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. Further
details are set out in the maintenance schedule.
Experience will show whether the intervals may be extended or need to be shortened.
Strict compliance with the below mentioned recommendations regarding safety
measures and maintenance work is mandatory; the recommendations are not
exhaustive.

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 given
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 surroundings
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 evidencing these
activities.
D Certain media, i.e. fuels etc., are highly inflammable, therefore all precautionary
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 escapes 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.
