Maintenance schedule

04. Maintenance schedule

The actual operating conditions, and the quality of the fuel, lubricating oil and water used,
largely determine the maintenance necessity for the engine. Because of the difficulty in
anticipating the various operating conditions that may be encountered in the field, the
periods stated in the schedule are for guidance only. However, do not exceed them during
the warranty period.
If there are any indications that the maintenance procedure is required in advance of the
recommended time period, perform the suggested maintenance. Additionally, if inspection or
observation reveals that a part shows wear or use beyond the prescribed tolerances, renew
the part immediately.
Local legislation and requirements as well as classification requirements should also be
taken into consideration.
For maintenance instructions, see the references given in the schedule. Also see
the turbocharger instructions and other equipment manufacturer's instructions or contact
Wärtsilä.

NOTE
Before performing any maintenance work, carefully read the sections Risk
reduction, Welding precautions and Hazardous substances in Chapter 00
Contents, instructions, terminology.
● Before starting any procedure, carefully read the corresponding instructions in this
manual.
● Disconnect all the concerned circulation pumps, for example, for prelubricating oil,
lubricating oil, cooling water and fuel.
● During all maintenance work, observe the utmost cleanliness and order.
● Before dismantling, check that all systems concerned have been drained or the pressure
has been released. After dismantling, immediately cover the holes for lubricating oil, fuel
oil, gas and air with tape, plugs, clean cloth or the like.
● When replacing a worn out or damaged part with a new one, note down the markings of
the old part and enter them along with the markings of the new part into the engine log
and maintenance report. Note down the reason for the exchange.
● Always renew all gaskets, sealing rings and O-rings during maintenance work.

NOTE
Do not lubricate the O-rings in the cooling water system with oil-based lubricants.
Use silicon lubricant grease or similar.

● After reassembling, check that all screws and nuts have been tightened and, if
necessary, locked.
● When supervising engine operation or doing maintenance, record all relevant data in the
measurement records (WV98V091). This helps to evaluate the engine condition and
follow up changes over time.

WARNING
When overhauling the engine, make absolutely sure that any automatic start and
the priming pump are disconnected. Also, make sure that the starting air shut-off
valve located before the main starting valve is closed. Then drain the engine
starting air system from the air bottle draining valve to avoid engine damage or
personal injury.

WARNING
When overhauling the engine, to avoid accidental turning of the crankshaft, make
absolutely sure that the generator breaker is secured and the gearbox is not
engaged. Accidental turning of the crankshaft may cause engine damage or
personal injury.

WARNING - ELECTRICITY
If a 110 V injector power supply is fitted, disconnect it before dismantling any of
the cylinder head covers.

04.1 Average load and fuel quality

WS-W32-MAN-04-HOWTOSELECTAPPLICATIONANDFUELQUALI v6

The length of some maintenance intervals depends on the average operating load and the
characteristics of the used fuel.

Average operating load and fuel type

Average operating load Below 75% of nominal engine output
Above 75% of nominal engine output
Fuel type HFO 1 = heavy fuel oil, normal quality
HFO 2 = heavy fuel oil, below normal quality
LBF = liquid biofuel
DO/LFO = diesel oil or light fuel oil
CRO = crude oil
NG = natural gas

The fuel types are defined in Chapter 02.
