2 Safety
Hazards due to hot surfaces and substances
Surfaces of the turbocharger, attached parts and operating fluids (lubricating oil) get hot during
operation. The surface temperature depends on the efficacy of the existing insulation. The
temperature may rise to a level that can cause burns.
Danger of burns
Touching hot surfaces or contact with hot operating fluids can cause severe
burns.
WARNING
Do not touch hot surfaces. Observe the warning plate on the turbochar-

ger.
Wear heat-resistant safety gloves and protective clothing.

Wait for the turbocharger to cool down before carrying out any work.

Hot surfaces on the non-insulated turbocharger
Non-insulated turbochargers can cause serious injuries to personnel (burns).
ABB Turbo Systems supplies the turbocharger with or without insulation in
WARNING
accordance with the purchase order received from the enginebuilder. If
supply is without insulation, the enginebuilder is responsible for providing the
turbocharger with proper insulation and for providing protection against
contact with hot surfaces.
Compliance with the instructions and specifications given by the engine-

builder to protect against hot surfaces is compulsory.
Hazards due to operating materials and supplies
Operating materials and supplies are substances required for the operation or for the perfor-
mance of maintenance work. Oils, greases, coolants, detergents and solvents, acids and simi-
lar substances can be classified as hazardous substances. Operating materials and supplies
can be flammable and combustible.
