4. Special safety measures
D Prior to turning the crankshaft with the turning gear, make sure and take notice:
1) that no person is inside the engine and no loose parts, tools or devices can get
jammed.
2) 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
anti-fall 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 0012−1 and 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 wooden
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!
Note: For further instructions see also Safety Precautions and Warnings
(General Information) 0210−1 in the Operating Manual.
5. Recommendations for performing work
D Pay attention to Utilization of Working Platform 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).
1) Tools and devices must be made ready prior to use, make sure they are in
perfect condition.
2) Calibrate gauge tools before using and at periodical intervals.
3) Check hydraulic tools periodically for tightness and perfect functioning.
4) Protect running faces and sealing faces of removed parts by suitable means to
