Introduction
Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to give information, operating, maintenance and repair procedures for the 'Alpha' series of industrial, marine and gas fuelled engines. The manual is designed primarily for use by qualified technicians with electrical and mechanical experience. This work can only be carried out if the necessary hand and service tools are available. When the user has insufficient tools, experience or ability to carry out adjustments, maintenance and repairs then this work should not be attempted. Where accurate measurements, or torque values, are required they can only be made using calibrated instruments. Under no circumstances should makeshift tools or equipment be used, as their use may adversely affect safe working procedures and engine operation. The specification details given apply to a range of engines and not to any one particular engine. In cases of difficulty the user should consult the local Lister Petter Distributor or Dealer for further advice and technical assistance. The information, specifications, illustrations, instructions and statements contained within this publication are given with our best intentions and are believed to be correct at the time of going to press. Our policy is one of continued development and we reserve the right to amend any technical information with or without prior notice. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the particulars contained within this publication, neither the Manufacturer, Distributor or Dealer shall in any circumstances be held liable for any inaccuracy or the consequences thereof. The information given is subject to the Companys current Conditions of Tender and Sale, is for the assistance of users and is based upon results obtained from tests carried out at the place of manufacture. This Company does not guarantee that the same results will be obtained elsewhere under different conditions. Parts that have not been approved by the Lister Petter organisation cannot be relied upon for correct material, dimensions or finish. This Company cannot therefore, be responsible for any damage arising from the use of such parts and the guarantee will be invalidated. When purchasing parts or giving instructions for repairs users should, in their own interests, always specify Genuine Lister Petter Parts and quote the Description of the Part and the Engine Serial Number.

WARNING
Maintenance must be performed by qualified persons who are conversant with the hazards of fuels, electricity and machinery. Before commencing any work on the engine read the "Safety Precautions and Safe Working Practices" at the front of this manual.
Because of the various engine configurations, and installations in which the engine can be fitted, it is not possible to give detailed instruction for each one. Tightening torques are included in the text as necessary and in table format in "07.5 Spanner Torques". Sealing compounds and mating face instructions are given in "Section 07.4". When assembling the engine, use the same type of lubricating oil as used in the engine to spray all moving parts during assembly. All bearings and bushes must be well lubricated during assembly. Renew all joints, gaskets, connecting rod nuts and bolts and the cylinder head bolts.
WARNING
Do not attempt to remove the fuel injection pumps without referring to the relevant instructions.
WARNING
These engines are fitted with hydraulic tappets therefore it is important to follow the procedures given.

Note: Early LPW injectors were set at the following figures but all can now be set as given above. New ......................... 205-225bar (202-222atmos). Used ........................ 200bar (197atmos).
If a test rig is not available, it becomes necessary to replace the complete injector by a new or a serviced one. A serviced injector must have a clean nozzle and be set to the correct pressure. The complete faulty injector should then be sent to an accredited service depot for reconditioning. All sprays on LPA/LPW injectors should have the same appearance, and the same length of penetration in the air. If one spray is shorter or weaker than the others this indicates that the corresponding hole is partially blocked and best engine performance results will not be obtained. If one hole is totally blocked or the nozzle dribbles it must be replaced. If the nozzle only is replaced, the injector spring pressure must be reset and this cannot be done without the test rig. After testing and resetting the injector top plug must be torqued to LPA, LPW ........ 47.0Nm (35.0lbf ft). LPWS .............. 81.0Nm (65.0lbf ft).
page 26
4. Slacken the LPA or LPW injector clamp bolt. 5. Remove the pump to injector pipe. 6. LPA and LPW: Remove the injector clamp and lift out the injector. LPWS: Use the injector removal tool, 317-50112, to remove the injector by unscrewing it anticlockwise. 7. Remove the injector sealing washer from the cylinder head taking care not to damage the seating area. 8. Ensure the seating in the cylinder head is clean and smooth. 9. Lightly smear a very small amount of high melting point grease to one side of a new injector sealing washer and place it over the injector nozzle, greased side first.
CAUTION
If the injector sealing washer has been used more than once it may become compressed causing a leak or damage to the injector seat.
10.LPA and LPW: Replace the injector and clamp. Hand tighten the clamp bolt. LPWS: Screw in the injector and torque it to 68.0Nm (50.0lbf ft). 11. Replace the pump to injector pipe hand tightening the nuts. 12.Fit new rubber O rings into the recesses on the cylinder head cover. 13.Replace the pipe clip and torque the nut to 9.0Nm (6.5lbf ft). 14.Torque the LPA or LPW injector clamp bolt to 21.0Nm (15.5lbf ft). 15.Hold the fuel pump delivery valve holder with a spanner and torque the fuel pipe nuts to 29.0Nm (21.0lbf ft). 16.Replace the injector leak-off pipe.
page 27
Note: The figures given are with the oil at 110C (230F) and for idling speed they are the minimum pressures.
WARNING
New lubricating oil may cause skin irritation. Contact with used lubricating oil can cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
WARNING
The materials used in the manufacture and treatment of some filters and elements may cause irritation or discomfort if they come into contact with the eyes or mouth and they may give off toxic gasses if they are burnt.
WARNING
Extreme care must be taken to ensure that waste oil, filter elements, solvents or other toxic wastes are disposed of in accordance with local regulations to prevent contamination.
CAUTION
As a direct result of combustion the lubricating oil may contain harmful acids and therefore it should not be left in the sump if it is known that the engine will not be used for extended periods.
page 28
CAUTION
Do not overfill with lubricating oil as this may have a detrimental effect on engine performance.

