WARNING WARNING: Breathing diesel engine exhaust exposes you to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Always start and operate the engine in a well-ventilated area. If in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the outside. Do not modify or tamper with the exhaust system.
Nameplates, model designation or serial number can be found on the product. All EU-certified engines delivered by MTU come with a second nameplate. This second nameplate is deliv- ered "loosely" with the engine. If the nameplate secured to the engine after installation in the vehicle/system is not visible without the removal of components, the system integrator must install the second nameplate in a clearly visible area on the vehicle/system.
