The present operating instructions include notes and guidelines for proper handling of the engine plant. It is
matched with the equipment condition and the type of fuel sold.
Since the type of fuel used considerably influences the service life of the components, the Caterpillar after-
sales service has to be consulted when it is required to change from destillate fuel operation to heavy fuel
oil operation, in order to ensure an expert retrofit of the engine plant and to exchange the necessary docu-
mentation. When changing over from heavy fuel oil operation to destillate operation, the Caterpillar after-
sales service should also be consulted for a longer period of time so that a documentation with extended
maintenance intervals can be made available.

1. General
It is assumed that the engine room personnel has the necessary knowledge and experi-
ence required for the proper maintenance and servicing of engines. For this reason and
in the interest of clearness we did not go too much into details in the maintenance docu-
ments.
No claims can be raised owing to missing instructions in the maintenance documents, if

damage is caused by improper handling.
All information refers to the date of printing.
2. Explanation of the maintenance system
2.1 Scheduled maintenance
Without “Scheduled maintenance” the economic operation of supercharged engine is in

the long run not possible at today's state of art.
The explanations are used to make the user of this engine plant familiar with the existing
maintenance system of Caterpillar Motoren GmbH & Co. KG and to interest and deepen
the understanding of the user for the problems and importance of the “Scheduled
maintenance”.
It is the purpose of the maintenance to replace parts subject to wear and tear or to repair
these parts before they are damaged.
The “Scheduled maintenance” is thereby supported by inspections according to fixed

deadlines. These inspections are decision criteria for the need and extend of mainte-
nance and servicing.
The following is used as parameter:
• data on wear and tear

• evaluation criterion and
• performance checks
It is recommended to consult Caterpillar Motoren GmbH & Co. KG with regard to exten-
ded intervals in order to maintain the guarantee.
The information given by us gives no rise to legal claims.

DANGER
Danger when starting the M 20 C engine with barring rod still inserted.
For barring the M 20 C engine a barring rod is used.
The inserted barring rod is not monitored by the control system and, therefore, does
not cause a starting interlock. If all other starting conditions are met, this engine could
be started with an inserted barring rod!

NOTE
So-called valve projection is used to identify premature wear of the valves and valve
seat inserts. It is measured at regular intervals at a defined location, and the measu-
red values are documented and evaluated.
The valve height is to be measured upon commissioning, after installation of new or

overhauled cylinder heads, and at further defined measuring intervals by means of a
depth gauge (Fig. 1/W3). The obtained measuring values are to be recorded on the
attached measuring sheet and then copied into the “Valve ProjectionFalsePlease
forward the filled in evaluation chart to your responsible Caterpillar Customer
Service for an evaluation of the measuring values.

4. Maintenance 01
(Check of contact reflection / grinding)
4.1 Apply small dots of diamond paste Dp 30/

10 - 15 µm with a syringe to the valve cone
or the new or remachined valve cone and
distribute the paste evenly (Fig. 4). The
seat ring surface is then sprayed with a
thinner (F25) belonging to the diamond
paste for dilution in order to increase the
grip.
4.2 Push the lubricated valve stem into the

guide. Fix the device (Fig. 5/W1) to the
valve head.
4.3 Grind the cone and seating surface by

turning the device backwards and
forwards 6 to 8 times applying a moderate
pressure to the valve head.
Lift the cone several times thereby so that
the grinding paste can flow back onto the
grinding surface.
The contact area (Fig. 6/a), visible due to

the light grinding procedure should not
exceed
30 - 50 % of the seat width "b"
starting at the outer diameter

NOTE
The term valve refers to the combination of valve stem and valve seat ring. The latter
is firmly inserted into the cylinder head.
ATTENTION
It is not allowable to grind in valve stems with nitrided sealing surfaces.
Material removal, whether by grinding-in or refinishing of the sealing surface of

a nitrided valve stem will necessarily destroy the valve stem which may then not
be used any more.
Valve stems with nitrided sealing surface manufactured after April 2013 are additionally
marked in the upper stem area. Previous marking for a nitrided M 25 C valve stem was
e.g. “MaK 25-07 IN“ (where “25“ indicates the engine type, “07“ the variant, and “IN“ is
the code for inlet valve). For valve stems with nitrided sealing surface the hyphen
(minus) is replaced by “N“ .
The markings listed in the following (old or new) are exclusively applied to valve stems
with nitrided sealing surface. These valves must not be ground in or refinished!
Old marking New marking

In case of doubt, please contact your authorized Caterpillar workshop.

M20-VM46DF
01
NOTE
During regular maintenance of the engine, (e.g. after 15,000 hours), the valve seat rings
should if possible be refinished and the valve stem should be replaced. On non nitrided
valve stems also the valve stem sealing surface may be refinished.
Refinishing / replacement may also become necessary if during non-scheduled

maintenance or a partial check of the valves the findings are not okay.
It is not allowable to refinish nitrided valve stem sealing surfaces.

