Mitsubishi S12R-T2MPTK Operation & Maintenance Manual page 5

To avoid the potential hazard, accident prevention
activities must be planned methodically and con-
ducted continually by considering all aspects of
engine operation, maintenance, and inspection. All
involved personnel, including managers and supervi-
sors, should actively participate, recognize their
roles, and organize themselves and their work to
ensure a safe environment.
The foremost safety objective is to prevent accidents
which may result in injury or death, or equipment
damage.
Always observe laws and regulations of the local or
federal/national government.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engine & Turbocharger,
Ltd. cannot foresee all potential dangers of the
engine, potential dangers resulting from human error
and other causes, or a danger caused by a specific
environment in which the engine is used. Since there
are many actions that cannot be performed or must
not be performed, it is impossible to indicate every
caution in this manual or on warning labels. As such,
it is extremely important to follow instructions in this
manual and also to take general safety measures
when operating, maintain-ing, and inspecting the
engine.
When the engine is used by individuals whose native
language is not English, the engine owner must pro-
vide thorough safety guidance to the operators. Also,
attach the warning and operational decals that
describe the original warning label statements in the
native language of the operators.
The engine must be operated, maintained, and
inspected only by qualified persons who have thor-
ough knowledge of engines and their dangers, and
also have received risk avoidance training.
Important Information

any operation other than those described in this man-
ual, and do not use the engine for any unapproved
purpose.
When the ownership of the engine is transferred, be
sure to give this manual to the new owner although
the warranty does not transfer to the new owner.
Also, inform MHIET of the name and address of the
new owner of the engine.
