Introduction

Turbochargers manufactured by ABB Turbo Systems are state of the art and comply with the
respective health and safety standards in effect at the time the turbocharger was built. This
ensures safe operation of the turbocharger. Nevertheless, there may be some residual risks
during operation of and work on the turbocharger which:
 Are caused by the turbocharger itself or its accessories.
 Are caused by the operating equipment used or supplies and materials.
 Are a consequence of insufficient compliance with safety instructions.
 Are a consequence of insufficient or inappropriate performance of maintenance and in-
spection work.
The operating company is responsible for the organisational measures that regulate the safe
handling of the turbocharger by its personnel.
All instructions contained in this chapter must be observed for safe and trouble-free operation
of the turbocharger and during all work on the turbocharger.
All further safety instructions contained and specifically identified in every chapter of this ma-
nual (Definition of safety instructions [➙ 7]) must also be observed.
