T SERIES ENGINES OPERATORS' HANDBOOK
INTRODUCTION
This handbook explains the operation
and routine maintenance of Lister
Petter Power Systems T series (TR)
air cooled diesel engines.
If your engine is part of a Lister Petter
Power Systems generating set, there
is a separate operators' handbook for
the genset, to explain such features as
the control module.
ENGINE IDENTIFICATION
To identify which model of Lister Petter
Power Systems T-Series diesel engine
you are using refer to the engine serial
number, which is stamped on a plate
attached to the engine. It identies the
type and build of the engine (see below)
to enable the correct maintenance
procedures to be carried out. Here is
a sample serial number:
07 001234 TR3 A 01
07 Year code (07 = 2007)
001234 Unique engine number
TR3 Engine series
A Anti clockwise rotation
01 Build number
The illustrations on page 4 show
features of the different engine models.
When following the instructions in this
handbook you will need to be familiar
with the parts labelled. (See also table
below.)
USING THIS HANDBOOK
Operating or servicing a diesel engine
is potentially dangerous. You must not
attempt it unless you have the necessary
knowledge and experience.
Read each section thoroughly
and carefully, taking note of the all
information and instructions given. This
is for your safety and to ensure the
correct maintenance of your engine.
For specific aspects of operation
and maintenance, use the table of
contents or the index to nd the section
you need. Where instructions are
numbered in sequence, they must be
followed in that order. This applies in
particular to maintenance and repair
procedures (Sections 5 and 6).
In cases of difculty, or to obtain spare
parts, please consult your local Lister
Petter Power Systems distributor or
dealer.
RUNNING-IN
To assist running-in all engines are
despatched with an initial ll lubricating
oil which must be changed after 100
hours. Your engine does not require
gradual light-load running-in. Extended
light-load running should be avoided,
as this could damage the cylinder bore
and allow lubricating oil to enter the
exhaust system.

T SERIES ENGINES OPERATORS' HANDBOOK
Carefully read and follow all safety
information and instructions in this
manual.
Observe the safety and informative
symbols on your engine and
equipment.
Emergency Precautions
• Be prepared with suitable equipment
and knowledge in case a re starts.
• Identify a location from which calls
to the emergency services can be
made if necessary.
• Ensure a third party knows where
you are working and when you leave
the working area.
General Precautions
• Ensure the engine is securely
mounted.
• Ensure that there is a generous
supply of cooling and combustion air
available.
• Keep the engine and surrounding
area clean.
• Some accessories may require
guards which must be supplied and
tted by the purchaser. Keep all safety
guards in position.
• Do not make any unauthorised
modications as these may affect the
safe operation of the engine and put
the operator at risk.
1.2 PERSONAL SAFETY
• Wear personal protective clothing
and safety equipment appropriate to
the work being done.
• Keep clear of moving parts at all
times.
WARNING
KEEP THE BODY AND CLOTHING
CLEAR OF MOVING OR HOT PARTS
ATALLTIMES. CONTACTOFMOVING
PARTS WITH UNPROTECTED SKIN
CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
ENTANGLEMENT WITH ROTATING
EQUIPMENT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH.
• Tie long hair close to your head.
• Wear close-tting clothing.
• Do not wear a necktie, scarf, loose
clothing or necklace when working
close to a running engine.
• Where possible, remove rings and
other jewellery to prevent entanglement
in moving parts. These items could also
cause a short circuit if any part of the
electrical system is being worked on.
WARNING
Protect yourself against prolonged
exposure to loud noise. Failure to do
so can cause impairment, or loss,
of hearing.
• Wear suitable ear protection against
loud noise.
• To avoid loss of concentration, do
not use music or radio headphones
while operating an engine.
• When undertaking maintenance, do
not work under any plant that is held
only by overhead lifting equipment.
• Where appropriate, make sure that
guards are properly tted.
1.3 PRECAUTIONS WITH
CHEMICALS
Protect yourself from exposure to
hazardous chemicals at all times,
as this can cause serious injury.
Potentially hazardous chemicals
include lubricants, fuel, battery acid,
paint and adhesives.

T SERIES ENGINES OPERATORS' HANDBOOK
Manufacturers' safety data sheets
will provide specific details of the
physical and health hazards, safety
and emergency procedures and
any necessary personal protection
equipment required while working with
hazardous materials.
• Handle uids with care at all times.
• Rectify any fuel or oil leak as soon
as is practicable and clean up any
spillages when they occur.
• Remove any build-up of grease, oil
or debris.
• If any uid comes into contact with
the skin, clean off immediately (in the
case of lubricating oil, clean off as soon
as is practicable).
Fuel and High Pressure Fluids
• Store fuel and other flammable
liquids away from re hazards.
• Always stop the engine before
refuelling.
• Do not overll the fuel tank.
• When working with fuel do not
smoke or work near to heaters or other
re hazards.
• High pressure uids are extremely
hazardous. Never allow any part of the
body to come into contact with high-
pressure fuel oil, compressed air or
hydraulic oil, for example when testing
fuel injection equipment.
WARNING
D o n o t e x p o s e p r e s s u r i s e d
containers to heat, and do not
incinerate or puncture them.
WARNING
NEVER TOUCH OR INGEST HIGH-
PRESSURE FLU IDS SUCH AS
HYDRAULIC OIL, COMPRESSEDAIR
OR FUEL OIL. THIS COULD LEAD
TO SERIOUS INJURY, OR DEATH.
1.4 FUEL SYSTEM
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
NEVERALLOWANYUNPROTECTED
SKIN TO COME INTO CONTACT WITH
THE INJECTOR SPRAY AS FUEL
MAY ENTER THE BLOODSTREAM
WITH FATAL RESULTS.
WARNING
Never make unauthorised
adjustments to the fuel injection
pumps. This could be dangerous
and invalidates warranty claims.
• When priming or checking the fuel
injection pump timing, care must be
taken to wipe any spilled fuel from the
outside of the engine.
• Always t a new joint when a union
has been disturbed.
• Special care must be taken to see
that there is no leakage from the joints
of the fuel pipe connection to the pump.
• When tightening or loosening fuel
injection pump delivery connections
use two spanners to prevent unsealing
of fuel pump delivery valve holders.
• When retting the fuel pipe from the
pump to the injector, the connection to
the injector must be tightened before
the connection to the fuel pump. This
procedure will ensure that there is no
leakage from these joints.
• It is most important that all fuel
joints are tight and leak-proof.
• Always ll the fuel tank through
a ne strainer. It is best to do this at
the end of the engine work period so
that any sediment stirred up has time
to settle before the engine is used
again, and the risk of condensation
contaminating the fuel is minimised. If
using a can, avoid tipping out the last
few drops.
