    WARNINGStarting any diesel engine can bedangerous in the hands of inexperiencedpeople. Engine operators must beinstructed in the correct procedures beforeattempting to start any engine.

    1.4.1 Before Starting Precautions Ensure the engine is free to turn

    without obstruction. Check that the lubricating oil level is

    correct.The oil sump must be filled to the fullor max mark on the dipstick; do notoverfill.

    Check that the fuel supply is adequateand the system is primed.

    Ensure that the battery is connected,fully charged and serviceable.

    Where possible, disengage the drivenequipment while starting.

    1.4.2 Alternator PrecautionsThe following points must be strictly

    observed when charge windings are fittedotherwise serious damage can be done. Never remove any electrical cable

    while the battery is connected in thecircuit.

    Only disconnect the battery with theengine stopped and all switches in theOFF position.

    Always ensure that cables are fittedto their correct terminals.A short circuit or reversal of polaritywill ruin diodes and transistors.

    Never connect a battery into thesystem without checking that thevoltage and polarity are correct.

    Never flash any connection to checkthe current flow.

    Never experiment with anyadjustments or repairs to the system.

    The battery and charge windings mustbe disconnected before commencingany electric welding when a pole strapis directly or indirectly connected to theengine.

    WARNINGStarting engines that are fitted with chargewindings which have been disconnected

    from the battery will cause irreparabledamage unless the stator leads from therectifier/regulator have been removed.

    1.4.3 Starter Battery Precautions Do not smoke near the batteries. Keep sparks and flames away from

    the batteries. Batteries contain sulphuric acid - if the

    acid has been splashed on the skin,eyes or clothes flush it away withcopious amounts of fresh water andseek medical aid.

    Keep the top of the battery wellventilated during charging.

    Disconnect the battery negative(earth) lead first and reconnect last.

    Switch off the battery charger beforedisconnecting the charger leads.

    Never 'flash' connections to checkcurrent flow.

    Never experiment with adjustments orrepairs to the system.

    A damaged or unserviceable batterymust never be used.

    6 OIL AND FUEL SPECIFICATIONS6.1 Oil Specification

    To help assist engine running-in, allengines are despatched with an initial filllubricating oil which must be changed after100 hours.

    All subsequent oil changes must be asspecified in "7.11 Maintenance Schedule".

    CAUTIONSome of the following classifications maynot be available in your country. In casesof difficulty, it is suggested contact bemade with a reputable oil supplier or anyLister-Petter Distributor.

    Note:Also refer to '"6.2 Engine Oil ClassificationSystem"'.

    1. The temperatures mentioned in thetables are the ambient temperatures atthe time when the engine is started.However, if monograde oils are usedand running ambient temperatures aresignificantly higher than startingtemperatures, a higher viscosity oilshould be selected subject tosatisfactory starting performance.Multigrade oils may be used toovercome the problem.

    2. Where it is not practical to continuallychange oils to suit varying ambient

    temperatures, a suitable multigrade oilis recommended to ensure adequatestarting performance at the lowesttemperature likely to be encountered.

    3. T Series engines must be run on heavyduty lubricating oils that at least meetthe requirements of one of the following:

    API CC MIL-L-46152BDEF2101D MIL-L-2104B

    Straight mineral oils are not suitable,neither are oils of less detergency thanspecified.

    Note:Higher specification oils meeting API CD,API CE and API CF-4 are morecommonly available than API CC. Theuse of these oils in new engines isacceptable for topping up the 'first fill' andfollowing the first 100 hours whenrunning-in has been completed.These oils are particularly suited toengines running at a high load factor, orin conjunction with high ambienttemperatures. They must also be usedwhere the sulphur content of the fuelexceeds 0.5%.

    CAUTIONAPI CD, API CE, API CF-4 or MIL-L-2104C/D/E oils can inhibit the running-in process in new or reconditionedengines and are not suitable for enginesrunning on low duty cycles.

