GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
 Ensure that the engine is securely mounted.
 Ensure that the ventilation and combustion air ducts are not obstructed.
 Keep the engine and surrounding areas clean.
 Never allow any part of the body to come into contact with high pressure fuel oil when testing
injection equipment.
 Avoid contact with exhaust pipe when the engine is, or has recently been running.
These parts can be very hot and can cause severe burns.
 Rectify all fuel, water and oil leaks as soon as possible.
 Isolate the battery when working on the engine.
 All drive belts must receive regular attention.
 Keep electrical contacts free from corrosion etc. by smearing them with petroleum jelly.
 Batteries under charge release explosive gases, therefore the battery compartment must
be well ventilated at all times. Never allow any smoking, sparks or flames near the batteries.
 Wear protective goggles when handling liquids which are harmful to the eyes, for ex. battery
acid. If any of these substances are splashed in the eyes, wash out thoroughly with clean
water.
 Many liquids used in engines are harmful if taken internally.
 In the event of accidentally swallowing oil, fuel, anti-freeze or battery acid, obtain medical
assistance immediately.

STARTING PRECAUTIONS
Starting any engine can be dangerous in the hands of inexperienced people. Before attempting to
start any engine, the operator should be fully conversant with starting procedure and controls.
 Ensure that the batteries are in serviceable condition and correctly connected.
 Check that the oil levels in the engine and the gearbox are correct.
 Check that the fuel tank is full and that the system is primed.
 Check that all water drain plugs and cocks are closed.
 Check that water inlet valves, if fitted, are opened.
 Check that the water level in the header tank is filled up with mixture of water/anti-freeze
(40%). Under no circumstances must the engine be started without liquid in the cooling
system.
 Ensure that the gearbox is in neutral.
CHECKS BEFORE STARTING
 Oil level in engine and gearbox.

 Coolant level in header tank.
 Battery main switch is ON. The charge control and oil pressure lights will now be on and the
buzzer will sound.

STARTING
1. Before attempting to start the engine, the operator should be familiar with the safety
precautions as described earlier.
2. Move the speed/gearbox lever into max. speed position by means of

the control lever, with gearbox disengaged.
3. Dependent on temperature, turn the starter switch into the preheat

position (position 1) and
hold it for 10-20 seconds. Then turn the switch further into position 2 to
energize the starter. Release immediately the engine starts, and it will
return to position 0. The alarm light as well as the charging light should
now be off.
4. If the engine should fail to start, due to poor battery condition, Std. Instrumentpanel
turn the battery switch to the
second start battery and repeat the starting procedure. If the engine fails to start within 15
seconds, despite good battery condition, release the switch and investigate the cause (see
FAULT FINDING). The starter motor should be allowed to cool for at least 15 seconds before
attempting to restart.

The temperatures mentioned in the table are the ambient temperatures at the time when the engine
is started.
However, if the running temperatures are much higher than the starting temperatures, there should be used
a higher viscosity oil in order to have a good run on the engine. Multigrade oils prevent this problem, as
long as they have a suitable specification.
The engines must be run on heavy duty lubricating oils, meeting the requirements of API CC,
DEF2101D, MIL-L-2104B or MIL-L-46152A/B. Straight mineral oils are not suitable, neither are oils
of less detergency than specified.
API CD, Series 3, or MIL-L-2104C/D oils can inhibit the running-in process in new or reconditioned
engine is recommended for engines running at high load factor, such as the L4T, particularly in con-
junction with high ambient temperatures.

CHECK OF LUBRICATION OIL LEVEL
The lubrication oil level should always be checked before starting.

The level should never be allowed to fall below lower mark.
Note that the marks indicate correct level when the engine has 23pprox.. horizontal position.
The marks should be corrected according to installation angle.
Regarding “Free Fall Lifeboats”, see separate poster on free fall lifeboats.
LUBRICATION OIL CHANGE
The oil change should be done when the engine is warm.

