Preface
1
This Repair Manual is designed to facilitate repair of the engines listed in line with accepted technical prin-
ciples.
In addition to this Repair Manual the following publications are available:
D Operating Instructions
D Fuels, Lubricants and Coolants for MAN Diesel Engines
D Spare-parts catalogue
D Service record book with maintenance plan
Note:
Only use fuel, coolants and lubricants in accordance with MAN’s regulations otherwise the
manufacturer’s warranty will not apply!
For basic information on the fuels see the publication “Fuels, Lubricants and Coolants for MAN
Diesel Engines”.
You can find the approved products in the internet under:
−http://www.mn.man.de/index/mn_eng/motor/serviceproducts.htm−
The pictures and associated descriptions show typical work that may not always be applicable to the en-
gine in hand, which nevertheless does not mean that they are not correct.
In such cases, the repair work is to be planned and carried out in a similar way.
It is compulsory that the engine be removed before performing any of the work describe in this Repair Man-
ual.
The expert knowledge necessary for handling Diesel engines was taken for granted when this publication
was compiled.
Any repair of components such as injection pump, alternator etc. ought to be left to our or the manufac-
turer’s service department.

Instructions
2
Important instructions which concern technical safety and protection of persons are emphasised as shown
below.
Danger:
This refers to working and operating procedures which must be complied with in order to rule out
the risk to persons.
Caution:
This refers to working and operating procedures which must be complied with in order to prevent
damage to or destruction of material.
Note:
Explanatory descriptions which help in understanding the relevant work or operating procedure to
be carried out.
Assembly of pipes
Danger:
No pipes may be bent.
Risk of breakage!
Fitting flat seals / gaskets
Flat seals / gaskets are often inserted with sealing agents or adhesives to make fitting them easier or to
achieve better sealing. Flat seals may slip in operation due to the “sewing-machine” effect, in particular if
they are used between parts with different rates of linear expansion under heat (e.g. aluminium and cast
iron), and leaks may then occur.
Example:
The cap of the front crankshaft seal. If a sealing agent or an adhesive is used here the flat seal will move
inwards in the course of time as a result of the different expansion rates of the materials. Oil will be lost, for
which the shaft seal may be thought to be responsible.
Flat seals / gaskets can be fitted properly only if the following points are observed:
D Use only genuine MAN seals / gaskets
D The sealing faces must be undamaged and clean
D Do not use any sealing agent or adhesive − as an aid to fitting the seals a little grease can be used if
necessary so that the seal will stick to the part to be fitted
D Tighten bolts evenly to the specified torque
Fitting round sealing rings
D Use only genuine MAN round sealing rings
D The sealing faces must be undamaged and clean
D Always wet round sealing rings with engine oil before fitting them

Engine type classification
5
All the engines dealt with here are related in terms of their design and make up a family.
The type classification, which is made up of a series of letters and numbers, reveals some of the features
of the engine in question provided the reader is familiar with the underlying nomenclature.
The system is explained below using the model type D 2848 LE 423 as an example:
D The “D” at the start of the type classification stands for “Diesel”
28 The numbers “28” indicates that the power plant in question has a bore of 128 mm
4 The “4” means 142 mm stroke
8 The “8” indicates that there are 8 cylinders. If there is a “0”, this is a 10-cylinder engine
L This letter stands for “charge-air cooling” (German: Ladeluftkühlung)
E The “E” stands for “fitted engine” (German: Einbaumotor) and is intended to distinguish MAN
vehicle engines
423 This is a factory-internal development number

