General Notes on Maintenance Work

3.1 When performing maintenance work

DANGER
Risk of injury and scalding!!
Therefore:
S Carefully read the safety regulations in the Operating Instructions!
NOTE
No liability for engine damage if non-approved spare parts are used.
Therefore:
S Use only genuine MAN spare parts. MAN will accept no responsibility for damage resulting from the
installation of other parts from external sources.
S Exchange worn seals.
S Tighten screwed connections for which tightening torques are specified (see "Service Data"), always
using a torque wrench.

3.2 When checking the engine oil level or changing the engine oil

NOTE
No liability for engine damage if non-approved fuels, lubricants and fluids are used!
If non-approved fuels, lubricants and fluids are used, MAN accepts no liability for material damage.
Therefore:
S Only use approved fuels, lubricants and fluids (see publication "Fluids, Lubricants and Coolants for
MAN Industrial and Marine Diesel Engines"). A current list of approved products can be found online

S The procedure for changing engine oil and oil filters is described in the Operator's Manual in the chapter
"Maintenance and care".
