Main lubricating oil system thermal hazard during operation or just after
the engine has been stopped most of the engine will be hot touching the engine
parts may cause burns in this system be especially aware of the following parts
lubricating oil pipes may get up to 70 degrees Celsius lubricating oil hazards
there will always be a certain health risk
concerning handling of lubricating oil inhaling fumes over prolonged time or
swallowing will lead to intoxication lubricating oil in eyes or on sensitive
skin will be irritating for specific hazards and countermeasures applying to
lubricating oil always read the producers information on the containers
and data sheets
the oil level in a running engine should always be between the maximum and
minimum levels on the dipstick try to keep the oil level as close to maximum
as possible the level in the oil sump should be measured manually every day in
addition to the electronic measurements of temperatures and pressures in the
lubricating oil system all thermometers and manometers should be checked and
recorded manually once a day it is recommended that samples of the
lubricating oil are regularly sent to the oil manufacturer for analysis from
the information gained from these samples it will be possible to determine
suitable intervals between oil changes the intervals between oil analysis
therefore should be decided after consulting the oil manufacturer when
taking oil samples it should be taken into consideration that the lubricating
oil from the engine is hot
click the components for further information the lube oil filter is of a
duplex type normally both filters are operating click the photo or the red
text to locate the components listed below
during maintenance or in case of malfunction one filter may be shut off
by using the cock this position will bypass the left filter this position
will bypass the right filter both filters are operating
if high viscosity the pressure drop across the filter increases the vowels
inside the filter will open and some oil will flow directly through the strainer
if this is not sufficient the valve will open and send part of the oil unfiltered
through the filter unit place the correct filter elements aside the unit
before starting to dismantle clean and dry all parts thoroughly mount new
filter elements place the text in the correct sequence wrong you have no more
tries we will show you the answer fill up the new filter slowly before
switching between them the filter should be inspected at least once every six
months even if the alarm is not triggered
