Important Information - Mitsubishi S6B Operation & Maintenance Manual

To avoid the potential hazard, accident prevention
activities must be planned methodically and con-
ducted continually by considering all aspect of
engine operation, maintenance and inspection. All
related 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 or regulations of the local or
federal/national government.
The manufacturer cannot foresee all potential dan-
gers of the engine, potential danger resulting from
human error and other causes, or danger caused by
a specific environment in which the engine is used.
Since there are many actions that cannot be per-
formed 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
directions in this manual and also to take general
safety measures when operating, maintaining and
inspecting the engine.
This manual has been prepared for people whose
native language is English. When the engine is used
by individuals whose native language is not English,
the customer is requested to provide thorough safety
guidance to the operators. Also add safety, caution
and operating signs that describe the original warn-
ing label statements in the native language of the
operators.

Important information

The engine must be operated, maintained and
inspected only by qualified persons who have thor-
ough knowledge of engines and their dangers and
who also have received risk avoidance training.
To prevent an accident, do not attempt to carry out
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 provide this manual with the engine to the
new owner. Also inform the manufacturer of the
name and address of the new owner of the engine.