Tighten the remaining bolts to 21.0Nm (15.5lbf ft). 12.Replace or tighten the axial fan side air cowling. 13.Move the jockey pulley or alternator outwards as far as possible by hand and tighten the pivot bolt and adjusting arm bolts. 14.Tension the drive belt as described in "02.9 The Drive Belt".
When a cylinder head cover is replaced a new joint should be fitted and the cover nuts torqued to 9.0Nm (6.5lbf ft). All LPA engines have individual cylinder heads and gaskets, LPW and LPWS engines have monobloc heads and gaskets. LPW4 and LPWT4 cylinder heads are not interchangeable. LPWG cylinder heads are a modification of the directinjection diesel head. The casting has been made slightly thicker around the injector bores to allow machining for the spark plugs. The spark plug is located on the injector centre line and the flame face of the head is flat. LPWG2 engines are fitted with valve rockers that do not have an oil feed hole. This is due to the unique crankcase breathing characteristics of the even-fire twin, which breaths much like a single-cylinder engine. As a result the valve gear receives adequate lubrication without a direct feed. LPWG3 and 4 engines have rocker arms with an oil feed hole in the pushrod socket.
WARNING
The two types of LPWG valve rockers are not interchangeable.
CAUTION
It is advisable to remove the water pump from the cylinder head as difficulty may be experienced when replacing the head with the pump still in position. Refer to "02.52 The Water Circulating Pump".
1. Remove the inlet and exhaust manifolds. 2. Slacken the fuel pump to injector pipe unions at both ends and then remove the pipe.

10.Lift out the push rods, if necessary. 11. Make a note of the position of the cylinder head retaining bolts and studs. 12.Slacken the cylinder head retaining bolts; to prevent possible damage to the exhaust manifold studs a long socket should be used. 13.Lift off the cylinder head. 14.Remove the cylinder head gasket.
4. Place a new cylinder head gasket onto the crankcase taking care to ensure the holes in the gasket coincide with those in the crankcase. On LPA engines the gaskets are fitted with the raised corrugations against the crankcase. 5. Replace the push rod tubes into the crankcase, taking extreme care to ensure they are centralised and fully fitted in the seals; misalignment of the tubes can cause serious damage to the seals. 6. Very carefully lower the cylinder head into position checking that the push rod tubes engage in the tube seals. Care must be taken to ensure the push rod seals are not damaged. 7. Refer to the relevant 'Head Bolt Locations' illustration and fit new cylinder head bolts, finger tight only, with spacers (X) and washers (Y) where these were originally fitted. The 'A', 'B' and 'C' annotations relate to the bolt type and location. On LPA engines coat both sides of the spacer (X) between the cylinder head and nut section of the valve rocker stud with Wellseal Jointing Compound.