When one or several replacement criteria are reached, it is always necessary to refinish
the valve seat ring and replace the valve stem by a new one.
Example of negative findings:

Fig. 1 shows a valve stem with damage to the sealing surface all around.
Fig. 2 shows the sealing surface of a valve seat ring with deep pits in the left and a
jagged sealing surface area in the right half of the picture.
Both figures show severe damage to the valve sealing surfaces. The sealing surfaces
need to be refinished. If the refinishing limits are reached, the parts must be replaced.
When the sealing surfaces of a non nitrided valve (valve stem/valve seat ring Fig. 1
and 2) show uneven contact patterns or deeper pits, always refinish both sealing
surfaces.

1. Cleaning of the valve seat rings 01
ATTENTION
A wrong tool may cause damage to the sealing surfaces!
Do not use any material removing tools or materials.
1.1 Spray coke deposits with clean freshwater. After a short exposure time wipe them off with a
cleaning rag. More tenacious incrustations may also be carefully removed by means of a brass
brush.
2. Evaluation of sealing surfaces
NOTE
The hardness of the valve seat ring sealing surface is designed in such a manner
that it possesses a certain adaptability with regard to the valve stem sealing surface.
Dents by coke are, therefore, a normal phenomenon and of no concern (Fig. 3). If,
however, the dents by coke should extend over the entire width of the sealing
surface, as shown in Fig. 4, there is a risk of "blow by" and the valve sealing
surfaces must be refinished or the valves must be replaced, as the case may be.
en / 21.10.2013 IB028458 4/8

M20-VM46DF
01
2.1 Valve seat rings are re-usable without refinishing when
• the sealing surface shows a bare metal finish all around, dark discoloration is allowable,
• there are no dents by coke suggesting blow-by or visible wear,
• a check by means of illuminated magnifier (8-fold magnification) or

dye penetrant inspection (Met-L-Chek) has not revealed any cracks in the sealing surface.
2.2 Valve seat rings are not re-usable when
• there are cracks in the sealing surface
• there is blow-by
• the limit for refinishing has been exceeded.
3. Repair (refinishing of valve seat rings))
ATTENTION
Risk of damage due to a wrong assumption regarding the sealing surface angle!
This note applies to inlet valves of distillate fuel engines (MDO) only.
The inlet valve sealing surfaces of distillate fuel engines (MDO) may have different
sealing surface angles depending on their equipment status (see following tables). If
different angular degrees are indicated for the inlet valves your engine type, check
which sealing surface angle is the correct one for your specific engine before carrying
out any refinishing work or ordering spare parts.
Inlet valves of heavy fuel engines (HFO) always have an angle of 30 5’ .
ATTENTION
Avoid destroying the nitrided valve stem sealing surface!
It is not allowable to grind in valves with nitrided valve stem sealing surface!
When reaching one or several replacement criteria, only the valve seat ring of a
nitrided valve combination may be refinished, the valve stem has to be replaced by a
new one.
Refinishing has to take place in a professional manner using a special Caterpillar
valve seat refinishing tool (not included in the scope of supply). If the refinishing limit is
reached, the valve seat ring must be replaced. These jobs should be carried out by an
authorized Caterpillar workshop.

4.5 Grind the sealing surfaces of valve stem and valve seat ring for a short time applying a modera-
te pressure by rotating the valve jig in both directions. The percentage contact area (Fig. 7/a)
made visible through the smooth grinding-in process shall, over the entire circumference, not
exceed 30 - 50 % of the seat width “b“ starting from the outside diameter.
ATTENTION
Ensure that the components (valve stem and valve seat ring) ground in together will
stay together.
NOTE
In case of a poor contact pattern do not continue to regrind but check whether the two
sealing surface angles of valve stem and valve seat ring really match each other.

NOTE
Crank web deflection is the change in distance between a web pair during one rotation
of the crankshaft (Fig. 1). It is primarily used for measuring and evaluating the align-
ment of an engine with respect to its shafting.
Severe crank web deflection will subject crankshaft and main bearings to additional
load, i.e. the admissible crank web deflection level essentially depends on the engine
load.
Highly loaded engines will allow less crank web deflection than engines subjected to
low load.
Depending on the installation site of the engine, the rigidity of the foundation, and
whether the engine is in warm or cold condition, differing values are obtained. Crank
web deflection should, therefore, always be measured at the same conditions.
Changes that suddenly appear or appear after a longer period under otherwise
unchanged conditions are indicative of deformation or settling phenomena in the foun-
dation.

02
NOTE
It is, therefore, suggested to collect the measurement sheets extra, because this is the
only way to get a clear picture of the chronological allocation of the measuring values
and their changes.If the limits are reached, the main bearings must be inspected and
the engine must be realigned.
Measurements are to be carried out in the following cases:
When there is suspicion or danger of deformation of the foundation, e.g.:

• after a major damage
• settling phenomena of the foundation
• bearing or crankshaft damage
_ +
a) Initial position b) Negative deflection c) Positive deflection
NOTE
In order to get a clear measurement result, crank web deflection is to be measured
on an engine at operating temperature only.

