines only. If the balancer is not used, the
balancer oil passageway in the bottom of the crankcase,
near the right front main bearing cap, must be closed off
with a plug.)
Oil from the crankshaft main journals travels through

drilled passages and lubricates the crankshaft pin bearings. The piston pin bushings are lubricated by oil flowing
from the crankpin bearing through a drilled passage in
each connecting rod.
Oil flows through a notch in the bearing shell of the front

main bearing and into a short passage that intersects with
the left mounting screw hole for the bearing cap. Oil travels around the counterbore relief of the screw threads and
122
through a crankcase passage to the idler gear spindle.

Both of the passages and the mounting screw hole must
be clean; otherwise, the idler fear bushing will not get
enough oil.
The idler gear spindle has an annulus cut into its base.
Oil enters the annulus, travels through the shaft and lubricates the bushing. The end of the spindle must be closed
off with a pipe plug; otherwise, the gear bushing will not
get a pressurized supply of oil and engine oil pressure
will drop.
Oil goes to the idler gear and then to the governor though
an external connection.
Within the front gear case, oil splash and oil mist lubricate
all the meshing gear teeth, the fuel injection and transfer
pump drives, and the magneto drive.
The rocker arm assembly is lubricated by oil that flows
under metered pressure through a drilled crankcase passageway coming from the number two camshaft bushing.
This oil then drains back to the sump through cylinder
head and crankcase drain holes, simultaneously lubricating the valve lifters and camshaft lobes.
The use of an oil cooler is optional. Oil goes from the

filter, into the cooler and then into the gallery.
The turbocharger is lubricated by a full pressure oil line
coming from the base of filter adapter. After lubricating
and cooling the turbocharger, the oil drains back through
the crankcase and into the oil pan.
On engines with the optional hydraulic pump drive on the
back of the front fear case, a camshaft outboard bushing is provided in the gear cover to support the camshaft
front extension.Oil flows from the front camshaft bushing,
through drilled passages in the camshaft and then to the
outboard bushing. The end of the camshaft front extension must be sealed with a pipe plug. The camshaft thrust
plate on the crankcase front end is also lubricated from
the front camshaft bushing.
On four cylinder engines equipped with the optional balancer, oil under pressure flows down from the gallery and
through a vertical passage at the right front of the crankcase. The pipe plug in this hole must be removed on
balancer-equipped engines. Oil enters the front end of
the balancer cradle, where it lubricates the bushing of the
drive gear spindle and the front bushings of both balancer
shafts. Drilled passageways in the balancer shafts carry
the oil to the rear bushings of the balancer shafts.
Depending on the engine configuration and application,

you may add oil to the engine through the dipstick tube,
through the rocker arm cover, in the left front or left rear of
the engine, or in the right rear or right front of the engine.
123
Balancer (Vr220 Only)

The balancer receives oil that flows down from the main
oil gallery and through a vertical passage at the front of
the crankcase. On engines without balancers, the bottom
of this passageway is plugged. If the balancer is being
used, the pipe plug must be removed in order for the balancer to get oil.
The back end of the balancer idler spindle is closed off

with a pipe plug, and there are two more pipe plugs sealing oil passages in the front end of the balancer cradle.
All plugs must be in place as these are full oil pressure
passages.
The balancer must be correctly timed to the engine. The

B that is stamped on the face of the balancer idler gear
must be aligned with the B that is no the face of the
crankshaft gear. The P that is stamped on the idler gear
124
must be aligned with the P on the balancer driven pinion.

And the G that is on the face of the balancer driven gear
must be aligned with the G on the balancer driven gear.
You should not have to retime the pinion driven gear or
driver gear unless the balancer has been completely
disassembled. If you have removed the balancer as an
assembly, you should make sure that the balancer idler
gear is timed to the crankshaft gear during reinstallation.
CAUTION
If balancer is removed from the engine permanently, the
oil supply hole in the underside of the crankcase must be
plugged to prevent oil pressure loss.

Vacuum Balance
Mechanical Governors
Mechanical centrifugal type governors are used on VR
gas and gasoline engines with a variable speed swinging
spring adaptation. Two weights, driven directly from the
engine gear train, respond to variations in engine speed
by moving inward or outward from the governor shaft.
This movement is transmitted to the governor weight
shifter lever through a pilot bearing sliding on the governor shaft. From the shifter lever the movement is carried to the throttle valve in the carburetor by a series of
linkages. On centrifugal governors, as the engine slows
down under an applied load, the weight moves inward
due to the reduced centrifugal force. Through the linkage
system, this weight movement causes the throttle valve
to open and admit more fuel and air to the engine, thus
restoring normal loaded speed.
The governor also acts as a protective device to prevent

engine damage due to overspeed. Here, as the speed
increases towards that speed established as the maximum, the weights move outward under the increased
centrifugal force. This movement is opposed by the governor spring. When the force acting on the weights is
balanced by the spring tension the governor linkage stabilizes. At this point the amounts of fuel and air entering the engine are held to those needed for the selected
maximum speed and no more.
An adjustable eye bolt with locking nuts can also be used

for closer regulation within the variable speed range.

REPAIR &
REPLACEMENT
CRANKCASE
The VR220/330 crankcase is a singe piece iron casting.

