Safety instruction 2. Instructions for preventing damage to the engine and premature wear D Prior to repairing the engine, clean it thoroughly. Ensure that dirt, sand or foreign matter will not get into the engine during repair work. D In the event of operational faults immediately identy the cause and rectify to prevent more serious dam- age. D Always use genuine MAN parts only. Installation of ”equally” good parts from other suppliers may cause severe damage for which the workshop carrying out the work is responsible. D Never operate the engine while it is dry, i.e. without lubricant or coolant. Use a suitable label to mark engines not ready for operation.
D Only use operating materials (fuel, engine oil, antifreeze and anticorrosion agents) approved by MAN. Ensure that everything is kept clean. Diesel fuel must be free of water. D Do not fill up with engine oil above the max. notch on the dipstick. Do not exceed the engine’s maximum permissible operating inclination. Non−compliance with these instructions may cause severe engine damage. D Control and monitoring devices (charge check, oil pressure, coolant temperature) must work faultlessly. D Observe the instructions for operating the alternator; see chapter ”Commissioning and operation” in the Operator’s Manual. 3.