NOTE
During piston inspection, pay special attention to any sharp edges of the piston rings,
ring tension, or rings sticking due to carbon deposits.
Depending on the personnel’s own critical judgement the complete check of all pi-
stons may be postponed to a later date, however, not beyond a maxium of 30,000
operating hours and subject to the following conditions:
•the running surfaces of all cylinder liners are without marks, polished spots, and wi-
thout any other damages,
•the parts of the drawn piston must be in perfect condition,
•all piston rings must be free in the grooves, and
•no part must present unpermissible wear
Do not remove the graphite coating on the piston skirt.
After fitting new piston rings, the engine must be run in according to the running-in re-
gulation, see engine documentation, chapter "Operating Instructions"
Built up pistons with chromium-plated first ring groove must only be reconditioned by
Caterpillar contract workshops.

NOTE
The small end bearing consists of the bearing pin (fig. 2/1) and the small end bearing
bush (2).
Inserting a small end bearing bush is hardly possible with conventional equipment.
This work should only be carried out by Caterpillar or an authorized workshop.
The small end bearing bush in the stepped con-rod has a galvanic running code.
The service limit values (fig. 1) are decisive for assessment of the small end bearing.
A small end bearing should only be replaced if

NOTE
The following work should only be carried out by Caterpillar or an authorized work-
shop. Only do it yourself in an emergency!
2.1 Do not use force when dismantling the small end bearing bush.
The small end bearing bush (fig. 2/2) is not allowed to be pressed out. It has to be made ten-
sion-free by carefully sawing or milling it and then it is removed.
CAUTION
Attention must be paid that the surface of the small end bearing bore in the con-rod is
not damaged!
After removing the small end bearing, the surface of the bore has to be carefully
examined for cracks, corrosive scares or other damage. Only suitable crack detectors
such as Magna-Flux and a magnifying glass should be used. Accumulations of mate-
rial should carefully be removed.
Con-rods with a damaged bore surface in the small end bearing bore are not allowed
to be used again without being refinished.
Refinishing is usually possible by Caterpillar Replacement con-rods are available from
Caterpillar for such cases.
3. Assembly of the small end bearing
3.1 Undercool the small end bearing bush to approx. -60 °C in liquid nitrogen and heat up the con-rod
to approx. 100 °C in a clean oil bath.
WARNING
Working with liquid nitrogen can cause burns! Pay attention to safety regulations!
3.2 Insert the small end bearing bush in the con-rod.
CAUTION
•Pay attention to the correct position of the small end bearing bush in the con-rod!
•The lateral projection (fig. 2/Z) of the small end bearing bush must be equal!
•Pay attention to the position of the oil bores and oil grooves!

1.6 Striping 03
As a basic rule, there are three degrees of striping formation:
1. Faint striping (s-) = harmless

2. Normal striping (s) = harmless
3. Unacceptable striping (s+) = replacement required
The most important wear criterion is the condition of the honing structure in the area of the striping. If the
honing structure is not destroyed, it can be assumed, based on insights gained to date, that such striping
will not lead to a critical condition and that the affected cylinder liner can remain in the engine. This also ap-
plies in particular if there is a higher amount of stripes of this degree in one cylinder liner.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspection:
Check control air lines and fittings for tightness and proper function.
NOTE
During the checks air must be admitted to the piping. In rather rare cases leakages
can be stated by noise; normally an air detector will be required to find the leakages.
The interval for draining results from the water quantity stated that depends on air
consumption, temperature and operating site.
Drain pipes and air vessel. The drain cocks are fitted at lowest points on the inclined side of
the pipes.
lnspect the piping visually and check for tight fit of the fittings and tightness of the screwed
connections.
NOTES
When fitting new pipes, the following must be observed:
Use either seamless steel pipes or copper pipes (against corrosion) for the
control piping. Steel pipes must not be corroded nor have any other fault im-
pairing their good operation. Only copper pipes are permitted for the pneuma-
tic remote control.
All pipes have to be laid as straightlined as possible without water pockets.

Water pockets which cannot be avoided must have a draining socket with plug
at the lowest point. The radius of pipe bends must be as large as possible.
All pipes are to be bent in a cold condition. Never fill the pipes with sand or si-
milar material for bending.
Fit the bent pipes carefully and free them from any scale or other impurities before
mounting them on the engine.