There are five main bearing supports for the 4 cylinder
engine and seven main bearing supports for the 6 cylinder engine. There are also locations for four or six wettype cylinder sleeves. There are cooling water passages
between the side walls of the crankcase casting and the
cylinder sleeves. Thus, the sleeves are always in direct
contact with the coolant. The cylinder sleeves are removable, so it is necessary to maintain a seal at the upper and
lower sleeve-to-crankcase contact surfaces. This is done
at the top of the sleeve by the head gasket which seals
the mating surfaces of the sleeve flange and the crankcase deck. The bottom seal is made with three rubber
seal rings at the lower end of the sleeve.
The crankcase has three (VR220) or four (VR330) support

locations for the camshaft journals. These support the camshaft at the front and rear and at one or two intermediate
points. All camshaft supports have pressed-in bushings.
VR220/330 engines equipped with the optional hydraulic pump drive have an additional bearing pressed in the
gear cover, in front of the cam gear.
At the rear end of the crankcase is a mounting surface for
a flywheel housing and a retainer for the crankshaft liptype oil seal. To ensure accurate mounting of the clutch or
other drive unit in the flywheel housing, this rear mounting
surface is held to very close tolerances. Whenever the
power take-off, flywheel, or flywheel housing is removed,
the runouts for the flywheel face, flywheel housing face,
flywheel housing bore, and pilot bearing bore should be
checked and adjusted as required. (See Installation section.) The rear oil seal should be installed between flush
with and .060 (1.52 mm) below the back surface of the oil
retainer. The oil seal lip faces towards the crankcase.
If the head has not been removed and the valve seals are
to be replaced, care must be taken so the valves dont fall
into the cylinder when the valve tapers are removed.
To secure the valves, remove spark plug. Fit an air hose
adapter to the spark plug hole, and fill the cylinder with
compressed air. The cylinder must be kept pressurized
at all times. The air pressure will be enough to keep the
valves in the closed position.
To install these seals, proceed as follows:

1. Make sure the valve and guide assemblies are
clean.
2. Gently slide the seal over the valve stem, and down
until it comes into contract with the valve guide. The
end of the seal with the widest opening must be over
the guide.
3. Press the seal into place. All downward pressure
should be exerted on the lower retaining ring, not on
the polyacrylic part of the seal.
Never re-use valve stem seals. Always replace with new

seals whenever a valve, valve guide or valve stem seal is
removed.
The exhaust valves of all VR Series engines and both
valves on Turbocharged gas engines seat on hardened
valve seat inserts in the cylinder heads. These insets
are shrunk and pressed into place. Intake and exhaust
guides are pressed into place in the cylinder heads, but
may be replaced.
Valves and springs are held in position by hardened

retainers, which are stepped to center the springs. The
retainers are seated on split-taper locks.
Faced mounting bosses and connections are provided on
the crankcase exterior for mounting accessories, lines,
and other equipment. Crankcase ventilation is accomplished by a breather tube located in the valve cover.
Cylinder Heads And Valves

The cast iron cylinder head is designed and fabricated especially for the temperatures and pressures of industrial use.
The poppet-type intake and exhaust valves on the VR
Series engines have hardened tips and recesses for splittaper locks.
All VR Series engines intake and exhaust valves use a
valve stem sea., consisting of a polyacrylic jacket and two
steel retaining rings.
Valve actuation is obtained through chilled and polished

mushroom-type valve lifters, riding directly on the camshaft lobes. This motion is transmitted to the rocker arms
by tubular steel push rods, equipped with a hardened
socket at the top end and a hardened tip at the bottom.
There is a socket in the valve lifter to receive the lower
end push rod tip.
The ductile iron rocker arms pivot on a hardened, hollow

steel shaft. The rocker arms are curved to align with their
respective intake or exhaust valve tips. To ensure long
wear and accurate adjustment, the rocker arms are hardened in the valve-rocker arm contact area. Drilled openings along the shaft mate with passages in the rocker arms
to permit lubrication of the entire overhead mechanism.
137
Cylinder Sleeves
The wet-type cylinder sleeves are iron centrifugal castings, designed for long wearing qualities and resistance to
distortion. Each sleeve has a shoulder and flange at the
upper end to locate the sleeve in crankcase and prevent
shifting and leakage when the cylinder head and gasket
are torqued into position. This flange, and the crankcase
deck recess into which it fits, both have precision-finished
mating surfaces to form a water seal. The cylinder sleeve
projects above the deck to ensure a tight crush gasket
joint. Whenever sleeves are installed, sleeve projection
should be checked. The lower end of the sleeve projection should be checked. The lower end of the sleeve is
tapered, with grooves immediately above the taper for the
rubber sealing rings. The top two grooves contain a black
rubber sealing ring and the bottom groove a red silicone
sealing ring.
Cylinder Sleeve Projection

The following procedure should be used to measure cylinder sleeve projection:
1. After removal of the head, clean carbon and other
deposits from the face of the block and sleeve
projections.
2. Place a metal bar across the center of the sleeve and
bolt both ends into place using 150 ft. lbs. (203.4 N-m)
torque. This step will force the sleeve into the position
it normally occupies when the head is in place.
3. Use a dial indicator to measure the height of the
sleeve projection above the face of the block.
Pistons
The aluminum alloy pistons are heavy-duty castings. The
piston pins are full floating, and are held in the piston by
two spring-type clips. Two compression and one oil control ring are used on all pistons.
CAUTION
Pistons for all VR220/330 Series engines are marked with
the word FRONT and an arrow, and must be installed with
the arrow pointing towards the gear cover (front) end of
the engine.
Connecting Rods
I-section connecting rods are used in the VR Series. The
rods and caps are forged. Hard bronze bushings are a
press fit in the piston-pin end and are diamond bored for
138
precise alignment. Piston pin bushings should be installed