Remove the oil filler cap, see Fig. 1, position 15, and pump up the oil by means of the sump oil drain
pump.
Remove the crankcase ventilation hose and undo the filler plug (which also contains the capsize
valve) on the top of the valve cover. Use a spanner on the square headed valve nipple. See Fig. 2,
position 15.
Fill up new oil through oil filler cap in valve cover.
If the filler hole, position 15, is accessible, the filling may be done there.
Run the engine after oil and filter change and check for any leaks from oil filter.
Stop the engine, allow the oil to settle and top up if necessary.
CHANGE OF OIL FILTER ELEMENT
Use a suitable strap wrench, unscrew and remove filter canister. Thoroughly clean the crankcase oil
filter housing face. Apply a thin film of clean oil to the oil filter sealing gasket. Screw on the new oil
filter canister until the sealing gasket abuts the filter head and tighten a further half turn.
GEARBOX OIL CHECK AND CHANGE
Unscrew the dipstick 23, see Fig.2, from the gearbox. Check the oil level by reinserting through hole.
Fill up if the oil level is below the mark.
Drain the oil through bottom drain plug or through the dipstick hole with a drain pump.
Refill new ATF oil to correct level.
CHANGING FUEL OIL FILTER
If the fuel oil tank is installed at a level above the engine, the cock must be closed before fuel filter
change.
The filter is shown on Fig. 2, position 22.
Unscrew the filter container and discard the filter element.
Ensure that the rubber gaskets and the spring are correctly
fitted before the filter container is reinstalled after filter change.
Prime the fuel system after filter change, see following chapter.
WATER SEPARATOR
A water separator/fuel filter is mounted between the fuel lift pump and the engine.
Drain the separator by loosening the bottom tap. Fig 9.1
www.frydenbosabb.no
24
CHANGING THE CARTRIDGE AGGLOMERATOR
Water is drained from the agglomerator by unscrewing the drain tap (C) Fig 9.1 sufficiently to
allow the water to drain.
1. Using a suitable strap wrench unscrew the cartridge (A) from the head (B). Fig 9.1
2. Screw a new cartridge onto the head and hand tighten it.
3. Fill the fuel tank and prime the system.
4. Run the engine and check to see that no fuel is leaking from the agglomerator.
Fig
9.1
PRIMING THE FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel system has to be primed before initial starting, after fuel filter change, if the fuel system
has been disconnected, or if the engine has run out of fuel and stops.
Start the priming at the water separator.
1. Ensure there is sufficient fuel.

2. Release the bleed screws (A) Fig 9.2on the filter and retighten when no further air
bubbles are expelled.
3. On variable speed engines, move the speed control to the fast position.
4. Move the engine stop/run control from the stop, to the run position.
5. Operate the fuel lift pump by hand.
6. The fuel return line from the fuel oil filter is connected to the nozzle leak off lines and is
led back to the fuel tank. Continue pumping for 5-6 strokes to prime the fuel injection
pump supply.
Fig
9.2
NOTE. It is of the greatest importance for trouble-free performance that no air has access to the
fuel system. Make therefore sure that all connections, particularly on the suction side, are properly
tightened.

25
COOLANT LEVEL CHECK
The engine should be allowed to cool down for some time before coolant level check.
Be careful when removing the coolant filler cap when the engine is warm.
Use a rag to protect against scalding.
If necessary, fill up with clean fresh water/anti freeze mixture. If the engine has extra header tank, the
coolant level is always checked in the upper tank.
TO DRAIN THE COOLANT
Remove the filler cap on header tank.

Drain the coolant through tap or plug hole in front of the crankcase, see Fig.10.
Close the tap securely after draining.
Refill the system with correct water/anti freeze mixture.
Let the engine idle for 20-30 minutes with the filler cap off and top up.
CHECK OR REPLACE THERMOSTAT
The Thermostat Housing is shown on Fig. 1, position 19.
Loosen the rubber bend between the thermostat housing and the water cooled exhaust manifold (or
header tank on L4.139 LB)
Unscrew the thermostat housing bolts and remove the housing with thermostat.
www.frydenbosabb.no
26
To check the thermostat function, put it into hot water. The thermostat is set to open at 74°C.
It should close again when put into cold water. If the thermostat is defect, it must be replaced.
The gasket should also be replaced before assembling the thermostat housing.
Ensure that all hose clamps are properly fixed and drain tap closed, before refilling with water/anti-
freeze mixture.
IDLING SPEED ADJUSTMENT
Start the engine and run until normal operating temperature is reached.
Correct idling speed is 950-1000 RPM and is factory set before dispatch. Adjustment should only be
carried out after consulting FRYDENBØ SABB MOTOR AS.
The idling speed is adjusted with the adjusting screw "A". see Fig. 11.
Fig 11
VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
The engine is fitted with hydraulic tappets and therefore no adjustment is necessary or possible.
NOTE.
If the cylinder head and the valve gear for any reason have been removed, the assembling sequence
must be according to the Service Manual which may be obtained from the factory.
ALTERNATOR BELT TENSION
It is important that the belt tension is checked after an overhaul or when new belt is fitted.
New belt tension:

A force of 3-3,5 kg to deflect belt 3,5 mm
Checking and adjustment at service intervals:

A force of 2,2-2,4 kg to deflect belt 3,5 mm
www.frydenbosabb.no
27
CHECK AND CHANGE OF ENGINE HEATER
The engine heater is shown on Fig.12.2 (4-cyl. engine).
If the heater is being continuously used, the heater element is subject to burning and should be
checked yearly or if the heating does not work.
 Drain the coolant through the drain plug.

