Carefully read the Operating Instructions before starting any work!
This is especially valid for the chapter on General Safety Instructions
and the safety instructions in each of the chapters.
2 General Safety Instructions
This chapter provides information on residual risks and hazards during proper use of the engine. The gen
erally valid safety instructions to be observed are listed here. They provide optimum protection for person
nel and for the safe and smooth operation of the engine.
In the following, specific, action and situation-related safety information is placed before the corresponding
step, or in the chapter described.
Failure to observe the Operating Instructions and Safety Instructions in this document can result in signific
ant hazards.
2.1 Intended Use
The engine is built exclusively for the driving of self-propelled machines.
Any other use is considered as "not intended".
MAN is not liable for any damage resulting from use that is not intended. The risk is entirely borne by the
operator.
Intended use also includes compliance with the prescribed operating, maintenance and repair work.
The engine may only be used, maintained and repaired by persons who are familiar with the engine and
have been informed of the hazards.
Unauthorised modifications to the engine shall void any liability for any resulting property damage and per
sonal injury.
Likewise, the manipulation of the injection and control system could affect the performance and emission
characteristics of the engine. Compliance with the statutory environmental requirements can therefore no
longer be guaranteed.
DANGER!

For this reason:
S Operate the engine only for its intended use.
S Use the engine outside of hazardous areas where there is a risk of explosion.
S Use the engine with an overspeed limiting device installed.

structions.