NOTES
Keep the number of pipe connections and the resulting sealing points as low
as possible. The use of red lead, varnish or white lead is not permitted becau-
se this would make a later undoing of the connections more difficult and disin-
tegrated particles might enter the air ducts and cause damage.
If any pipes do not properly fit together they must be rebent so that they can be laid
without tension. Blow through them with compressed air after bending.
CAUTION
Assembly work must be done with extreme care and cleanliness. Even the slightest
dirt particles in the lines could entail failure of the control units.

function of the individual control units.
Regulating units (pressure reducers) must be checked in their circuit after mainte-
nance work for their setting values and must be reset if required.
See to it that no air is available at the components to be disassembled or that no air
can be admitted to these.
Prior to disassembly operations and where required measure and mark the position
of valves, lengths of levers and lever travels of, e.g., actuators, limitations by set
screws, and so on.
Do not dismantle control fittings at random since the built-in springs are sometimes
prestressed. In case there is available a screw or nut for adjustment of the prestress,
slacken these completely. Thoroughly clean the individual parts and exchange wear
parts. During assembly slightly grease rubber rings and their sliding surfaces with the
grease prescribed.

CAUTION
Wear on the pressure control valve parts
In order to minimize wear on the pressure control valve turn the cap (Fig. 16/T8) only in
pressureless state.
4.1 After the dismantling/mounting of the pressure reducing station, it is required to readjust the
’operating pressure of the pressure control valves. In order to do so, the grub screw (Fig. 16/T7)
has to be loosened and the cap (T8) has to be screwed out of the housing with the exception of
the last five turns.

WARNING
Risk of burns.
• Before carrying out any work on the exhaust manifold it is absolutely required to
check the exhaust gas temperature!
• Allow the exhaust manifold to cool down sufficiently!
CAUTION
• In order to prevent damage to the expansion joints, they must not be subjec-
ted to bending or radial force during removal or installation.Bolting/clamping
of the compensators into place during installation results in a slight degree of
prestress (approximately 3-5 mm stretching) in axial direction.
• Insert all bolts with “Rivolta G.W.F.” high-temperature thread paste in order to
prevent sticking due to heat.
• In order to cope with the specific thermal load characteristics of the exhaust
manifold, only materials meeting these particularly stringent requirements
are used for its fastening. Therefore, use only genuine Caterpillar spare
parts.
NOTE
The exhaust pipe after turbocharger must also be checked within the scope of
this inspection. In case of severe vibrations or noise on the turbocharger, the
flange connections of the exhaust pipe after turbocharger must be slakkened
and checked for stress-free installation.
1. Check of the exhaust manifold for leaks
1.1 Remove the exhaust cladding.
1.2 Check all bolted connections and brackets for tightness.
1.3 Carry out a visual inspection on flanges and expansion joints (if possible, check while the engine
is running).
NOTE
Accumulation of soot, which may occur particularly on flanges and expansion joints,
is an indication of leaks.
Unless these are caused by cracks in the piping system or loose bolted connections,
new gaskets must be used.
Expansion joints with cracked bellows must be replaced.

2. Removal of the exhaust manifold 06
CAUTION
Avoid lowering of the exhaust manifold!
Never loosen all connections to the cylinder head at the same time on a fully fitted
exhaust manifold. Even partial loosening of the connections to the cylinder head may
lead to lowering of the exhaust manifold and thus destroy the expansion joints.
NOTE
• Before removal clearly mark the installation position and location of the expansion
joints and exhaust tube segments with chalk. Photos of the exhaust manifold from
different perspectives will make it easier to install the exhaust tube segments and
brackets at their proper location.
• Do not subject the expansion joints to bending or radial force!
2.1 Specific feature of the M 43/VM 43 and M 46 DF/VM 46 DF engines
2.1.1 Before removing the exhaust manifold each exhaust tube segment must be secured by screwing
in the retaining screw (W3) (see Fig. 1).

CAUTION
Pay attention to hidden brackets and fasteners!
Engines with pulse charging system require the removal of further brackets and fa-
steners that are not indicated in detail.
2.3 Remove all expansion joints up to the turbocharger of the corresponding exhaust manifold.
2.4 Carefully unscrew and remove from the sensor sleeve (Fig. 2/2) all thermal sensors (Fig. 2/1)
located directly before the flange connection between exhaust tube segment and cylinder head.

2.5 Attach the individual exhaust tube segments to the crane one after the other, loosen and remove
the flange connection to the cylinder head.
2.6 Put the exhaust tube segments down at a suitable place and secure them against slipping.
3. Cleaning of the exhaust manifold
3.1 Clean the exhaust tube segments from the inside, inspect them for cracks and replace them, if
necessary.
3.2 Check the expansion joints for cracks and replace them, if necessary.

4. Reassembly of the exhaust manifold 06
NOTE
• As a basic rule for reinstalling the exhaust manifold it has to be borne in mind that
no gasket
(Fig. 3/4) needs to be installed between flange connections adjoining an expansion
joint.
• Use gaskets only between two exhaust tube segments or between exhaust tube
segment and cover plate.
• Always insert the gaskets with the lug (Fig. 3/4a) pointing upwards.
• Gaskets always with bead (Fig. 3/4b) pointing towards exhaust tube segment.
• Self-locking nuts may not be reused after removal and must be replaced by new
nuts.