between flush with and .010 (.25 mm) below the side of
the rod. Press each bushing in so that the relief notch on
the side of the bushing surrounds, but does not cover, the
oil hole in the connecting rod. Connecting rods are never
bent for alignment purposes, neither at the factory nor in
the field. Two heat-treated connecting rod screws hold
the bearing caps in place. The upper and lower halves of
connecting rod bearings are interchangeable.
CAUTION
The connecting rodcap must be aligned to the blade during
rod installation. Improper rod alignment will decrease side
play and lead to rapid rod and crankshaft wear.
To align the blade and cap, hold the cap in position against
the rod blade and snug the bolts into position. Do not
tighten the bolts. Then, with a soft hammer, alternately
tap the rod blade and then the rod cap to either side of the
crank, against one of the crank thrust areas. When both
the rod blade and cap are against the same thrust area,
the cap and blade will be in alignment, and the connecting
rod bolts can be torqued.
Crankshaft
The crankshaft is precision ground from a heat-treated
steel forging. The crankshaft has flame-hardened main
bearing journals which run in steel backed, alloy bearing
shells. Connecting rod bearings are of similar construction for maximum serviceability.
CAUTION
The main bearing shells are stamped upper and lower
and are not interchangeable. The main bearing upper
shells are grooved while the lower are not.
The rear extremity of the shaft has an integral mounting

flange for the flywheel. This flange is drilled and tapped
for six flywheel mounting bolts. One bolt hole is offset
1/16 inch (1.6 mm) in order to ensure proper flywheel
installation. The front extension of the crankshaft provides the mounting surface to support the press fitted
crankshaft drive gear. The crankshaft pulley is retained
by six crank bolts. Two of the six bolt holes in the front of
the crankshaft are slightly offset to allow for proper crankshaft pulley installation. VR330 Series engines operating
over 2200 rpm are also equipped with a rubber bonded
type vibration damper.
The VR Series crankshafts use a chrome alloy steel ball

to retain the gear. This ball protrudes from a hole drilled
into the nose of the crankshaft. During servicing, take
care not to lose the ball if removing the crankgear. The
gear can be reinstalled by resting the ball in the drilled
hole, and pressing the heated gear into place.
Camshaft
The camshaft is a single casting, with ground cam lobes
and journals. Individual hardened cam lobes actuate each
of the valve lifters. An integral worm gear drive drives
the internal oil pump. The forward end of the camshaft
is keyed to hold the camshaft drive gear. Lubricating oil
is supplied to each of the three or four journal areas. A
steel-backed babbitt bushing, pressed in the main crankcase, supports the camshaft at all three or four journals.
For certain applications, the forward end of the camshaft is

designed to be supported in an outboard bearing pressed
into the front gear cover. These special
application camshafts have oil drillings to feed oil to this
outboard bearing.
CAUTION
The front end of the special application camshaft must be
plugged to prevent loss of oil pressure.
Flywheel
To prevent oil leaks from the flywheel mounting flange
always install the flywheel bolts using type C or CV Loctite. Torque to 65 ft. lbs. (88 N-m).
If it is necessary to replace the camshaft outboard bushing in the gear cover, it should be installed approximately
.125 (3.17 mm) below the counterbore.
139
Installation Of New Valve Lifters Along With

New Camshaft
When a new camshaft is installed to replace a failed or
worn camshaft, an entire set of new valve filters must also
be installed. The new camshaft will not be covered by
warranty unless new lifters are also installed.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Never scrape parts with a metallic scraper.
Castings
Use a cleaning solvent to clean inner and outer surfaces
of castings and all areas exposed to oil and grease.
Remove sludge and gum deposits with a stiff brush.
Wear patterns on the old lifters and/or damaged old lifters

can result in early failure of the new camshaft when new
lifters are not installed.
Protection Of Engine And Parts
After cleaning, blow out all tapped holes and dry castings
thoroughly with compressed air.
Oil Passages
During repair and replacement procedures, care should

be exercised to prevent damaging parts in handling. All
machined surfaces should be protected and kept separate from other parts. Parts that are easily damaged
require particular care to prevent bending, denting, or
breakage. All parts should be covered to protect them
from dirt. This will also speed re-assembly by reducing
cleanup time at assembly.
Clean oil passages with wire brushes or probes to break

up any sludge or gum deposits.
When parts are removed, the resulting openings into the

engine should be covered to keep dirt or other foreign
matter from entering the engine.
When cleaning lube oil passages, do not use any material that will leave lint or other foreign particles in the oil
passages. Clogging or interference in passages may be
caused by any foreign material. Such material could be
worked into the bearings upon operating the engine, or
could block oil flow to the engine components.
Cleaning And Inspection Of Engine Parts

Parts and assemblies can frequently be inspected without
removal or complete disassembly.
Judgement should be exercised to avoid disassembly
beyond what is necessary to correct the fault and put the
part or assembly in serviceable condition.
The following paragraphs describe cleaning procedures

and, where applicable, name cleaning materials to be
used if available. The different metals used in the engine
components require different techniques and cleaning
materials, so a generalization of cleaning methods cannot
readily be supplied.
Wash passages by flushing with cleaning solvent and dry

thoroughly with compressed air.
CAUTION
Oil Seals And Hoses

Clean seals and hoses with soap and water. Do not allow
cleaning solvent to contact seals and hoses.
Ball And Roller Bearings
CAUTION
Do not spin bearings with air
Carbon Removal
Carbon must be removed during maintenance operations
from valves, pistons, and cylinder heads.
Carbon can be removed from hardened surfaces by first
softening the carbon.
Soften the carbon by soaking the parts in a carbon removing compound. Rinse in kerosene or hot water and
remove softened carbon with a rag or soft brush.
Anti-friction bearings should receive special handling. As

soon as a bearing is removed, cover it to keep out dirt and
abrasives. Wash bearings in kerosene and inspect races
and balls or rollers. Discard bearings if they are pitted,
scored, or burned. If a bearing is serviceable, coat it with
light oil and wrap it in clean paper. Do not unwrap bearings until just before installation.
Always use the proper tool or fixture for pulling or pressing

out bearings. Normally, bearings should not be removed
unless replacement is required.
When installing a bearing against the shoulder on a shaft,
140
be sure the chamfered side is toward the shaft shoulder.