In engines in good condition the vacuum increases slightly with engine speed, but not proportionally. A fluctuating vacuum may indicate faulty oil seals, valves or piston blow-by troubles. Crankcase pressure can cause serious oil leaks and often occurs in engines which need overhauling.
page 74
CAUTION
Lister Petter recommend that oils of different brands or types are not mixed together. Notes:
page 75
CAUTION
Some of the following classifications may not be available in your country. In cases of difficulty, it is suggested contact be made with a reputable oil supplier or any Lister Petter Distributor. Note: US 'S' grade oils are for gasolene engines and are not recommended for Lister Petter diesel engines.
page 76
CAUTION
The fuel injection equipment is manufactured to very accurate limits and the smallest particle of dirt will destroy its efficiency. Fuel free from water and contaminants is of the utmost importance.
CAUTION
Wax formation can rapidly reduce the flow of fuel through the fuel filter element.
page 77
WARNING
Coolant concentrate must not be allowed to come into contact with the skin; adhere to the manufacturers instructions and precautions.
03.3.2 Concentration
A 40% concentration must be maintained under all operating conditions. To determine the amount of coolant concentrate to be added it will be necessary to calculate the total coolant capacity by adding together that of the engine, as given in "02.47.3 Engine Block Coolant Capacity", the radiator, or heat exchanger, and associated pipe work capacities.
page 78
WARNING
Operation on 'sour' wellhead gas has not been approved by Lister-Petter.
WARNING
GAS IS FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE AND CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Take special care to ensure all sources of ignition are well away from areas where fuel fumes are present and areas sharing ventilation. Gas fuel lines must be secured, free of leaks and separated, or shielded from electrical wiring. Take care to prevent leaks which can lead to explosive accumulations of gas. Natural gas is lighter than air and rises when released. LPG is heavier than air and sinks when released. Approved non-conductive flexible fuel pipes should be used for gas connections to the engine.
Note: LPWG propane fuelled engines are designed for operation on HD-5 fuel (motor fuel grade propane).
page 79
CAUTION
The regulator is not a fuel shut-off device.
WARNING
CARB and EPA emissions compliant engine adjustments are factory sealed. No attempt should be made to change these adjustments.
1. Turn the idle air bypass screw all the way in (clockwise) until it bottoms and then back it out 2 full turns. 2. With the engine running at full rated load, set the power mixture valve initially to about 3/4 'rich'. 3. Apply full load to the engine. The throttle lever will be at some relatively fixed position. 4. Gradually turn the valve towards 'lean' until the throttle lever just slightly opens from its original position at full load.
CAUTION
Leakage can occur if the fuel supply pipe and fittings are not aligned correctly.
WARNING
Do not exceed 49.3mbar (19.8in WG) as damage to the regulator diaphragm will result.
CAUTION
If a CARB or EPA compliant propane carburettor is to be repaired, the original gas valve must be re-used.
Gas valves for natural gas fuel are swaged onto the air and gas valve assembly, and propane gas valves are secured with a screw.
At least one additional primary regulator is usually required to drop the line pressure (natural gas) or the tank pressure (vaporised propane) to the required inlet pressure. In some countries, natural gas line pressure may be as low as 12.0mbar (4.8in WG). The vapour pressure of propane is 8.3bar (120lb/in2) at 39C (70F). Vapour propane installations will require two regulators in series between the tank and the secondary regulator.
page 80
WARNING
CARB and EPA emissions compliant engine adjustments are factory sealed. No attempt should be made to change these adjustments.
1. Remove the adjustment cap on top of the regulator using a straight-blade screwdriver. The adjustment screw is underneath the cap. 2. To increase outlet pressure, turn the screw 'in' or to the right. 3. To decrease outlet pressure, turn the screw 'out' or to the left. 4. Replace the adjustment cap.
CAUTION
If the secondary regulator is faulty, it should be replaced and no repairs to it should be attempted.

WARNING
One side of the magnet wheel is marked Flywheel Side. On LPWG engines this side must face away from the flywheel, towards the radiator.
The wheel contains a 'North' and a 'South' pole magnet. The two magnets are separated by 117 of rotation; this is the dwell angle. The close-fitting retaining washers align the magnet wheel concentrically with the crankshaft and maintains a nominal constant air gap of 0.76mm (0.030in) between the wheel and the module(s). The Hall-effect modules are positioned around the circumference of the magnet wheel by an ignition plate, and are switched on and off as the magnets pass by. The dwell period begins when the North pole is directly in line with the Hall-effect module, and ends when the South pole passes in line with the module. Each coil requires its own Hall-effect module and each cylinder is fired once every revolution at the top of the compression stroke and at the top of the exhaust stroke. The exhaust firing is known as a maverick or wasted spark.
page 82
CAUTION
The installation of replacement ignition system components not supplied by Lister Petter may result in a reduction of available spark energy, which can cause misfiring on the compression stroke. The unburned fuel can then be ignited on the exhaust stroke by the wasted spark, causing a backfire through the inlet manifold due to valve overlap.
WARNING
Do not leave this power connected any longer than necessary or damage to the coil and/or module may result.
5. Connect the positive (+) lead of a DC voltmeter to the negative (-) terminal of the coil, and the negative (-) lead to a chassis ground (the ignition plate is a good spot). The voltmeter will read less than 1 volt DC during the dwell period, and will immediately increase to battery voltage (approximately 12.6 volts DC) when the dwell period ends and the coil is to fire. 6. The magnet wheel may need to be rotated through a full revolution to initiate the dwell period. Always rotate the magnet wheel in the direction of engine rotation, which is clockwise looking on the front of the engine. 7. With the coil on dwell (voltmeter reading low) slowly rotate the magnet wheel until the voltage goes high, then tighten the magnet wheel setscrew. 8. Remove the voltmeter and jumper leads. 9. Verify the timing is correct while the engine is running by using an inductive timing light and the flywheel timing marks. Natural gas engines should have a dynamic timing of 20 BTDC, and propane engines should be 10 BTDC.
page 83
WARNING
An oversize electrode gap may allow the spark to escape elsewhere in the ignition system and damage other high tension components.