    4. The oil must be suitable for 250 houroil changes without unduedegradation, with sump temperaturesreaching 150C (302F) under severetropical conditions, and 120C (248F)under normal conditions.

    5. For engines in long runninginstallations Lister-Petter should beconsulted.

    CAUTIONSome of the following classifications maynot be available in your country. In casesof difficulty, it is suggested contact bemade with a reputable oil supplier or anyLister-Petter Distributor.

    Note:US 'S' grade oils are for gasolene enginesand are not recommended for Lister-Petterdiesel engines.

    Past and current US API grade oils aredescribed below.

    API Service Category CA:Service typical of diesel engines

    operated in mild to moderate duty withhigh-quality fuels; occasionally hasincluded gasoline engines in mild service.

    Oils designed for this service provideprotection from bearing corrosion and ring-belt deposits in some naturally aspirateddiesel engines when using fuels of suchquality that they impose no unusual

    requirements for wear and depositprotection.

    They were widely used in the 1940sand 1950s but should not be used in anyengine unless specifically recommendedby the equipment manufacturer.

    API Service Category CB:Service typical of diesel engines

    operated in mild to moderate duty, but withlower quality fuels, which necessitate moreprotection from wear and deposits;occasionally has included gasolineengines in mild service.

    Oils designed for this service wereintroduced in 1949. They providenecessary protection from bearingcorrosion and from high-temperaturedeposits in naturally aspirated dieselengines with higher sulphur fuels.

    API Service Category CC:Service typical of certain naturally

    aspirated diesel engines operated inmoderate to severe-duty service, andcertain heavy-duty gasoline engines.

    Oils designed for this service provideprotection from high-temperature depositsand bearing corrosion in diesel engines,and also from rust, corrosion, and low-temperature deposits in gasoline engines.These oils were introduced in 1961.

    API Service Category CD:Service typical of certain naturally

    aspirated, turbocharged or superchargeddiesel engines where highly effectivecontrol of wear and deposits is vital, orwhen using fuels with a wide quality range(including high-sulphur fuels).

    Oils designed for this service wereintroduced in 1955 and provide protectionfrom high-temperature deposits andbearing corrosion in these diesel engines.

    API Service Category CD-11:Severe duty two-stroke

    Service typical of two-stroke cyclediesel engines requiring highly effectivecontrol of wear and deposits.

    Oils designed for this service also meetall performance requirements of APIService Category CD.

    API Service Category CE - 1983:Service typical of certain turbocharged

    or supercharged heavy-duty dieselengines, manufactured since 1983 andoperated under both low speed, high loadand high speed, high load conditions.

    Oils designated for this service mayalso be used when API Service CategoryCD is recommended for diesel engines.

  • Lister-Petter TS, TR and TX Operators Handbook6.4

    6 OIL AND FUEL SPECIFICATIONSAPI Service Category CF-4 -1990:

    Service typical of high-speed, four-stroke cycle diesel engines.

    API CF-4 oils exceed the requirementsfor the API CE category, providingimproved control of oil consumption andpiston deposits.

    These oils should be used in place ofAPI CE oils. They are particularly suited foron-highway, heavy-duty truck applications.When combined with the appropriate 'S'category, they can also be used in gasolineand diesel powered personal vehicles - i.e.,passenger cars, light trucks, and vans -when recommended by the vehicle orengine manufacturer.

    API Service Category CF:Indirect injection

    Service typical of indirect-injecteddiesel engines and other diesel enginesthat use a broad range of fuel types,including those using fuel with high sulphurcontent; for example, over 0.5% weight.

    Effective control of piston deposits,wear and copper-containing bearingcorrosion is essential for these engines,which may be naturally aspirated,turbocharged or supercharged.

    Oils designated for this service havebeen in existence since 1994 and may beused when API Service Category CD isrecommended.

    API Service Category CF-2:Severe duty, two-stroke cycle

    Service typical of two-stroke cycle dieselengines requiring highly effective control overcylinder and ring-face scuffing and deposits.