NOTE
All parts of the injection pump are manufactured with utmost precision in special
workshops. This is the only guarantee for proper functioning. When repairing a
pump, make sure that the various parts of one pump, e.g. the control sleeve remain
allocated to the respective housing. A renewal or exchange of the parts will consi-
derably influence the fuel delivery. The pump must therefore be reset on the test rig.
The pump plunger and the plunger barrel are only allowed to be replaced together. In
order to keep repair costs low, pump elements should be reworked only completely
and clearly marked to avoid confusion. Lapped surfaces must be preserved and not
touched with fingers.
In case of a significant drop of the cylinder output check the injection pump and if
necessary exchange the pressure maintaining valve or the plunger barrel.
The admissible lube oil leak rate of the fuel injection pump is
150 ml / h

DANGER
When checking the injection pressure: Danger! Keep your hands off the fuel jet!
NOTE
Carbon trumpets at the nozzle are mostly caused by insufficient cooling. Corrosive
attack and erosion, however, are the consequence if the nozzle temperature is too
low and/or the charge air temperature is too low or water is in the charge air.
A perfect functioning of the injection nozzles can only be assessed by the behavior of
the exhaust gas temperatures/smoke behavior.
The injection valve should only be checked if there is a significant deviation of the ex-
haust gas temperature from the average value.
A bad injection in the test device in the case of heavy fuel nozzles is often caused by
insufficient flushing of the injection valve with diesel oil before the test. The injection
nozzle should be carefully cleaned again before replacing it.
A drop in the opening pressure of up to 20 bar is normal after a short period of opera-
tion (settling phenomena of the nozzle spring and needle).

NOTE
The cleaning and maintenance of the filter must be completed with the greatest of
care in order to prevent faults in the fuel injection system.
Never allow the filter to cool when full when operating with distillate fuel.
The filter cleaning interval is primarily dependent on the engine operating conditions,
the fuel quality and the quality of fuel separation, and is therefore different for each
engine system.
The filter must be inspected, and cleaned if necessary, 24 hours after starting up a
new system or after completing work on the fuel line system.
The sieve cartridges should not be cleaned with an ultrasonic cleaning device, as
improper handling during cleaning and cleaning the cartridges too long may lead to
damage to the sieve that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

“Operating Media, Lubricating Oil Change”.
The lubricating oil change interval depends on the following factors:
• Operating hours
• Lubricating oil quality
• Operating conditions of the engine
• Lubricating oil consumption
• Lubricating oil treatment or separation
• Volume of lubricating oil in the circulation system
The change interval can be extended if the results of the lubricating oil analysis permit.
Permissible analysis values (see engine documentation, “Operating Media,
Lubricating Oil Change”).

Maintenance:
Prelubrication and turning approximately every 150 h
NOTE
When multi-engine systems run on rigid bearings, the bearings might be damaged by
vibration when individual engines are shut down for more than 3 days.
Prelubrication alone is no guarantee that damage caused by vibration is prevented,

since the components which run on sliding bearings, are not able to float in the bea-
ring because of the prelubricating pressure. No or only a little quantity of oil is carried
to the endangered contact surfaces.
Damage caused by vibration during engine shut-down can only be avoided when the
engine is lubricated and turned simultaneously.
The following method is to be applied to avoid damage caused by engine shut-down,

without affecting the unattended operation of the system:
1. Carry out steps 1.1 and 1.2 simultaneously for approx. 5 min.
1.1 Start the stand-by pump
1.2 Turn the engine by means of the barring gear.

Dismantling
Drain off all liquid from the pump and disconnect and remove the suction and
disconnect the discharge pipework.
If it is only required to replace the seal assembly the pump can be left on the power
unit.
Remove the volute and volute o-ring.
To gain access to the shaft seal, loosen and remove the impeller nut and washer,
The thread of the impeller nut is left hand for the –C pump and right hand for the –D
pump.
Using a suitable extractor plate, draw the impeller off the shaft – NB, the impeller has
3 x M10 tapped holes on 80mm P.C.D which can be used for this purpose.
The shaft seal is now accessible.

Remove the rotating seal assembly from the shaft and examine the faces.
The stationary half of the seal assembly can be removed form the seal plate
Remove the sealplate form the bearing housing and flinger from the shaft.
If it is necessary to inspect or replace the bearings or oil seal, disconnect the

lubrication pipes and detach the pump from the power unit by unbolting the mounting
flange and pulling the pump forward.
Remove the drive gear from the shaft assembly.

Remove the four socket set screws and the bearing end cap, then pull the shaft
assembly out carefully.
Note: The four socket setscrews are secured with loctite and will require higher than
usual breakout torque.
Inspect running faces of the shaft assembly. If one is scored, pitted or grooved, the
complete shaft assembly must be replaced.
Inspect the bearings and replace if necessary.
To remove the front bearing, remove the oil seal from the bearing housing.
This will reveal the bearing which can then be tapped out of the bearing housing.
Assembly
Drive in the front bearing and rear bearing.
Note:
1. Ensure that the bearings and bearing housing are free from dirt and moisture.
2. Maintain concentricity when driving bearing into bore.
3. The oil hole in the bearings are to be in line with the hole in the bearing housing.
4. Do not damage the working surfaces of the bearings.
5. Use a pipe or bar of the appropriate size to drive in the front bearing.
Carefully slide the shaft into the bearing housing and replace the end cap. Use loctite
242 to secure the socket screws when fitting the bearing cap and loctite flange sealnt
around the lubrication hole.
Fit the drive gear.