When a bearing is to be pressed in, lubricate the mating
surfaces prior to assembly. When a bearing is to be
pressed into a bore, always exert the press forces onto
the outer race of the bearing only. When pressing a bearing onto a shaft, exert the press force on the inner race.
This will avoid bearing distortion.
Oil Seals
Oil seals should not be removed unless absolutely necessary for gaining access to another item, or unless they are
being replaced due to damage or wear. If the seal must
be cut through to remove it, care must be taken not to
damage the seating area around it.
Lubricant leakage around the shaft or bearing is usually a

sign of oil seal failure.
Oil seals that leak, or are worn to a point where they may
begin to leak, must be replaced. An oil leak that is corrected in time will prevent overheated bearings resulting
from a loss of lubricant. Never use oil seals a second time;
once removed, they must be discarded and replaced.
A lubricant must be applied to the lip of all shaft-type

rubber seals before installation. This will prevent seal
damage during initial running, until oil has contacted the
sealing face.
Attaching Parts
Use screws of a correct length. A screw which is too long
may bottom before the head is tight against the part it is
to hold. In addition, the threads may be damaged when
the screw is tightened. If a screw is too short, there will
not be enough thread contact to hold the part securely.
new crankshaft gear, heat the gear in an oven or other

even source of heat to a maximum of 400F. (205C.) to
facilitate installation. Do not use a torch to heat the gear.
The gear will not heat and expand evenly when torch
heated.
WARNING
Use insulated gloves when handling a hot gear.
Quickly place the heated gear onto the crankshaft and
hold it securely in place until it cools and contracts. The
gear may be carefully tapped into place with a soft face
hammer or driving tool if it sticks due to slight cocking or
binding.
If the idler gear bushing is replaced, it should be installed

approximately .125 (3.17 mm) below the front of the gear
hub.
Gaskets
Install gaskets where required and use new ones whenever possible. Never use cork or felt gaskets a second
time.
CAUTION
Be sure the holes in the gaskets correspond with lubricant passages in mating parts. If it is necessary to fabricate gaskets, select stock of a proper type and thickness,
and be sure to cut the holes in the right places. Blank or
incorrectly installed gaskets can cause serious damage
by blocking lubricant passages.
Bushings
In addition to size variations, attaching parts may vary in
material and heat treatment. Do not mix different types of
attaching parts.
Lock washers, cotter pins, or other locks should be used
to lock each nut and cap screw when specified.
Gears
Always use the tools recommended (or equivalent) for
gear removal and installation. Gears must be carefully
inspected for damaged or worn teeth. Always align the
keyway in the gear with the keyway in the shaft before
installation. Lubricate the mating surfaces of the gear and
shaft when pressing the gear onto the shaft.
Do not remove bushings unless inspection reveals

damage or wear that exceeds the specified clearance, or
unless the bushing is loose in its mating bore. Bushings
should be pressed out whenever possible. When pressing or driving (in or out), apply pressure directly in line with
the bore. If the bushing must be driven, use a driver of the
largest possible diameter or a bar with a smooth, flat end.
Never drive bushings with a hammer. If the bushing has
an oil hole, be sure to line up the oil hole in the bushing
with the oil hole in the part in which it is assembled.
NOTE: Service cam bushings should be installed when

cam bushings need replacing. Service cam
bushings are manufactured with dimensions to
allow for proper bearing clearance and
alignment without line reaming.
If crankshaft gear removal is necessary, use an appropriate heavy-duty puller. Never heat the gear for removal,
since this may damage the crankshaft. Before installing
141
Shafts
If a shaft offers unexpected resistance to removal, check
carefully to see that all nuts, keys and cap screws have
been removed before using force. Also check for interference with another part which must be removed first.
Clean the rust preventive compound from all machined
surfaces of all new parts before installing. Shafts fitted to
other parts with tapers are always very tight. If they are
not tight when disassembled, inspect tapers and discard
the part if the taper is worn. Before assembling shafts
with tapers, be sure tapers are clean, dry and free from
burrs. Press mating parts together tightly.
Flexible Hose Lines

Fittings should be installed by threading the swivel nuts on
by hand until they are finger tight. Hold the socket on the
hose with one wrench and tighten the swivel nut securely
with another wrench. This method prevents twisting the
hose and does not exert any strain on the hose. Correct
installation prevents hose damage that would not appear
until there is pressure on the hose.
Repairing Damaged threads

Damaged threads should be repaired by use of thread
restorer or by chasing in a lathe. Internal threads should
be repaired using a tap of a correct size.
If threads cannot be satisfactorily repaired, install a HeliCoil or other standard insert or replace the part.
180 to prevent blowby during initial starting. Rings must

be thoroughly lubricated with engine oil before being
installed in the cylinder sleeve.
Two oil ring rails are separated by an oil ring rail spacer.
The ends of the spacer are butted against each other with
the upper and lower rail gaps staggered 120 and 140
respectively from the spacer gap.
Compression rings of VR Series engines which are
notched on the inner edge must be installed with the
notch toward the top of the piston. Compression rings of
VR Series engines which are notched on the outer edge
must be installed with the notch toward the bottom of the
piston. The rings are stamped TOP or include a center
punch mark which must be installed toward the top of the
piston.
CAUTION
All VR Series engine pistons are marked with an arrow
and the word FRONT, and the piston must be installed
with the arrow pointing toward the front of the engine.
Oil Pump Installation

When the oil pump of VR Series gas or gasoline engines
is removed, it must be re-installed so the ignition drive
keyway is positioned as illustrated, with the number one
piston on the compression stroke and the timing mark
aligned.
Repair Of Damaged Machined And