    Oils designed for this service have beenin existence since 1994 and may also beused when API Engine Service CategoryCD-11 is recommended.

    These oils do not necessarily meet therequirements of API CF or CF-4 unless theypass the test requirements for thesecategories.

    API Service Category CG-4 - 1994:Severe duty

    API Service Category CG-4 describesoils for use in high-speed fourstroke-cyclediesel engines used in both heavy-duty on-highway (0.05% weight sulphur fuel) andoff-highway (less than 0.5% weight sulphurfuel) applications.

    CG-4 oils provide effective control overhigh-temperature piston deposits, wear,corrosion, foaming, oxidation stability, andsoot accumulation.

    These oils are especially effective inengines designed to meet 1994 exhaustemission standards and may also be usedin engines requiring API Service CategoriesCD, CE, and CF-4. Oils designed for thisservice have been in existence since 1994.

    The following chart shows the correctoil viscosities at various C ambienttemperature ranges for cold start tomaximum running.

    Before selecting a viscosity grade referto Notes:

    Notes:A Intermittent running.B. Synthetic oils only.F = (1.8 x C) + 32.1. SAE 5W-20 oils are recommended on

    the basis that they are fully synthetic,and are technically suitable for use upto 25C (77F). Non synthetic oils atvery low temperatures will suffer fromwax crystallisation.Monograde SAE 5W is not normallyavailable as a synthetic oil and therefore

    is not quoted.2. In order to maintain the cold starting

    characteristics of any recommendedgrade, it is essential that oil changesare made within the Lister-Petterrecommendations.An oil change is recommendedimmediately if the engine fails to reachits normal cold start cranking speed dueto excessive oil viscosity.Fuel dilution of the lubricating oil willadversely affect cold starting and oilconsumption.

    3. SAE 30 and 10W-30 oils may be usedat up to 52C (126F) but oilconsumption may be affected.10W-40, 15W-40 and 20W-40multigrades are recommended forcontinuous full load operation at thistemperature.

    4. Monograde SAE 40 oils are notrecommended.

    CAUTIONThe fuel injection equipment ismanufactured to very accurate limits andthe smallest particle of dirt will destroy itsefficiency.Fuel, free from water and contaminants isof the utmost importance.

  • Lister-Petter TS, TR and TX Operators Handbook6.6

    6 OIL AND FUEL SPECIFICATIONS6.4 Fuel Specification

    The engine must only be used withdiesel fuel oil which conforms to one ofthe following:-a. BS 2869:1988 Class A2.b. BS EN590:1995 Class A1.c. USA Specification ASTM D-975-77

    Grades No.1-D and 2-D.d. BSMA 100 Class M1 for marine use.

    The fuel must be a distillate, and not aresidual oil or blend. Vaporising oils arenot suitable as fuels for these dieselengines.

    The user is cautioned that although theengines may operate on fuels outside theabove specifications, such operation maywell result in excessive wear and damage.

    CAUTIONThe fuel injection equipment ismanufactured to very accurate limits andthe smallest particle of dirt will destroy itsefficiency.Fuel, free from water and contaminants isof the utmost importance.

    6.5 Low Temperature FuelsSpecial winter fuels are often available

    for use at ambient temperatures below 0C(32F).

    These fuels have a lower viscosity andlimit the formation of wax at low ambienttemperatures.

    CAUTIONWax formation can rapidly reduce the flowof fuel through the fuel filter element.

    7 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE - ENGINE7.1 Preliminary Instructions

    These recommendations andinstructions cover several engine models,therefore, they are of a general nature.

    The engines are assembled to pre-determined builds and individual enginesmay include optional equipment notspecifically covered in this book.

    More detailed information can be foundin the Workshop Manual, 027-08221, orany Lister-Petter Distributor or Dealer maybe consulted.

    The handbook is designed primarily foruse by qualified technicians withmechanical experience.

