In accordance with Article 4, paragraph 2, in conjunction with Appendix II, section B, of Directive 89/392/EEC, version 93/44/EEC MAN Nutzfahrzeuge Aktiengesellschaft, hereby declares that the engine described below is destined for installation in a machine as defined in the EC directive on machines.
The engine type plates are on the crank- case (see illustration). Model MAN Nutzfahrzeuge Aktiengesellschaft ..............Motor-Nr. / Engine No. delivered on NI/II ..............
Ë Ë D Exhaust gases are toxic. Comply with the instructions for the installation of MAN Diesel engines which are to be operated in enclosed spaces. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation and air extraction. D Keep vicinity of engine, ladders and stairways free of oil and grease.
Page 11
Safety regulations During maintenance and care D Always carry out maintenance work when the engine is switched off. If the engine has to be maintained while it is running, e.g. changing the elements of change-over filters, remember that there is a risk of scald- ing.
Page 12
If faults occur, find the cause immediately and have it eliminated in order to prevent more serious damage. Use only genuine MAN spare parts. MAN will accept no responsibility for damage result- ing from the installation of other parts which are supposedly “just as good”.
Page 13
Safety regulations D Take strict precautions to ensure that no oil or Diesel fuel gets into the drains or the ground. Caution: The drinking water supply could be contaminated. D Filter elements are classed as dangerous waste and must be treated as such. Coolant D Treat undiluted anti-corrosion agent and / or anti-freeze as dangerous waste.
When putting a new or overhauled engine into operation for the first time pay attention to the “Installation instructions for MAN marine diesel engines” without fail. It is recommended that new or overhauled engines should not be operated at a load higher than about 75% maximum load during the first few hours of operation.

Commissioning and operation Commissioning Before daily starting the engine, check fuel level, coolant level and engine oil level and replenish, if necessary. Note: Use only approved fuels, lubricants etc. (see brochure “Fuels, lubricants etc.”). Otherwise the manufacturer’s warranty will become null and void. Checking oil level Check engine oil level only approx.
Commissioning and operation Starting Danger: Before starting make sure that no-one is in the engine’s danger area. Caution: When starting do not use any additional starting aids (e.g. injection with starting pilot). Ensure that the gearbox is in neutral. Insert starter key and turn it to position “I”. The check lamp comes on to show that the engine is ready for operation.
Commissioning and operation Operation monitoring The D 2840 LE 403 / D 2842 LE 404 is equipped as series standard with a monitoring and diagnostic system MMDS. On the control console and alternatively on other control stands, the following display de- vices are available for monitoring operation: 1.

Commissioning and operation Operation of the display device MMDS-L The display device has the following operating keys: Switches off the alarm horn and the integrated buzzer Switches off the flashing signal of the relevant warning lamp, i.e. the flashing light switches to continuous light.
Page 23
Commissioning and operation 3. Display device MMDS-LC The device serves to visualise analog en- MAN MARINE DIESEL gine data, as well as visual and acoustic notification of engine alarms. All engine data is entered at the factory in the lan-...
Page 24
Commissioning and operation Representation of monitor pages The analog engine data provided by the MMDS is distributed on 4 monitor pages. On each page, the current engine speed is displayed in the top line. The 1st page continues with the most important engine data such as oil pressure, coolant pressure, charge-air pressure and oil pressure in the gearbox.
Page 25
Commissioning and operation If an alarm is activated, the device switches automatically to the alarm screen. Each new entry is made in the top line. Any messages that might already be present shift one line downwards. In a column to the right of this, the code and current time are added. Al- though a warning (message without alarm) is entered in the alarm screen, there is no au- tomatic switch to that screen, e.g.
Page 26
Commissioning and operation When the acoustic acknowledgement (Horn Quit key) has been pressed, the integrated buzzer switches off. With the visual acknowledgement (Visual Quit key), the flashing text and the LED “Alarm” switches to continuous display. When the fault has been remedied, the alarm text disappears from the monitor.
Page 27
Commissioning and operation Visual Quit / Test: Standard function: visual acknowledgement, i.e. all flashing alarm texts in the currently visible alarm screen switch to constant represen- T E S T tation if the horn was acknowledged beforehand; the red alarm LED integrated in the front plate is also switched from flashing to continu- ous lighting.
