necessary overhauling.

The procedures are divided into five categories:

Time-based condition checking marked with a C, under the heading Regular checks or Service
procedures interval, deal with the service condition of a number of engine
components, and form the basis for estimating whether further
overhauling is necessary. In a number of cases the condition
checking procedures refer to Volume I of the instruction book, in
which more detailed descriptions and working procedures can be
found.

Condition-based overhauling are marked with an O, under the heading Regular checks or
procedures Service interval. Under the heading Refer to (column P), a ref-
erence to additional information is stated.

This procedure number normally refers to one of the above condi-

tion checking procedures which form the basis of the overhaul.
For this reason, the intervals stated are for guidance only.

Time-based overhauling also marked with an O, under the headings Regular checks or
procedures Service interval or Based on observations, are the procedures
where an actual basis for estimation is lacking. It is recommend-
ed, therefore, to carry out these procedures at the overhauling
intervals stated as a basis.

The letters O or C in Based on observations (column B), in-

dicate that special service conditions may make checking or
overhauling necessary beyond the actual standard schedules
indicated.

 Checking and Maintenance Schedule,
9001 ME Engines MAN B&W

Initial checking procedures marked with a C, under the heading Check new/overhauled
parts after 500, 1000 and 1500 hours (column H), deal with
initial checks that must be carried out on a new engine, or when
parts have been replaced.

After the three initial checks have been completed, checks need
only be carried out as per heading Regular checks or Service
interval.

When using electronic maintenance planning systems, special

attention should be paid to all initial checking procedures, as
handling of such procedures often can not be done automatically.
Instead such procedures must be handled manually.

Initial adjustment procedures marked with an A, under the heading Check new/overhauled
parts after 500, 1000 and 1500 hours (column H), deal with ini-
tial adjustment that must be carried out on a new engine, or when
parts have been replaced.

After the three initial adjustments have been completed, adjust-

ments need only be carried out as per headings Regular checks
or Service interval.

When using electronic maintenance planning systems, special

attention should be paid to all initial adjustment procedures, as
handling of such procedures often can not be done automatically.
Instead such procedures must be handled manually.

NOTE!
Special attention should be paid to the chain tightener,
which must be adjusted three times (after 500, 1000 and
1500 hours of operation) on a new engine, or when chains
or chain wheels have been replaced.