 Disconnect the leads and dismantle the heater.
 If the element is badly burnt or corroded, replace it by a new one.
 Mount new one, apply Loctite 638 on surface which fit into hole in engine block.
 If the new heater element does not work, check the thermostat Fig 12.3 and replace if
defective. See wiring diagram below, Fig. 12.1
NOTE: The engine heater should not be tested in open air as it will be overheated and damaged.
Fig 12.1
Fig 12.2 Fig 12.3

28
CHECK OF BATTERY
The condition of the battery should be checked every third month. The specific gravity of a fully
charged battery depends on the ambient temperature.
The table below indicates the relationship between the specific gravity and the temperature.
Temperature Spec. Gravity Temperature Spec. Gravity

0° C 1.287 -10° C 1,259
10° " 1,280 -20° " 1,248
20° " 1,273 -30° " 1,241
25° " 1,270
30° " 1,267
35° " 1,263
The specific gravity of the electrolyte increases/decreases by 0,0007 every 1 degree above/below
25°C.
The electrolyte level should be 6-9 mm above the separators.

Top up with distilled water if necessary.
NOTE: In cold weather distilled water should be added only before charging the battery.
Keep the battery terminals clean and coat with petroleum jelly.
If the battery is of the maintenance free type without filler plugs, the condition may be checked by
means of an accurate digital voltmeter.
The battery should be allowed to stabilize for 6-8 hours with the leads disconnected before
measuring the voltage.
The average specific gravity can be calculated according to following formula:
MEASURED VOLTAGE
SPECIFIC GRAVITY = NUMBER OF CELLS - 0,84
Example:
Measured voltage: 12.65 V
Number of cells : 6
12,65
Specific gravity = 6 -0,84 = 1,27
CAUTION
The electrolyte is sulphuric acid and should be handled with great care. Always wear goggles when
servicing the battery.
If battery acid accidentally is splashed in the eyes, wash with clean water and obtain qualified
medical assistance immediately.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS REGARDING ELECTRIC SYSTEM
The following points must be strictly observed when working on the electric system, otherwise
serious damage can occur.
 Never remove any electrical cable without first disconnecting the batteries.
 Never disconnect the alternator cables while the engine is running.
 Only disconnect the batteries with engine stopped and all switches in the OFF position.
 Always check that cables are connected to their correct terminals before reconnecting the
batteries. A reversal of polarity or short circuit will destroy diodes and transistors in the
alternator and regulator.
 Never flash any connections to check the current flow.
 Always keep the electrical connections properly tightened.

a. Automatic fuse is out. Press the fuse button.

b. Stop solenoid linkage is loose.
c. Defect stop solenoid.
DESCRIPTION OF THE ELECTRICAL OPERATED STOP/START SYSTEM
The lever "A" has two functions:
1. To stop the engine. The engine is stopped when the lever "A" is moved fully anticlockwise
until it is against the stop screw "C".
2. The lever is reset to start position (excess fuel) when it is moved fully clockwise until it is
against the screw "B".
The electrical stop solenoid takes care of those two functions. When pressing the stop button on the
instrument table, the stop solenoid is energized, and the lever "A" is pulled to its stop position.
As soon as the stop button is released, the return spring inside the rubber boot moves the lever back
to its start position.
www.frydenbosabb.no
31
STOP SOLENOID DESCRIPTION
The stop solenoid has two coils, one for pull and one for hold. When the stop button is pressed, both
the pull and hold coil are energised and the plunger retracts. As soon as it "BOTTOMS", the internal
switch disconnects the high current winding, and the plunger is kept retracted by the hold coil.
The stop solenoid is secured by an automatic fuse (circuit breaker), located in the relay box.
If the stop function fails, the reason is likely a blown fuse. It should be reset by pressing the upper
fuse button.
IMPORTANT
If the stop solenoid for any reason has been dismantled, it should be refitted in following way:
 Move the lever "A" by hand until it rests against the screw "C". Press the stop solenoid
plunger fully until it "BOTTOMS". Secure the screw "D" in this position.
 Check the function by pressing the stop button. It is very important that the stop solenoid
plunger is completely home, otherwise the pull coil fails to be un-switched, and the fuse may
blow.
 If the stop solenoid fails to work, although the fuse is reset, the reason may be loose or defect
wire connections or a faulty internal switch in stop solenoid.
 Check the connections. If the connections are in good order, the internal switch may be
sticking or corroded.
 It may be a good remedy to remove the stop solenoid plunger and spray some contact
cleaner (f.inst. crc 2-26) against the bottom. The nylon switch pin should be loose in its bore.
 If the stop solenoid still does not work, try to interconnect the + terminal and the aux. terminal
by means of a piece of wire. See fig. 14. When doing so, the pull coil is always energized as
long as the stop button is pressed. If the stop button is pressed for more than 4 seconds, the
fuse may blow, but usually 4 seconds should be adequate to stop the engine.
 If the fuse blows, the stop solenoid should be allowed to cool down for some time
before resetting the fuse.
 If everything fails, the engine is stopped manually by moving the lever "A" fully anticlockwise
until the engine stops, and so fully clockwise again to reset in start position.
 A new stop solenoid should be ordered for replacement.