    This work can only be carried out if thenecessary hand and service tools areavailable. When the user has insufficienttools, experience or ability to carry outadjustments, maintenance and repairs thiswork should not be attempted.

    Where accurate measurements ortorque values are required they can onlybe made using calibrated instruments.

    Under no circumstances shouldmakeshift tools, or equipment, be used astheir use may adversely affect safe workingprocedures and engine operation. The engine should receive regular

    attention during the first 50 hours ofits life from new and after a majoroverhaul.

    Long periods of light or no loadrunning early in the engines life maylead to cylinder bore glazing and highoil consumption.

    The instructions given in "7.11Maintenance Schedule" are based onaverage operating conditions andcover the minimum requirements tokeep an engine running at peakperformance with trouble freeoperation.

    Under very dusty conditions, aircleaners, lubricating oil and fuel filterswill require more frequent attention.

    Decarbonising may be required moreoften if the engine has been runningon light loads for long periods.

    Before carrying out any maintenancework on an engine it is advisable toremove the battery.The battery and charge windings mustbe disconnected before commencingany electric welding when a pole strapis directly, or indirectly connected to theengine.

    It is essential to ensure that nuts andbolts are tightened to the torquesspecified in the Workshop Manual,027-08221.

    The fuel injector can only be checkedand set off the engine using suitablespecialist test equipment.

    A Hurth or Newage gearbox may befitted to the engine and the gearboxmanufacturers publication should beconsulted for information on operatingand routine maintenance procedures.Basic information for these gearboxescan be found in Sections 4 and 5.

    WARNINGON NO ACCOUNT ALLOW ANYUNPROTECTED SKIN TO COME INTOCONTACT WITH THE INJECTOR SPRAYAS THE FUEL MAY ENTER THE BLOODSTREAM WITH FATAL RESULTS.

    WARNINGSOME ENGINES MAY BE FITTED WITHSEALS OR O RINGS MANUFACTUREDFROM VITON OR A SIMILAR MATERIAL.WHEN EXPOSED TO ABNORMALLYHIGH TEMPERATURES, IN EXCESS OF400C (752F), AN EXTREMELYCORROSIVE ACID IS PRODUCEDWHICH CANNOT BE REMOVED FROMTHE SKIN.IF SIGNS OF DECOMPOSITION AREEVIDENT, OR IF IN DOUBT, ALWAYSWEAR DISPOSABLE HEAVY DUTYGLOVES.

    ROUTINE MAINTENANCE - ENGINE 77.2 Precautions for Filters and

    Elements Particular attention is drawn to the

    instructions given later in this sectionfor replacing filters.

    Used liquid filters and elementscontain some of the filtered liquid andshould be handled and disposed ofwith care.

    After handling new or used elements,the users hands should be thoroughlywashed, particularly before eating.

    WARNINGFuel and new or used lubricating oil maycause skin irritation.

    WARNINGThe materials used in the manufacture andtreatment of some filters and elements maycause irritation or discomfort if they comeinto contact with the eyes or mouth and theymay give off toxic gases if they are burnt.

    WARNINGCare must be taken to ensure that wastefuel, oil, filter elements and acid, whereapplicable, are disposed of in accordancewith local regulations to preventcontamination.

    7.3 Initial AttentionTo help assist engine running-in, all

    engines are despatched with an initial filllubricating oil which must be changedafter 100 hours.

    It is recommended that the followingreceive attention after the engine has run25 hours and again after 250 hours. Adjust the valve clearances if

    necessary. Check and tighten nuts, bolts and

    unions paying particular attention tothe fuel system.

    Check the lubricating oil level and topup if necessary.

    Observe the exhaust at the normal fullload. The exhaust must be free fromsoot. A black exhaust means that theengine is overloaded or that theinjection equipment is out of order.Do not allow the engine to run with adirty exhaust without investigating thecause as this may result in an enginebreakdown.

    Following the initial attention, thenormal routine maintenance must becarried out as given in "7.11Maintenance Schedule".
