1.2 Personnel and organizational requirements Organizational measures of the operator 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.
Set the engine down on a firm, level surface only. 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 requirements for maintenance and repair work Safety requirements before commencing 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).
Page 9
Pay particular attention to cleanliness at all times. Safety requirements after completing maintenance and repair work Ensure that all personnel is clear of danger zones before cranking. Check that all access ports/apertures which have been opened to facilitate working are closed again. Check that all safety equipment has been installed and that all tools and loose parts have been re- moved (especially the barring gear).
Page 10
Working on electrical/electronic assemblies Always obtain the permission of the duty supervisor before commencing maintenance or repair work or switching off any part of the electronic system required to do so. De-energize the appropriate areas prior to working on assemblies. Avoid damaging cabling during removal.
