FOREWORD
This manual has been prepared to serve as a guide to personnel engaged in the
operation of E M D marine propulsion units with Model 645 or Model 710
engines. It is the intent of this manual that the information contained herein be
applicable to a complete unit consisting of the engine, with basic accessories
i n c l u d i n g a p n e u m a t i c r e v e r s e - r e d u c t i o n gear and p i l o t - h o u s e c o n t r o l
components which are supplied by the manufacturer and installed by the
customer.

This information was compiled for a typical marine propulsion unit with basic
e q u i p m e n t and f r e q u e n t l y requested extras. The e q u i p m e n t selected for
coverage was chosen as representative and does not imply that the equipment
is part of any specific purchase order. Wiring diagrams and assembly drawings
for specific units take precedence over information presented in this general
manual.

A d d i t i o n a l i n f o r m a t i o n on installation, a p p l i c a t i o n , m a i n t e n a n c e , field
c o n n e c t i o n s , and electrical circuits m a y be f o u n d in the M a i n t e n a n c e

Specifications, and the schematic diagrams. For specific equipment, it is
advised that due consideration be given to manufacturer's pamphlets and
bulletins.

NOTE
These instructions do not purport to cover all details
or variations in equipment nor to provide for every
possible contingency to be met in connection with
installation, operation, or m a i n t e n a n c e . S h o u l d
further information be desired or should particular
problems arise which are not covered sufficiently for
the p u r c h a s e r ' s p u r p o s e s , the m a t t e r s h o u l d be

The single unit pump, Fig. 4-2, is mounted on and
directly driven by the l u b r i c a t i n g oil s c a v e n g i n g
pump. It is an "internal" gear pump. Fuel is drawn
into the inlet portion, Fig. 4-3, to fill space created
by the gear teeth coming out of the mesh. The fuel is
then trapped in the space between the gear teeth and
carried to the outlet side of the pump. There the
gears mesh, which forces the fuel from between the
gear teeth and flow through the outlet. Refer to the

replacement without stopping the engine. The inlet

The flow of fuel through the filter is directed and


regulated by the position of the control valve. When
the control valve lever is set at the center or "BOTH"
position, both filters are being used. When it is
necessary to change filters, the flow of fuel can be
directed through one filter while changing the other
one. To do this, the control valve lever is moved to
the "L" (left) or "R" (right) position. When the
control valve lever is in the "R" position, only the
right filter is in use, and the left can be removed. The
reverse is true when the control valve lever is in the
"L" position.

LUBRICATING OIL LEVEL


Engine oil level should be checked with the engine
hot and running at idle speed. A dipstick, Fig. 5-4
extends from the side of the oil pan into the oil pan
sump. The dipstick should show a level between the
L O W and F U L L marks. The oil level with the
engine stopped should be above the F U L L mark.

DRAINING LUBRICATING OIL


T o drain the lubricating oil, it is first necessary to
open both valves located under the filler cover of the
strainer housing, Fig. 5-5. The front valve drains the
oil from the lube oil filter housing into the engine
sump and the rear valve drains the oil from the
22847 strainer housing into the engine sump.

DESCRIPTION

The c r a n k c a s e pressure detector, Fig. 7-2, is a
compact device for detecting a positive, rather than Fig.7-2- Crankcase Pressure Detector Assembly

134A587 7-1
Section 7

The reset stem is held in a latched position until a


positive pressure builds up in the crankcase. This
pressure is applied to a diagram which, in moving,
releases the reset stem. Outward movement of the
stem causes a switch lever to close the contacts in the
switch, which shuts down the engine and activates
the alarm system.

WARNING
Following an engine shutdown due to activation
of the crankcase pressure detector, do NOT
open any handhole or top deck covers to make
an inspection until the engine has been stopped
and allowed to cool off for at least two hours.
Do NOT attempt to restart the engine until the
cause of the trip has been d e t e r m i n e d and
corrected.

The action of the pressure detector indicates


the possibility of a condition within the engine,
such as an overheated bearing, that may ignite

LUBE OIL PRESSURE


SWITCH
The lube oil pressure switch OPS, Fig. 7-12, is
connected directly to the engine lube oil system. The
purpose of this switch is to prevent an inadvertent
starting attempt while the engine is already running.
The switch disconnects the starting system when
lube oil pressure exceeds 145 k P a
(21 psi), indicating the engine is running. When lube
oil pressure drops below 117 k P a (17 psi) the
starting system can then be operated.

BLOWERS

It is recommended that blowers be inspected as


specified in the Scheduled Maintenance Program.

If blower bearings become worn enough to cause


rotor interference, aluminum dust will appear in the
blower support housing and in the air box. A blower
in this condition should be replaced at once.

A leak at the b l o w e r oil seals will result in an


excessive amount of oil running down the blower
25296 support and into the air box, and excessive oil on
rotors and end plates. A leaking oil seal condition

ENGINE ALARM CABINET


An engine alarm cabinet, Fig. 9-10, is supplied with
units provided with accessories as loose items. This
cabinet will contain the relays and alarm indicators
to signal engine or system malfunctions.

The cabinet is of marine drip-proof construction


with a hinged door for access to equipment mounted
inside. It is designed to facilitate easy mounting and
c o n n e c t i o n by the s h i p b u i l d e r . It also contains
terminal board points and circuit logic to connect
and o p e r a t e r e m o t e a l a r m i n d i c a t o r s as well as

of high crankcase pressure or low lube oil pressure.
C o n t a c t o r s r e q u i r e d for v a r i o u s o t h e r alarm
functions are furnished separately for application in
the alarm circuits by the shipbuilder.

This cabinet uses the same annunciator relay panel


as the engine control cabinet, with the capability to
o p e r a t e up to twelve w a r n i n g lights using t h e
annunciator system switches and relays previously
described in this section. In addition, switches are
