Remark

The fuel pump control can only be correctly adjusted, provided the regulating linkage bores are not worn! Before starting preliminary measures to carry out checking and adjusting work on the fuel injection pumps, the engine must be changed over to diesel oil before shutting it down!

A) Directions and permissible deviations The correct adjustment of the fuel injection pump control is extremely important. Changes to the effective plunger (delivery) strokes may only be attempted when, on the occasion of checks, inadmissible deviations from the recorded data of the setting table are established. The setting table which will be often mentioned in this description is handed over to the customer together with the shop trial documents.

Adjusting and Checking of the Control with Load-dependent V.I.T. (Variable Injection Timing)

a)

Replacement of parts:

When parts of the fuel injection pumps (f.i. pumps for short) are replaced which influence the fuel injection control in any way then the f.i. pump controls must be checked and if necessary re-adjusted in compliance with the values of the setting table. b) Cut-out checks: In order to ensure that the engine can be shut-down at any time and can never overspeed, the various cut-out checks must be carried out after the fuel injection pumps have been newly adjusted (see section F). c) Adjusting data in the setting table: The decisive adjusting data of the f.i. pumps and fuel cams is established for a specified load indicator position and entered in the fuel pump setting table. These are: S Idle stroke, begin of injection, total stroke, end of injection. S The effective plunger stroke is arrived at by subtraction of idle stroke from total stroke. d) Effective plunger (delivery) stroke in mm: The effective plunger stroke is adjusted by modifying the length of the regulating tappet for the suction and spill valves. In this manner shortening the regulating tappet produces an increase in the effective plunger stroke, and lengthening the regulating tappet produces a reduction in the effective plunger stroke.

Attention

Adjusting the regulating tappet during operation is forbidden!

Equal effective plunger strokes on all f.i. pumps are necessary to obtain balanced power outputs on all the cylinders. For this reason the measured values of the individual f.i. pumps have to be compared with each other. The maximum admissible deviation between the biggest and the smallest effective plunger stroke on individual cylinders is 0.20 mm, and the deviation of the effective plunger stroke from the values in the setting table should not exceed 0.10 mm. e) Begin of injection: The begin of injection (( T.D.C.) of a fuel injection pump may only be altered by turning the fuel cams and not by re-adjusting the regulating tappet of the suction valve. The deviation from the setting table shall not exceed 0.3_. f) Equalizing the maximum cylinder (firing) pressures: The equalizing of the maximum cylinder pressures may only be brought about by turning the fuel cam and not by changing the lengths of the regulating tappets of suction and spill valves (on condition that the compression pressures are equal). Directions for the turning of fuel cams are given in group 42033. g) Spacers for fuel delivery reduction: While adjusting and checking the f.i. pumps no spacers may be inserted for delivery reduction. Directions to this effect are given under group 55121 in the Operating Manual. B) 1. 2. 3. 4. Preparations (see also group 40032 of the Operating Manual) Close shut-off valve for starting air with the handwheel to position CLOSED (closed by hand). Start lubricating oil pumps for bearings and crossheads and set pressures for normal operation. Disengage the turning gear, bring reversing lever on the local manoeuvring stand to AHEAD (RUN AHEAD), and stop lever 5.07 to RUN. All pressure indicators (end position indication) of the valve groups D , located under the housings for the fuel injection pumps and actuator pumps, must be actuated. Check whether the reversing valve 5.02 is also in position AHEAD (see Engine Control Diagram sheet 40032 in the Operating Manual) and that its position indicator is not protruding. Engage turning gear.

Drain the fuel injection pump block 19. Thereby proceed as follows: Shut off the fuel feed pumps. Close the corresponding shut-off valves 55(a) in the fuel channel 56, and loosen their vent screws 58 by several turns. Loosen carefully the drain screw 18a marked with red colour (Fig. A and H) by several turns in the fuel injection pump block 19 on the corresponding spill valve side which points away from the engine (possibility of hot fuel!). The screw plugs 18 and 21 (Fig. A and H) are secured with LOCTITE No. 243 and should not be loosened for draining the fuel injection pump block. Danger of accident! Always loosen first the vent screws 58, prior to loosening the corresponding drain screw 18a.