Polished Surfaces
Smooth rough spots, scores, burrs, galling, and gouges
from damaged machined and polished surfaces so that
the part will efficiently perform its normal function. The
finish of the repaired part is to approximate that of the
original finish. In performing any of these operations, critical dimensions must not be altered.
Removal Of Rust Or Corrosion

Remove corrosion from all parts of the material. To remove
rust or corrosion, use a brass wire brush, abrasive cloth,
bead blast, vapor blast equipment, or rust remover except
on highly polished surfaces. On these surfaces, buffing
or use of crocus cloth is recommended.
CAUTION
Do not expand rings more than is necessary to slip over
the piston. Over-expansion of rings causes stress and
may lead to early failure. Ring gaps should be staggered
142
Water Pump Seal Installation

When installing a new water pump seal, carefully wipe the
carbon sealing surface and the mating ceramic surface
with a soft cloth or absorbent paper to remove all traces
of wax, grease, or oil. Use a small amount of the seal,

apply either a 1% soluble oil and water solution or ethylene glycol type antifreeze to both sealing faces.
Water Pump Or Fan Pulley Installation

Before replacing the water pump or fan pulleys, carefully
check all joining surfaces. These pulleys are held on by
an interference fit. Loctite 601 bearing mount should
always be used to secure the pulley.
Vibration Damper Replacement

The vibration dampers used on current VR330 engines
have radially aligned center punches on the inner
and outer members. When the angular displacement
between these marks equals or exceeds 0.10 inch (2.5
mm), the damper has exceeded its useful life and should
be replaced.
To replace the rubber bonded vibration damper, use the

following procedure:
1. Remove the six screws securing the vibration damper
to the crankshaft pulley.2. Remove damper.
3. Install a new vibration damper on the pulley and
tighten the screws to 27-29 ft. lbs. (37-39 N-m).
Secondary Balancer
The VR220 Series engines can be equipped with a balancer to counteract secondary inertial forces within the
engine. The balancer is a force generator, designed to
create a counteracting force at the right time to reduce
this secondary force harmonic. (Primary, or rotating,
forces are inherently balanced due to the crankshaft
throw arrangement.)
The balancer shafts rotate at twice engine speed, and in
opposite directions to one another. As the balancer shaft
eccentrics rotate up or down together, the centrifugal
forces of the eccentrics combine to counteract the reciprocating forces from the pistons and connecting rods.
As the eccentrics rotate apart or towards each other, the
forces cancel themselves out, thereby creating no lateral
forces.
A Secondary balancer is not required on 6 cylinder

engines, due to the arrangement of the crank throws. All
primary and secondary forces are inherently balanced in
the 6 cylinder VR330 series engines.
Balancer maintenance is minimal. The system is pressure lubricated through crankcase passageways. The
balancer retainers must be torqued to 40-44 ft. lbs. (54-59
N-m) (dry) maximum. Balancer torques and backlashes
are listed in the Fits and Clearances section.
4. Check the torque on the crankshaft pulley cap screws

[should be 37-39 ft. lbs. (50-53 N-m)].
143
engine, being careful not to turn the balancer gears or the

crankshaft. After the balancer is attached to the engine,
check again to see that the flywheel is at 0 TDC and the
balancer shafts have the flats level across and facing up
and the balancer is correctly timed to the engine.
NOTE: After timing marks G-G, P-P, and B-B are lined
up, it could take as many as nineteen
revolutions of the crankshaft before they all line
up again. If the balancer is suspected of being
out of time, rotate the crankshaft until the timing
marks line up. If the timing marks will not line
up within nineteen revolutions, the balancer is
incorrectly timed.
Always be sure to seal the gasket before

installing. Mount the pump firmly to avoid
oil leaks from the gear cover.
Fan Height Adjustment And Fan Belt tightening

Procedures
The fan height on the VR220/330 can be adjusted to 16,
18, 19 or 21 inches above the crankshaft center line by
moving the fan mounting pulley and/or inverting the pulley
mounting bracket.
CAUTION
Crankcases A216020 and C216020 use 28474A retainer.
Crankcase A216020A uses 28669 retainer.
Balancer timing can be accomplished with the gear cover
removed and the flywheel set at 0 TDC (compression
or exhaust stroke), simply line up timing marks G-G and
P-P stamped on the balancer idler gear, driver gear, and
driven gear. Next, install the balancer assembly to the
engine while lining up timing marks B-B stamped on the
balancer idler gear and crankshaft gear. Recheck to see
that the flywheel is still at 0 TDC and the balancer timing
marks all line up.
If the gear cover is not removed from the engine, timing

marks B-B are difficult to see. If you cannot see the
timing marks, use the following to time the balancer to the
engine: The flywheel should again be set at 0 TDC. Line
up timing marks G-G and P-P on the balancer gears. Visually check the balancer shafts to make sure the flats are
level across and in the up position as shown in the illustration below. Next, install the balancer assembly to the

