1. General
The maintenance work which is required to be carried out on the engine at regular
intervals is described in the Maintenance Schedule 0380−1 of this manual and is to
be understood as a general guide. The maintenance intervals are dependent on
the mode of operation, on the power as well as on the quality of the fuel used. Fur-
ther details are set out in the maintenance schedule.
Experience will show whether the intervals may be extended or need to be short-
ened.
Strict compliance with the below mentioned recommendations regarding
safety measures and maintenance work is mandatory; the recommenda-
tions are not exhaustive.
2. General safety precautions
D It is the operator’s duty to assure that all personnel is familiar with all safety,
health as well as environment protection rules released for operating and
maintaining a diesel engine plant. In particular greatest attention has to be giv-
en to the functioning, handling and dangers of cranes and lifting devices.
D The safety officer has to make sure that all precautions have been taken in
order to avoid dangerous situations.
D The operator has to nominate a person responsible for assigning work tasks
to every person who is participating in maintenance work.
D Make sure that fluids or gases draining or escaping cannot cause accidents,
fires or explosions during maintenance work. Keep the engine and the sur-
roundings clean. Cleanliness increases the quality of the work and helps to
prevent accidents.
Before beginning maintenance work on the diesel engine the corresponding
systems which are influenced by the maintenance work must be relieved of
pressure and/or drained if necessary. A protocol must be established evi-
dencing these activities.
D Certain media, i.e. fuels etc., are highly inflammable, therefore all precaution-
ary measures have to be taken that they do not come into in contact with fires,
glowing or hot parts. Smoking in the engine room is strictly forbidden.
Special attention has to be paid to the rules of fire fighting.
Make absolutely sure that in case of fire alarm no fire extinguishing gases can
be released into the engine room while people are still inside. Emergency es-
capes are to be marked and personnel is to be instructed of what to do in case
of fire.
D Oils and other media can cause slippery surfaces. In order to avoid injury all
surfaces which can be stepped on must be kept clean and dry.
Attention! Do not use water or any cleaning fluid to clean the WECS electronic
components and control boxes on the engine as well as on the rail unit. Damage
can occur if water goes into these electronic components or control boxes.