7. 8. Remove all covers 9, valve housings 33 and the corresponding internal parts (Fig. G and H). Wash suction and spill valves as well as their valve seats with clean diesel oil. Check that the valves slide easily in their bodys and that the valve seats are undamaged. If necessary recondition the seat faces by careful grinding-in or replace the valves. Refit suction and spill valves (without their springs), apply MOLYKOTE G to the pressure bushs 6, and tighten these to a tightening angle of 25 (160 Nm) by means of the socket wrench insert 94571 and a torque wrench. Check whether the spacers 39 and 40 of the dial gauge holders slide well and the dial gauge functions properly. If so, mount the dial gauge holders and screw them tight (see Fig. F1 and F2).

9.

10. Draw fuel lever 3.12 out of position REMOTE CONTROL and engage it with the lever to the regulating linkage 54 (Fig. R). This move vents the air cylinder 25 (see also group 40032 of the Operating Manual). Set fuel lever together with lever 54 to position 8. 11. Close shut-off valves 23 in the console to the control air supply. Open and actuate both vents 24 to drain the air bottles till they are without any air pressure (see Fig. B). 12. Distance sleeve 47 must be fitted between the lever 48 and strap of support 49 as shown in Fig. C1. By this, the eccentric shafts 31 for the suction valves are locked i.e. the V.I.T. indicator 26 is forced to be in position 0. If necessary move the lever 48 correspondingly by means of the setting screws 50 and 51 in order to facilitate the fitting of the distance sleeve 47. 13. The V.I.T. indicator 26 must point to zero (Fig. C).

Remark

After completing the checking, the spacer sleeve 47 must again be disconnected, and for storing be mounted as shown in Fig. C. Turn back to the original position and lock the setting screws 50 and 51 if they have been adjusted. The joints of the regulating linkage between the governor and the f.i. pumps are equipped with grease nipples. They must be lubricated weekly with MOLYKOTE paste G by a grease gun which is supplied with the tools. Tighten the drain screws 18a. Tighten the vent screws 58 and open the shut-off valves 55(a) in the fuel channel.

Cut-out checks

The cut-out checks of the f.i. pumps are of major importance and must therefore be carried out after every re-adjusting of the f.i. pumps. We further recommend that these checks also be made after every major overhaul of the f.i. pumps. Thereby the following checks must be carried out:

1.

Checking the fuel cut-out with the fuel lever 3.12:


This check has to be performed best subsequently to the adjustment and checking of the fuel injection pump timing, whereby proceeding as follows:

D D D

Turn the engine AHEAD till the dial gauge above the suction valve shows 0.02 mm, i.e. begin of injection (Fig. L). Set the fuel lever 3.12 together with the lever to the regulating linkage 54 to position zero (Fig. R). Check the stroke on the dial gauge above the spill valve. (This amount must be compared with the value quoted in the fuel pump setting table; only a little discrepancy is allowed and it should be never less than 0.8 mm.) Check whether the zero positions on the load indicator 29 and the setting shield 28 of the f.i. pumps coincide (Fig. R).

Checking the manual cut-out on the f.i. pump:


Cut out the drive of the fuel injection pump (see Operating Manual group 55122). There must be a visible clearance of about 2 mm between the roller and the fuel cam peak after cutting off.

~2 mm

3.

Checking the safety cut-out device:

The instructions in the Operating Manual group 40031 must be strictly followed. As the suction valve tappets are suddenly lifted with a jerk during this test, the suction valve units should be completely installed or at least secured by means of a cover.

G) Installing the valves after a check The following points must be observed when fitting the valves: D D All the valves and springs must be dipped in clean diesel oil before fitting them. If the pressure bushes 6 and 7 were once more removed after the resetting, their threads and seating surfaces must also be coated with MOLYKOTE paste G; then tighten the pressure bushes to an angle of 25 [160 Nm] (see Fig. H). During the assembly, tighten the screws 15 carefully crosswise and in small steps with 60 Nm. Use MOLYKOTE paste G as lubricant (see Fig. H).

H) Checking of stagnation pressure control valve During a check-up on the fuel injection pumps, at the same time also the stagnation pressure control valves (Fig. T) are to be removed, cleaned and examined. Slight damage to the seating surface of the valve body 34 and of the valve housing 33 can be remedied by lapping-in with fine lapping paste. The parts of the stagnation pressure control valves may not be interchanged. The valve stroke X1 must be checked and if necessary readjusted, if the valve body 34, the seating surface A (Fig. T) on the fuel injection pump block 19 or on the valve housing 33 have been remachined or lapped in.