Scope
INSTALLATIO
N
These are general installation requirements. For more

specific requirements, contact the Customer Service
Department at Arrow Engine Company.
Automatic Starting
We recommend the use of jacket water heaters for installations which are subjected to unscheduled automatic
starts and instantaneous loading.
Space Requirements
In order to ensure adequate access for engine installation, ventilation and in-service maintenance, the engine
location must be carefully considered.
The engines described in this manual require a minimum
of 24 inches (60.9 cm) between the engines or between
the engine and wall. End clearance required to remove
the camshaft is 36 inches (91.4 cm). Sufficient overhead
clearance is required to permit the use of a chain hoist for
removal of heavy engine parts. The heaviest part of the
VR220 engine is the short block which weighs approximately 460 lbs. (209 Kg). The VR330 short block weighs
approximately 600 lbs. (272 kg).
Cover all engine openings until installation, to prevent foreign objects from entering the engine.
StAtIONARY INStALLAtIONS
Engine Foundations
Most stationary engine applications require a foundation
or mounting base. This base isolates the engine from the
surrounding structure and absorbs or inhibits vibrations.
A base provides a permanently accurate surface upon
which the engine (and usually the driven equipment) may
be mounted and aligned. To serve these purposes, the
foundation must have a suitable size and mass, rest on
an adequate soil or bearing surface, be provided with an
accurately finished mounting surface for the engine, and
be equipped with properly sized retaining bolts in the correct locations to secure the engine firmly in position.
Mounting
No engine will perform properly if incorrectly installed and
aligned.
Any misalignment of mountings imposes stresses on the

engine structure with possible damage to flywheel housing, flywheel, crankshaft and thrust bearings.
Because of the variety of power applications, the VR
Series engines will be found mounted in both mobile and
stationary applications. In all cases it is most important
that proper mountings be selected for the specific application. If the engine and driven equipment have separate
foundations, alignment is critical. To ensure proper alignment, inspect foundations for weld spatter, burrs, foreign
matter or uneven surfaces. It is plainly a waste of time
to attempt alignment if the foundation is not level and
clean.
Alignment
It is always desirable to have shims under both the engine
and driven equipment, so future alignment at time of
rebuilding or replacement will not present a problem.
The nature of any shimming procedure is essentially cut
and try. Use easily cut steel or brass shim stock to make
up trial shim pads. Remember the area of the shim pad
must be large enough to support the weight of the engine
when the bolts are tightened.
After the engine has been leveled and tightened down,

the driven equipment can be aligned. In the case where
the driven equipment is mounted permanently, the engine
will have to be aligned relative to the driven equipment.
When the engine and driven equipment are mounted on
a common skid base, shims should be used under both
units to compensate for roughness and unevenness of
the skid rails. The will also provide shims under drive
and driven units for final alignment. Usually the heaviest
machine is permanently mounted and the lightest aligned
to the heaviest.
The correct aligning procedure may vary slightly with different types of drive equipment. Many manufacturers of
driven equipment will specify the method to be used to
align their equipment. In general, the object is the same:
to make the driven shaft concentric with the driver shaft.
If at all possible, steel chocks should be used to fill larger

gaps so that only the last few thousandths of an inch need
to be filled out with thinner shim stock.
Always use shims that are wide enough to permit the full
base mounting area to bear on them.
The full width of the mounting base must be supported,
not just the outer edge.
161
Preparing the Unit For Service

Inspect all identification and data plates and comply with
all servicing instructions. Compare data plates with information contained in invoices or packing slips to ensure
receipt of equipment as ordered.
Inspect entire engine for damage, loose connections,
broken or sharply bent lines, and loose nuts or bolts. If
tape or temporary coverings are torn or missing from
engine openings (such as intake, exhaust, water or fuel),
a thorough inspection will be required to determine the
possible presence of foreign objects in these openings.
The steps needed to bring an engine into active service are

basically the same for a new engine or one that has been
in storage. In addition to a very detailed visual inspection, check for free rotation. Any accumulated dust and
dirt should be wiped or washed from the exterior before
removing engine opening covers. Engines that have not
been rotated for some time should be oiled through the
spark plug openings and cranked by hand before running.
Any resistance to free cranking should be investigated;
rust and corrosion can cause engine seizure that cannot
be cleared without engine disassembly.
CAUTION
Never attempt to start an engine that has been stored
without first inspecting the intake passages and manifolds
for thickened preservative oil.
Crank the engine over with the spark plugs out. Oil, water
or preservative compound trapped in the cylinders would
lead to a hydraulic lock. Continue to crank engine with
the starter until liquid is on longer ejected from the openings.
Fill the crankcase with the proper grade and viscosity of

oil to the full mark on the oil level dipstick.
If conditions permit, the cooling system should be filled
with soft water. After the cooling system has been checked
and any leaks have been repaired, drain a portion of the
water and add an inhibitor or antifreeze as required. Soluble oil may be used as an inhibitor. Use one ounce of
oil per gallon of coolant. Check battery connections for
proper polarity, Pour the acid into the dry batteries and
see that the battery plates are covered with solution.
Connect the batteries and control wires. When a dry

charge battery is used, the battery should be charged
prior to use.
162
COOLING SYStEM
Cooling System Design
Premature engine component failures and abnormal
engine performance can often be traced to improper
design or sizing of radiators or other coolers.
Arrow Engine Company will not be responsible for
engine or component failure when the following cooling system design and application recommendations
are not followed.
Recommendations for Specifying a Radiator or

Other Cooler for Continuous Duty Operation
1. Base the water flow and temperature drop across the
radiator core or cooler on the jacket water pump
curve.
2. Pressure drop through the radiator core or cooler with
full water flow at rated speed must not exceed 3 to
5 psi (.21 to .35 kg/cm2).
3. Allow a 15% reserve for variations in application and
environment conditions, i.e., wind direction, dirt and
debris. This 15% is in addition to normal cooling
system design fouling factors.
4. If a 50-50 solution of ethylene glycol could be used,
the radiator core or cooler area should be 15%
reduction in the heat transfer coefficient for ethylene
glycol when compared with water.
5. Select a radiator or cooler for the highest ambient or
raw water temperature condition expected. For
radiators, an allowance must be made for air
temperature rise across the engine with a blower fan,
or in the engine room if a suction fan is used.
6. Radiators and surge tanks must have 7 psi (49 kg/

cm2) pressure caps.
7. Provision must be made for desertion of the coolant,
such as a divided top tank or separate surge tank.
8. Provision must be made for a balance line connection
to the suction side of the water pump to prevent
pump cavitation.
9. An adequate coolant expansion area must be

provided in the radiator or in a separate surge tank.
COOLING CAPACItIES - ENGINES ONLY

(Does Not Include Radiator or Heat Exchangers)
10. Maximum back pressure into the radiator or cooler

should not exceed 5 psi (.35 kg/cm2) at 2000 rpm.