Press the oil seal into the bearing housing with the lip facing the bearing and taking
care not to damage the lip on the shaft.
Fit the sealplate on the bearing housing and re-fit the seal (refer to shaft seal
instruction sheet attached).
Clean the impeller bore and shaft taper and carefully fit the impeller onto the shaft.
Re-fit the washer and tighten impeller nut to 60Nm and tighten a further 170degrees
Fit o-ring around sealplate diameter.
Bolt volute to bearing housing.
Re-fit pump to engine and re-connect the suction and discharge pipework.
Fill the pump and pipework with the liquid to be pumped and inspect for any leaks.
GENERAL INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STRAIGHT
CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS
Pipework
Independent supports must be provided for all pipework, the weight must not be
carried by the pump. Provision must be made for expansion and contraction when
pumping hot liquids.
The pipework system must have facilty for isolating, dismantling or removal of the
pump.
Pump Mounting
Before fitting the pump to the engine the drive gear should be securely fitted. If oil
lubrication is necessary the relevant pump bearing housing plugs should be removed
to allow lubrication pipes to be fitted. Before final fitting consult engine
manufacturers instructions.
Operation and Maintenance
Rotation
Check pump is running in the correct rotation as indicated on arrowed plate.
Priming
Before a straight centrifugal pump will operate, the suction line and impeller eye need
to be filled with liquid. This is also necessary to ascertain that pump internals are
lubricated by the liquid.
1. If a non-return valve or gate valve are fitted on the discharge side, air may
be exhausted from the suction line by hand or by mechanical means. During
this operation the gate valve should be kept closed, then liquid will fill the
pump under atmospheric pressure.
2. When the pump is operating under flooded suction conditions a gate valve
Should be fitted in the suction line and when the valve is opened liquid will be
forced by atmospheric pressure into the pump. The air must be able to escape
through the discharge line; alternatively an air vent should be provided in the
pump casing.
Gaskets
Replace pump and pipe gaskets if worn or ensure that they are of the correct thickness
and of a suitable material for the liquid being pumped.
Continued /…..
By-Pass Connection
When the pump is required to work against a closed discharge for a length of time, a
small amount of liquid should be recirculated from the pump to the source of supply.
This will eliminate any rise in temperature of the liquid within the pump. The amount
required increases with pump size and speed.
Bearings
Lubrication is provided by a supply of oil from the engine and requires no attention.
Note: Plugs are fitted to the bearing housing oilways to prevent the ingress of dirt
during transit and storage. Ensure that these are removed before the pump is fitted to
the engine.
Storage Of Pump
Store in a dry, well ventilated room.
All pump units should have the shaft rotated at regular intervals to keep the lubricant
distributed and prevent any build-up of rust.
Drain off all liquid.
Shaft Seal
When the shaft seal becomes worn, it is recommended that a complete new seal
assembly is fitted.
FAULT LOCATION
PUMP WILL NOT DISCHARGE Air leak in suction connection

Activities:
1. Construction of the condensate trap

2. Check of the condensate trap
3. Maintenance of the condensate trap
4. Care of the condensate trap
5. Start-up of the condensate trap
CAUTION
Hazard to persons due to leaking operating medium, high pressure and high tempe-
ratures. Failure to comply with these warnings may lead to accidents.
Avoid any unsafe working methods.
Condensate trap weight approx. 13 kg
ATTENTION
Any improper use, intervention in the design and deviation from the design data auto-
matically lead to termination of the warranty. The float-controlled condensate trap is
designed for the discharge of condensate from steam, compressed air and pressure
gas systems. Any other use is not permissible. The manufacturer is not liable for
damage resulting from any other use. The user or operator bears the risk in this case.
This also applies to incorrect assembly, use and maintenance.
NOTE
Due to its gravity, the condensate flows down to the deepest point, i.e. into the
condensate trap housing. A rising condensate level lifts the float and through the float
fork / rotary valve connection the flow cross-section is opened. When the condensate
level drops, the control closes.

2. Check of the condensate trap
2.1 Malfunctions arise as condensate backup in the condensate system.

Condensate backup can be identified by means of the check valve (4):
2.2 Loosen the check valve (4) by only a quarter turn while ensuring that no condensate escapes. If
condensate escapes, it has to be assumed that the float (9) is jammed. In this case the following
maintenance has to be carried out.