Safety regulations

General notes
This summary is a compilation of the most important regulations. These are broken down into main sec-
tions which contain the information necessary for preventing injury to persons, damage to property and
pollution. Additional information can be found in the operating instructions of the engine.
Important:
Should an accident occur despite all precautionary measures, particularly one involving contact with corros-
ive acid, penetration of fuel under the skin, scalding by hot oil, antifreeze splashing into the eyes etc. you
must seek medical assistance immediately.
1. Regulations designed to prevent accidents with injury to persons
Checks, setting jobs and repair work must be carried out by authorised skilled personnel only.
D During installation work, switch off the battery master switch.
D When carrying out maintenance and repair work, ensure that the engine cannot be ac-
cidentally started from the bridge by unauthorised persons.
D The engine must be started and operated only by authorized personnel.
D When the engine is running, do not get too close to the rotating parts.
Wear close−fitting working clothes
D Do not touch hot engine with bare hands: Risk of burns.
D Keep area surrounding engine, ladders and stairways free of oil and grease. Accidents
caused by slipping can have serious consequences
D Only work with tools that are in perfect working order. Worn spanners/wrenches slip:
Danger of injury.
D Persons must not stand under an engine suspended on a crane hook. Keep lifting gear
in order.
D Open the coolant circuit only when the engine has cooled down. If opening the coolant
circuit while the engine is hot is unavoidable, observe the instructions in the chapter
”Maintenance and care” in the Operator’s Manual.
D Neither tighten up nor open pipes and hoses (lube oil circuit, coolant circuit and any
additional hydraulic oil circuit) during the operation. The fluids which flow out can cause
injury.

Safety regulations
7
D When working on the electrical system, first disconnect the earth cable of the battery
and reconnect this last to prevent short circuits.
D Comply with the manufacturer’s instructions when handling batteries.
Caution:
Accumulator acid is toxic and caustic. Battery gases are explosive.
D When performing welding work, observe the “Notes for welders”.
2. Regulations designed to prevent damage to engine and premature wear
D Prior to repairing the engine, clean it thoroughly. Ensure that dirt, sand or foreign matter will
not get into the engine during repair work.
D If engine operation is disrupted, immediately determine the cause and have it remedied to prevent addi-
tional damage.
D Always use genuine MAN parts only. Installation of ”equally” good parts from other suppliers may cause
severe damage for which the workshop carrying out the work is responsible.
D Never allow the engine to run dry, i.e. without lubricant or coolant.
Appropriate notices must be attached to engines that are not ready for operation.
D Today modern components of diesel injection consist of high−precision parts which are exposed to ex-
treme stresses. The high−precision technology requires the utmost cleanliness during all work on the
fuel system.
Even a particle of dirt over 0.2 mm can lead to the failure of components.
D Use only MAN−approved service products (fuel, engine oil, anti−freeze and anti−corrosion agent). Pay
attention to cleanliness. Diesel fuel must be free of water.
D Do not add so much engine oil that the oil level rises above the max. marking on the dipstick.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible tilt of the engine.
Serious damage to the engine may result if these instructions are not adhered to.
D Control and monitoring devices (charge control, oil pressure, coolant temperature) must be in perfect
working order.
D Observe the instructions for operating the alternator; see chapter ”Maintenance and care” in the Oper-
ator’s Manual.

Safety regulations

3. Regulations designed to prevent pollution
Engine oil and filter elements / cartridges, fuel / fuel filter
D Hand old oil over to old oil disposal companies only.
D Take strict precautions to ensure that no oil or Diesel fuel gets into the drains or the ground.
Caution:
Risk of contamination of potable water.
D Filter elements are classed as dangerous waste and must be treated as such.
Coolants
D Treat undiluted anti−corrosion agent and / or anti−freeze as dangerous waste.
D The regulations of the respective local authorities must be observed when used coolant is disposed of.
4.Notes on safety in handling used engine oil ∗
Prolonged or repeated contact between the skin and any kind of engine oil decreases the skin. Drying, ir-
ritation or inflammation of the skin may therefore occur. Used engine oil also contains dangerous sub-
stances which have caused skin cancer in animal experiments. If the basic rules of hygiene and health and
safety at work are observed, health risks are not to the expected as a result of handling used engine oil.
Health precautions:
D Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact with used engine oil.
D Protect your skin by means of suitable agents (creams etc.) or wear protective gloves.
D Clean skin which has been in contact with engine oil.
− Wash thoroughly with soap and water. A nailbrush is an effective aid.
− Certain products make it easier to clean your hands.
− Do not use petrol, Diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or solvents as washing agents.
D After washing apply a fatty skin cream to the skin.
D Change oil-soaked clothing and shoes.
D Do not put oily rags into your pockets.
Ensure that used engine oil is disposed of in the appropriate manner.
− Engine oil can endanger the water supply −
For this reason do not let engine oil get into the ground, waterways, the drains or the sewers. Violations are
punishable.
Collect and dispose of used engine oil carefully. For information on collection points please contact the
seller, the supplier or the local authorities.
