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.

maximum permissible operating inclination.
Non–compliance with these instructions may cause severe engine damage.

D Observe the instructions for operating the alternator; see chapter ”Commissioning and operation” in the
Operator’s Manual.