M20/M25/M32/M43
3. Maintenance of the condensate trap 10
CAUTION
The condensate trap must be depressurized!
3.1 The condensate trap must be depressurized. Close the shut-off valve before and (if provided)
after the condensate trap.
3.2 Release any residual pressure in the housing by loosening (4) by only a quarter turn.
3.3 By removing the screw plug (6) drain condensate from the condensate trap.
3.4 Loosen flange connections and carefully lift the condensate trap out of the pipeline.
3.5 By turning and jerky shaking of the trap the float can most often be made movable again. If this
procedure should be successful, a clear
click can be heard.
3.6 If no click is heard, the trap must be opened:
3.7 Loosen hexagon nuts (5) evenly crosswise. Remove cover (1).
3.8 Carefully clean the trap housing so as to make the float movable again.
3.9 Check the housing gasket (2) and replace it if required.
3.10 Put in place the housing cover (1).
3.11 Tighten the housing screws (5) evenly crosswise with a torque of 60 Nm.
3.12 Tighten the screw plug (6) with a torque of 173 Nm.
3.13 Tighten the check valve (4) with a torque of 50 Nm.
4. Care of the condensate trap
4.1 In the case of a great risk of dirt accumulation, the housing should be rinsed thoroughly from
time to time in depressurized condition. If necessary, the float control (7) should also be
checked. Dirt that has collected in the housing can be removed after taking off the screw plug
(6).The float control (7) usually does not require special care.

DANGER
Risk of injury caused by hydraulic oil leaking under high pressure
For loosening and fixing of the round nuts the studs are stretched by means of
high hydraulic pressure.
If leaks occur due to misuse or improper handling, oil leaking under pressure may
cause severe injuries.
- It is absolutely required to wear personal protective equipment (especially safety
glasses).
- Do not place any parts of the body above the pressurized devices.
- Establish or loosen connections only in depressurized condition.
- In case of injuries immediately see a doctor!
CAUTION
Property damage due to misuse or improper handling.
The use of unsuitable or worn parts and inappropriate application may cause property
damage!
- High-pressure hoses and their protective jackets must not show any damage.
- Do not let any objects fall onto the high-pressure hoses and do not step on hoses
lying on the floor.
- Do not bend the high-pressure hoses sharply.
Observe the following minimum bending radii:
-- up to 2000 bar (29008 psi) at least 150 mm.
-- above 2000 bar (29008 psi) at least 250 mm.
- Replace high-pressure hoses latest after 6 years, even if they do not yet show
any damage.
- Do not subject the hose couplings to any bending stress.

1. Preparatory work for loosening or

fixing of round nuts
1.1 Put in place support ring

(Fig. 1/1) over the
round nut (Fig. 1/4).
1.2 Put the hydraulic jack

(Fig. 1/2) onto the
support ring.
1.3 Insert threaded sleeve

(Fig. 1/3) through hydraulic jack
and support ring.

1.4 Screw threaded sleeve (Fig. 2/3) finger 1
tight onto the stud by means of assembly 3
pins (Fig. 2/1) until it reaches end-stop
position.
1.5 Check the round nut holes for accessibility.

It must be easily possible to insert pin
(Fig. 3/2) through the slots in the support
ring (Fig. 3/1) into the holes of the round
nut.
If necessary, align support ring (Fig. 3/1)
accordingly.
2
1.6 Connect high-pressure pump (Fig. 4/1)

with high-pressure hose(s) to the hydraulic
jack(s). 2
1.7 When using several hydraulic jacks at the

same time an appropriate distributor 3 1
(Fig. 4/2) is to be used.
1.8 Open valve (Fig. 4/3) of the high-pressure

pump.
en / 15.01.2014 IB028502 3/15

M25-VM46DF
13
CAUTION
Leaks and stretching errors may occur
Before using a stretching device the basic position of the hydraulic jack must be
established. Steps 1.1 to 1.9.
If this basic position is not ensured, there is still oil from a previous application in the
pressure chamber of the cylinder. This will increase the prelift of the piston in
the hydraulic jack with each use, which will cause leaks and stretching errors.
If several hydraulic jacks are to be pressurized simultaneously, e.g. when
disassembling or assembling cylinder head studs, the jacks must be connected to
the high-pressure pump one after the other and set to basic position. Only after this
procedure the hydraulic jacks are to be connected among each other. Otherwise,
there is a risk of the excess oil not being pressed back into the high-pressure pump
but into another hydraulic jack.
NOTE
As the hydraulic connection of a hydraulic jack is provided with a non-return valve, the
oil can only be removed from the pressure chamber when the high-pressure hose is
connected and the valve on the high-pressure pump is open.
1.9 Put in place a suitable lever between

assembly pins (Fig. 5/1) and turn threaded
sleeve (Fig. 5/3) onto the stud until it
reaches end-stop position.
The ring surface of the threaded sleeve

must be flush with the bottom surface of
the hydraulic jack or slightly below bottom
surface level. 1

2. Loosening of round nuts 13

2.1 Turn back threaded sleeve (Fig. 6/3) by
the value indicated in Table A (see
Appendix) for the respective position or
adjust the distance by means of a feeler 3
gauge.
DANGER
Danger to life due to parts breaking off!
Due to improper handling and / or material failure pressurized components or parts of
components may break off, strongly accelerate and cause severe injuries or even
death!
- Do not bend over pressurized devices.
- During pressure build-up and 15 seconds thereafter a minimum safety distance of
3 m is to be maintained.
- The pressure indicated in Table B (see Appendix) "Stretching Pressure /
Prestretching Pressure" for the respective position must not be exceeded.
2.2 Close the valve on the high-pressure pump.
2.3 Actuate the high-pressure pump and for the time being build up a pressure of 50 - 100 bar
(725 psi - 1450 psi).