WARNING
SOME ENGINES MAY BE FITTED WITH SEALS OR O RINGS MANUFACTURED FROM VITON OR A SIMILAR MATERIAL. WHEN EXPOSED TO ABNORMALLY HIGH TEMPERATURES, IN EXCESS OF 400C (752F), AN EXTREMELY CORROSIVE ACID IS PRODUCED WHICH CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM THE SKIN. IF SIGNS OF DECOMPOSITION ARE EVIDENT, OR IF IN DOUBT, ALWAYS WEAR DISPOSABLE HEAVY DUTY GLOVES.
WARNING
Routine maintenance must be performed by qualified persons who are conversant with the hazards of fuels, electricity and machinery. Read the Safety Precautions in "Section 01. General Information" and observe all instructions and precautions in this publication.
These recommendations and instructions cover several engine models therefore they are of a general nature. The engines are assembled to predetermined builds and individual engines may include optional equipment not specifically covered in this book in which case any Lister Petter Distributor or Dealer can be consulted. The engine should receive regular attention during the first 50 hours of its life from new and after a major overhaul. Long periods of light or no load running early in the engines life may lead to cylinder bore glazing and high oil consumption. The instructions given in "1.16.5 Maintenance Schedules" are based on average operating conditions and cover the minimum requirements to keep an engine running at peak performance with trouble free operation. Under very dusty conditions, air cleaners, lubricating oil and fuel filters will require more frequent attention Decarbonising may be required more often if the engine has been running on light loads for long periods. Before carrying out any maintenance work on an engine it is advisable to remove the battery. The battery and alternator must be disconnected before commencing any electric welding when a pole strap is directly or indirectly connected to the engine. It is essential to ensure that nuts and bolts are tightened to the torques specified in this manual. When reassembling an engine lubricate all moving parts with engine oil. Renew nuts and bolts that have been taken from high stress locations. In particular nuts and/or bolts from the connecting rods should be renewed. The fuel injector can only be checked and set off the engine using suitable specialist test equipment. A Hurth or Newage gearbox may be fitted to the engine and the gearbox manufacturers publication should be consulted for information on operating and routine maintenance procedures. Basic information can be found in "06 Marine Gearboxes".
WARNING
ON NO ACCOUNT ALLOW ANY UNPROTECTED SKIN TO COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE INJECTOR SPRAY AS THE FUEL MAY ENTER THE BLOOD STREAM WITH FATAL RESULTS.
page 95
WARNING
Continuous operation under heavy loads in ambient temperatures above 35C (95F) causes the oil to deteriorate faster. Under these circumstances the oil and filter should be changed every 125 hours.
Note: The oil and filter change periods, given in hours, apply when engines are operating regularly at temperatures exceeding 35C (95F) at high speeds and duty factors.
The engines should be serviced with Mobil Pegasus 480 SAE40, Mobil Delvac Super GEO 15W 40 or a similar type of lubricating oil. If these oils are not available, a name brand detergent lubricating oil specified for automotive gasoline engines can be used. The required minimum zinc content for LPWG lubricating oil is 800 parts per million (ppm). Most lubricating oils for flat tappet engines have a zinc content of about 1200 ppm.
WARNING
Do not use lubricating oils formulated for large industrial gas engines with roller tappets, as the zinc content is insufficient to protect the camshaft and flat tappets.
Note: The oil and filter change periods, given in hours, apply when engines are operating regularly at temperatures exceeding 35C (95F) at high speeds and duty factors.
page 96
Every 1000 Hours The above and the following items. C heck all external nuts, bolts and uni ons for tightness. Ensure that all guards are firmly attached and not damaged. Replace the fuel lift pump diaphragn; see Note: Every 2000 Hours The above and the following items. Decarbonise, if performance has deteriorated, renewing all joints and seals as necessary. Drain and clean the engine mounted fuel tank, if fitted. Check the engine and speed controls for free movement. Clean and check, or replace, the fuel injector nozzles. Check the radiator fins and radiator fan blades for damage. Replace the radiator fan drive belt irrespective of condition. Check the lubricating oil pressure. Renew the air cleaner element. Every 6000 Hours The previous items and give the engine a major overhaul, if necessary. Every Year - LPW and LPWS Drain, flush and refill the cooling system adding new coolant concentrate to a 40% concentration. Every Year - All Engines Drain and replace the lubricating oil and filter, irrespective of their condition, if the engine has run for less than 250 hours in the preceding twelve months. On marine engines change the air cleaner element if it was not changed at the presribed intervals. Every Two Years Replace the coolant hoses irrespective of their condition.
Note: It is recommended that the fuel lift pump diaphragm is inspected at more frequent intervals if it is known the fuel is contaminated. It should also be inspected at regular intervals on engines in low duty cycle applications; for example, stand-by generating sets.
