2. Instructions for preventing damage to the engine and premature wear
D Prior to repairing the engine, clean it thoroughly. Ensure that dirt, sand or foreign matter will
not get into the engine during repair work.
D In the event of operational faults immediately identy the cause and rectify to prevent more serious
damage.
D Always use genuine MAN parts only. Installation of "equally" good parts from other suppliers may cause
severe damage for which the workshop carrying out the work is responsible.
D Never operate the engine while it is dry, i.e. without lubricant or coolant.
Use a suitable label to mark engines not ready for operation.
D Only use operating materials (fuel, engine oil, antifreeze and anticorrosion agents) approved by MAN.
Ensure that everything is kept clean. Diesel fuel must be free of water.
D Do not fill up with engine oil above the max. notch on the dipstick. Do not exceed the engine's
maximum permissible operating inclination.
Non-compliance with these instructions may cause severe engine damage.
D Control and monitoring devices (charge check, oil pressure, coolant temperature) must work faultlessly.
D Observe the instructions for operating the alternator; see chapter "Maintenance and care" in the
Operator's Manual.
