Inspection

Inspection is carried out with damper in situ.

● Check air slits (if provided) in damper for cleanliness and free air-passage. If necessary, clear slits with

compressed air.

● Where possible, check damper elements for freedom from cracks and for firm connection with the

vulcanized-on steel plates. If necessary, recondition damper.

● Check bolts of joints (where accessible) for “hand-tight” seating (torque ca. 30 Nm), without holding the

nuts. Any signs of friction indicate loose bolts. If loose bolted joints are found, the damper has to be

reconditioned.

Reconditioning

The damper must be reconditioned not later than 10 years after date of engine commissioning, irrespective

of the hours run. Such reconditioning is required too, if damage or any defects have been ascertained during

the inspection.

We recommend that reconditioning be entrusted to a DEUTZ-Service workshop.

The torsional vibration occurring in the critical

speed range of the engine is absorbed by two

or four rubber damping elements secured

between fly ring and the plates attached to

the crankshaft flange.

Keep fuel and lube oil away from rubber ele-

ments!
