Replacing components with emission labels Emission labels are attached to all MTU engines. These must remain on the engine throughout its op- erational life. Engines used exclusively in land-based, military applications other than by US government agencies are excepted from this proviso.
1.2 Personnel and organizational requirements Organizational measures of the user/manufacturer This manual must be issued to all personnel involved in operation, maintenance, repair or transporta- tion. Keep this manual handy in the vicinity of the product such that it is accessible to operating, mainte- nance, repair and transport personnel at all times.
Only set down engine on a firm, level surface. Make sure that the consistency and load-bearing capacity of the ground or support surface is adequate. Never set an engine down on the oil pan unless expressively authorized to do so by MTU on a case-to- case basis .
1.4 Safety regulations for startup and operation Safety requirements for startup Install the product correctly and carry out acceptance in accordance with the manufacturer's specifica- tions before putting the product into service. All necessary approvals must be granted by the relevant authorities and all requirements for initial startup must be fulfilled.
1.5 Safety regulations for maintenance and repair work Safety regulations prior to maintenance and repair work Have maintenance or repair work carried out by qualified and authorized personnel only. Allow the product to cool down to less than 50 °C (risk of explosion for oil vapors, fluids and lubricants, risk of burning).
