The OM 501 LA and OM 502 LA are the diesel engines that power many cranes and other heavy machines, and they run long hours under load. If you look after your own crane, this is the maintenance manual you pull out when the next scheduled service is coming up and you need to check the intervals. It's a care document, built for the person holding the wrench.
What this manual helps you do
- Plan each service by checking the maintenance schedule and its intervals.
- Check the maintenance categories so you know which work belongs to which service.
- Change engine oil and filters the way the maintenance work section lays out.
- Inspect the fuel system, cooling system and air intake and exhaust at the listed intervals.
- Record completed services in the confirmations section so you have a history on file.
Who this is for
If you're an owner-operator, this is your service routine on paper. You can see what's due, do the work yourself and sign it off. A workshop mechanic who services these engines for other people gets the same schedule to work from.