Installation Recommendations
Recommendations For Specifying A Radiator Or Other Cooler Design For Intermittent Or

Standby Operation
After the cooler installation is competed and prior to filling

the cooling system, clean all dirt and welding spatter from
low points in the system. Flush all accessible piping sections and the cooler to remove as must dirt as possible.
Same as for Continuous Duty Operation, except:

1. Use 200 F. (93.3 C.) instead of 185 F. (85 C.)
engine outlet temperature.
After filling the system, check closely for leaks. Tighten all
clamps and fittings prior to engine start-up to avoid coolant loss at start-up.
2. Allow a 5% instead of a 15% reserve for variations in

application and environmental conditions.
The following installation suggestions are offered to

improve cooling system performance and make future
maintenance easier and quicker:
Recommendation For Specifying A Radiator Or

Other Cooler Design For torque Converter
Application
1. Mount all cooling system components with at least

enough clearance to permit normal maintenance and
to allow for removal and replacement of accessories
at the front of the engine without having to disrupt
the cooling system.
When the engine cooler is also used for cooling a torque

converter, the core or cooler surface should be at least
30% larger than the core required for the engine alone.
2. Use suitable couplings so portions of the cooling

system can be disconnected and moved aside as
a unit during engine repair and maintenance. This
avoids removal of individual pieces of pipe and
the need to work backward to reach a given
connection.
For turbocharged engines please contact factory for

radiator and aftercooler data.
Cooling System Capacity

3. Provide convenient drainage points to remove
water from both fresh water and raw water systems.
To prevent rust when using water alone, either use a recommended corrosion preventive or inhibitor, or add one
ounce of soluble oil for every gallon of coolant in the
cooling system.
4. Provide easy to open accessible air vents to bleed

air from cooling system piping and allow for
immediate priming of the system.

without major disassembly or pump removal.
6. Keep the system clean!
7. Avoid electrolysis; use zinc anodes or other cathodes
for system protection.
163
Air Intake System

Huge quantities of air are required for all internal combustion engines. Exact combustion air requirements for VR
Series engines can be obtained from Arrow EngineCompany.
Certain factors must be considered to ensure an adequate
supply of clean combustion air. These are as follows:
1. Air requirements for engines installed in heated, air
conditioned buildings may upset heating and
ventilating calculations unless combustion air is
supplied via an external air inlet.
If exhaust back pressure is found to be excessive, check

for undersized piping, undersized or inefficient silencer or
muffler, or excessive bends or restrictions in the exhaust
line. Modify as necessary.
Exhaust pipes must be adequately sized and supported. A
condensate trap and drain must be provided at some low
point ahead of the engine exhaust manifold. The pressure restrictions caused by elbows and other pipe bends
prohibit their use in a well designed exhaust system.
Always use welded tube turns with a radius of four or five
diameters. Multiple exhaust connections to a common
header are not recommended, since this can result in
erratic operation and engine damage. Never connect the
exhaust system of more than one engine.
2. If an external air inlet is required, it must be suitably

designed to supply intake air in the proper
temperature range (high intake air temperature
results in power loss while extremely cold intake
air may hinder starting of automatic standby units).
It must also be designed to prevent pick-up of
exhaust gas materials or exhaust from other
industrial operations (such as foundry dust or paint
spray), to prevent pick-up of flammable vapors, and
to prevent entry of rain and water.
3. All ducting, as well as air cleaner to manifold

connections, must be airtight to avoid drawing in
unfiltered air.
4. The restriction through the air intake system must be
kept to a minimum. Air duct restriction must never
exceed two inches (50.8 mm) of water column.
Restricted inlets, sharp or numerous bends and
undersized ducting will all increase restriction
unnecessarily.
5. Engine heat radiation will affect ambient air

temperatures in building installations. Properly
located intake and exhaust fans may be required
to ventilate engine rooms.
Exhaust System
The huge quantities of combustion air consumed by the
engine must be efficiently removed after combustion
occurs. Therefore, every possible provision must be
made to minimize exhaust system back pressure.
The maximum allowable back pressure for a VR Series
engine is 20 inches (508 mm) of water column.
Some of the adverse effects of excessive back pressure
are loss of power, smoking, poor fuel economy, excessive
valve temperatures and engine coolant overheating.
164
It is advantageous in every installation to locate the

silencer as close to the engine as possible.
Attention must be given to adequate silencing of the
engine, since unnecessary noise is a public nuisance.
Objectionable noise is unnecessary today because of the
available mufflers which can be used for silencing.
Before using any vent passage or chimney in an existing structure not specifically designed for service as an
engine exhaust passage, it should be carefully checked
for compliance with all fire and building codes. Do not discharge engine exhaust into a brick, tile, or cement block
chimney, or structure of like material. The characteristics
of the exhaust pulsations could cause severe structural
damage.
Exhaust flow requirements for VR Series engines can be

obtained from you Arrow sales engineer.
Lubrication Oil System

Lubricating oil specification recommendations are contained in the Preventive Maintenance unit. The installation should include adequate provisions for draining lube
oil.
Angular Operating Limits

Angular operating limits must be adhered to for successful operation in any engine application. Users should be
cautioned when job requirements are such that the engine
might be tilted. Obviously, loss of oil pressure, even for
brief periods, can have destructive results. The maximum
angular operating limit for all VR220/330 engines is 25 in
any direction for intermittent periods only.

