4. Special safety measures
D Prior to turning the crankshaft with the turning gear, make sure that no person
is inside the engine and no loose parts, tools or devices can get jammed. Also
bear in mind that the coupled propeller turns too (danger in surroundings).
D At all times when somebody is inside the engine casing another person must
stand by in order that he can give the necessary aid if something unexpected
happens to the person inside the engine. The person who is inside the engine
casing must be equipped with all safety gears which are required to prevent
suffocation within the limited space and atmospheric conditions. Moreover an
antifall guard must be carried at dangerous places!
D The allowed load capacity of the engine room crane, the lifting tools, ropes
and chains must be sufficient for the parts to be lifted (see 0360−1).
Pay also attention to the weight distribution and attachment of the lifting tackle
in order that the part which must be lifted cannot tip over or crash down!
D Sharp edges, mating faces etc. as well as ropes are to be protected by wood-
en pieces, leather or special edge guards which are placed between the part
and the rope or chain.
D Always use gloves, a face shield and wear safety goggles when working with
hydraulic tools.
D For your own safety keep away from under hanging loads, never undersling
hanging parts with your fingers or hands and never embrace lifting ropes with
your hands.
D Removed parts must be secured in the engine room.
D For reasons of safety, openings resulting from removed engine components
must be closed!
Remark: For further instructions see also Safety Precautions and Warnings (Gen-
eral Information) 0210−1 in the Operating Manual.
5. Recommendations for performing work
D Pay attention to Utilization of Working Platform and Ladder 3301−1.
D Carry out all work carefully, observing utmost cleanliness!
D For maintenance work on the engine use the tools and devices intended for
the particular job, which, as a rule, are supplied with the engine (see tool list at
the end of this manual).
⇒ Tools and devices must be made ready prior to use, make sure they are in
perfect condition.
⇒ Calibrate gauge tools before using and at periodical intervals.
⇒ Check hydraulic tools periodically for tightness and perfect functioning.
⇒ Protect running faces and sealing faces of removed parts by suitable means
to prevent damages.