2.6 Only after at least 15 seconds loosen the 13

round nuts through the slot in the support
ring by means of pin (Fig. 7/1).
2.7 Loosen the round nut with the pin until the
pin cannot be inserted any more into the
holes of the round nut.
If, in doing so, the round nut reaches the
upper end-stop position, turn it back by 3 1
holes.
CAUTION
Stretching of the screw threads
If loosening of the round nuts is not possible under the specified pressure, the
pressure may be increased by max. 50 bar (725 psi).
If the pressure is increased further, there is a risk of overstretching the stud threads,
which would require the studs to be replaced.
2.8 Slowly open the valve on the high-pressure pump.
2.9 Wait until the pressure has fully dropped.
2.10 It must still be possible to turn the round nuts easily by means of the pin (Fig. 7/1). If necessary,
build up pressure again and turn the round nuts back by further holes, see steps 2.2 and 2.5 to
2.9.
CAUTION
Risk of injury caused by hydraulic oil leaking under high pressure
If connections of high-pressure hoses under pressure are loosened, hydraulic oil may
leak under high pressure. Oil leaking under pressure may cause severe injuries.
- It is absolutely required to wear personal protective equipment (especially safety
glasses).
- Observe the pressure gauge and wait until the pressure has fully dropped.
- Establish or loosen hydraulic connections only in depressurized condition.
CAUTION
Establish the basic position of the stretching device.
Before dismounting the hydraulic stretching devices and placing them into the storage
box the basic position of the stretching devices has to be established,
see steps 1.1 to 1.9.

DANGER
Danger to life due to parts breaking off!
Due to improper handling and / or material failure pressurized components or parts of
components may break off, strongly accelerate and cause severe injuries or even
death!
- Do not bend over pressurized devices.
- During pressure build-up and 15 seconds thereafter a minimum safety distance of
3 m is to be maintained.
- The pressure indicated in Table B (see Appendix) "Stretching Pressure /
Prestretching Pressure" for the respective position must not be exceeded.
3.2 Carry out steps 1.1 to 1.9.
3.3 Close the valve on the high-pressure pump.
3.4 Actuate the high-pressure pump and for the time being build up a pressure of 50 - 100 bar
(725 psi - 1450 psi).
3.5 Check all connections of the high-pressure hoses for complete locking.
3.6 Open the valve on the high-pressure pump and wait until pressure has fully dropped.

CAUTION
Risk of tightening errors due to dropping pressure.
When building up the pressure, pause at intervals and observe the pressure gauge.
The pressure that is then reached must remain constant when the high-pressure
pump is not actuated. If the pressure drops, this will cause tightening errors.
If necessary, check the lockings of the connections of the high-pressure hoses and
the high-pressure pump.
3.7 Close the valve on the high-pressure pump and build up the stretching pressure indicated in
Table B (see Appendix) for the respective position.
3.8 After about 15 seconds (after pressure

build-up) firmly tighten the round nut
through the slot in the support ring with the
pin (Fig. 10/1) and, in doing so, make sure
there is ease of movement.
1
3.9 By slowly opening the valve on the high-
pressure pump decrease the pressure by
50 bar (725 psi).
Loosening of the round nut by means of
the pin must not be possible any more.
3.10 Slowly open the valve on the high-

pressure pump and wait until the pressure
has fully dropped.
CAUTION
Establish the basic position of the stretching device.
Before dismounting the hydraulic stretching devices and placing them into the storage
box the basic position of the stretching devices has to be established,
see steps 1.1 to 1.9.
CAUTION
Damage and malfunctions due to contamination
Contamination on connections of hydraulic components causes leaks due to
increased wear. There may occur problems when establishing and loosening
connections and malfunctions in the hydraulic system.
Hydraulic connections are to be plugged upon disassembly of the components.

5. Appendix (tables) 13
Table A: Adjusting Values for Threaded Sleeve
NOTE
For loosening a round nut the threaded sleeve that was fastened finger tight has to
be turned back by a distance specific to the respective case of application. To avoid
inaccuracies this distance is mostly adjusted by means of a feeler gauge (Fig. 12/1)
between support ring and contact surface. In some cases of application, however,
experience has shown that it is more practical to turn back the threaded sleeve (Fig.
12/2) by a certain number of turns (see Table A).
This prevents jamming of the components of the hydraulic stretching device on the
stud after decreasing the stretching pressure.