Gas pressure to this engine regulator must be 5-10 psi

(.35 - .70 kg/cm2). Low gas pressure will starve the
engine of fuel and reduce engine output. High pressures
could damage the regulator, allowing excessive fuel to
flood the cylinders. This could lead to detonation and
serious engine damage.It at possible, avoid fueling any
gas operated equipment off of the supply line between the
line regulator and the engine regulator. The supply pressure to the engine could be disrupted. If there is no way
to avoid such an installation, add a second line regulator
close to the engine and increase the pressure from the
first line regulator by 10 psi (.70 kg/cm2) to compensate
for the pressure loss.
Regulators must be spaced according to the inner diameter of the pipe used. For a general rule of thumb, the
maximum allowable distance between regulators is eight
times the pipe ID. [For example, with a 2 pipe, the maximum distance between the regulators is 16 (406.4 mm)].
Regulators must be mounted in an upright position.
The maximum pressure drop across a line regulator is

generally 50-75 psi (3.5-5.3 kg/cm2). Consult the regulator manufacturer for specific information.
Natural Gas Fuel System

Generally, natural gas is supplied by utility owned lines
that run to the installation site.
The major components in the natural gas fuel system are
the regulators, piping and the carburetor.
Pressure regulators are designed to control the pressure
of the gas as it enters the engine. Through an arrangement of a diaphragm and springs, the pressure of the natural gas coming to the engine is lowered and controlled.
This supplies a constant steady supply of gas to the carburetor.
There are two types of pressure regulators in the fuel
system: a high pressure line, or Big Joe, regulator
mounted near the main fuel line, and a low pressure
engine regulator.
The line regulator brings the pressure in the lines leading

to the engine regulator to 5-10 psi (.35 - .70 kg/cm2). The
engine regulator sets the gas pressure to the carburetor
at 5 + (127 + 13 mm) of water column (less than 1
psi). From he engine mounted regulator the gas flows into
the carburetor. Air is mixed with the gas, and it flows into
the engine to be burned.
165
Checking Flywheel And Housing Runout And

Crankshaft End Play
Even with the best maintenance, an engine can encounter trouble if such things as proper mounting, alignment
with other equipment, flywheel and housing runout and
sufficient crankshaft end play are disregarded in the initial
installation or in subsequent engine relocations. Although
flywheel and flywheel housing runout and crankshaft end
play are firmly established within limits at the factory, such
things as rough handling or improper installation of power
takeoffs or clutches may adversely affect these clearances. These items should always be checked prior to
engine start-up.
2. If the flywheel housing is out of alignment, loosen all

of the flywheel housing bolts and proceed as follows.
3. Use a small bar inserted in a bolt hole to correct
misalignment until the runout does not exceed .008
(.203 mm) total indicator reading. If the misalignment
cannot be corrected in this manner, the housing
may have to be redoweled.
4. Tighten bolts partially, working back and forth across

the housing. Recheck flywheel housing bore
concentricity with a dial indicator.
Relocate the dial indicator as shown to indicate the flywheel housing face.
A major factor in obtaining long service life from any

engine and clutch, or power take-off assembly, is the
proper alignment of the flywheel housing, flywheel and
pilot bearing bore. Distortion or lack of a common center
on either of these parts will set up destructive forces to
bearings, crankshaft, clutch, and the driven equipment.
In addition, because of normal manufacturing tolerances,

when an engine is installed in a mounting formerly occupied by another engine, it is not safe to assume that the
drive shaft of the power take-off will automatically line
up with a coupling located for the previous engine. In
such circumstances, either the engine mounts must be
shimmed or adjusted, or the driven mechanism must be
relocated and adjusted a few thousandths of an inch to
bring the entire drive line from crankshaft bearings to
driven shaft coupling into good alignment.
1. Housing face runout should not exceed .008

(.203 mm) total indicator reading. If correction is
required, it should be done with a cutting tool
mounted on a radial arm and firmly attached to the
flywheel. Thus, by rotating the crankshaft by means
of a suitable drive, the cutting tool will dress the
housing face into a plane in alignment with the
crankshaft flange.
2. When making the above inspection, it is very

important not to be misled by the end play of the
crankshaft. To prevent this, use a pry bar to
bring the shaft into full forward position at each point
where the indicator reading is taken.
Make the following check for flywheel housing bore concentricity:

1. Support a dial indicator as shown and check the
runout of the housing bore all the way around.
Mount a dial indicator on the flywheel housing as shown

and check the runout of the pilot bearing bore. Runout
should not exceed .005 (.127 mm) total indicator reading.
166
Remount the dial indicator as shown to measure the

runout of the flywheel face. Again, it is emphasized that
each reading must be taken with the crankshaft moved
all the way forward. Unless rough handling has somehow distorted the wheel or crankshaft flange, maximum
runout should not exceed .008 (.203 mm) total indicator
reading.
CAUTION
The importance of correct crankshaft end play cannot be
overstressed. Operation of an engine having insufficient
or excessive crankshaft end play can result in serious
damage. Insufficient clearance will prevent proper lubrication of the thrust surfaces, causing the main bearings to
overheat and lock on the shaft.
Measure crankshaft end play with a dial indicator mounted

on the crankcase. Use a small pinch bar to move the
crankshaft fully forward. Set the indicator at zero and use
the bar to thrust the shaft to fully rearward. Check the end
play reading on the dial indicator. End play must be within
.0045 - .0095 inches (0.1114 - 0.241 mm).

SUGGEStED SERVICE AND MAINtENANCE SCHEDULE

An easy, inexpensive way to reduce production costs on pumping wells is to properly maintain the pumping
engine. Periodic preventive maintenance will extend the life of the engines by two to three times, and substantially reduce repair costs.
