Correct use also includes observation of and compliance with the maintenance specifications. Modifications or conversions Unauthorized modifications to the engine represent a safety risk. MTU will accept no liability or warranty claims for any damage caused by unauthorized modifications or conversions. Spare parts Only genuine MTU spare parts must be used to replace components or assemblies.
1.2 Personnel and organizational requirements Personnel requirements Work on the engine must only be carried out by appropriately qualified and instructed personnel. Observe the minimum legal age. Responsibilities of the operating, maintenance and repair personnel must be specified by the operating company.
Place the engine only on an even, firm surface. Ensure appropriate consistency and load-bearing capacity of the ground or support surface. Never place an engine on the oil pan, unless expressively authorized by MTU on a case-to-case basis to do so.

Torque wrench, 10-60 Nm F30510423 Torque wrench, 60-320 Nm F30047446 Engine oil Transport locking device Note: The locking device protects the crankshaft bearings from shocks and vibration damage during engine transport.
Page 9
Fitting the transport locking device on driving end (KS) Note: Attach plates (2) only to the upper part of the openings. Secure the two plates (2) with screws (6) and washers (5) at the bores on both sides of the flywheel housing and tighten to the specified tightening torque.
Page 10
Installing guard plates and engine mounting brackets (if applicable) on driving end (KS) Note: Always use the screws supplied with the or removed from the guard plates and engine mounting brackets to secure them on the engine. Install engine mounting brackets (2) on both sides with guard plates (1) washers (3), and screws (4).
Safety requirements for initial operation Prior to initial operation of the unit, install the assembly or unit according to the specifications and check the installation according to the MTU specifications. Before putting the device or plant into operation, always ensure: •...
1.6 Explosion hazard when removing inspection port cover on engine DANGER Explosion hazard due to oil vapors. Risk of serious injury – danger to life! • Allow the engine to cool down before opening the crankcase! • Avoid open flames, electrical sparks and ignition sources. Safety instructions Before starting maintenance work, allow the engine to cool down for at least 10 min.
1.7 Safety regulations for maintenance and repair work Safety regulations for maintenance and repair work Have maintenance and repair work carried out by qualified and authorized personnel only. Allow the engine to cool down before starting maintenance work (risk of explosion of oil vapors). Before starting work, relieve pressure in systems and compressed-air lines which are to be opened.
Page 14
Do not use the assembly or system as ground terminal. Do not route the welding lead over or near the wiring harnesses of MTU systems. The welding current may otherwise induce an interference voltage in the wiring harnesses which could conceivably damage the electrical system.
Page 15
For conducting light-beam procedures and measurement work, only the following laser devices must be used: • Laser devices of classes 1, 2 or 3A. • Laser devices of class 3B, which have maximum output in the visible wavelength range (400 to 700 nm), a maximum output of 5 mW, and in which the beam axis and surface are designed to prevent any risk to the eyes.
Use only fuel of prescribed quality to comply with emission limit values. Dispose of used fluids, lubricants and filters in accordance with local regulations. Within the EU, batteries can be returned free of charge to MTU FN / MTU Onsite Energy where they are subjected to proper recycling procedures.

1.9 Conventions for safety instructions in the text DANGER In the event of immediate danger. Consequences: Death or serious injury • Remedial action WARNING In the event of potentially dangerous situations. Consequences: Death or serious injury • Remedial action CAUTION In the event of dangerous situations.
2 General Information 2.1 Product description Description of the engine Engine The engine is a liquid-cooled four-stroke diesel engine, rotating counterclockwise (seen from driving end), with direct injection, exhaust turbocharging and intercooling. The engine is monitored by an engine control and monitoring system. Monitoring in the engine room is carried out by the engine control and monitoring unit.
Page 20
• Interface to CAN field bus for connected, communicating monitoring system components. SOLAS – Fire protection specifications All fuel lines with fuel pressure >1.8 bar are fitted with SOLAS-compliant covers acc. to MTU standard MTN5233. All oil lines with oil pressure >1.8 bar are fitted with SOLAS-compliant covers acc. to MTU standard MTN5233.

Special unions The following types of union are spray-proof in case of leakage even without covers and have been con‐ firmed as being SOLAS-compliant by GL and DNV. Plug-in pipe union Design precludes lateral spray as the parting line is shielded by the sleeve (4). Only seepage along the pipeline is possible whereby the pressure is greatly reduced by a faulty O-ring (3).

Shielding of fuel filters and lube-oil filters Shielding with plastic ring The plastic ring (1) precludes lateral spray. The fluid is diverted to the catch basin whereby the pressure is greatly reduced. Shielding by structural overhang The overhang (1) prevents lateral spray. The fluid is diverted to the catch basin whereby the pressure is greatly reduced.
2.3 Engine side and cylinder designations Engine sides are always designated as viewed from the driving end (KS). The cylinders of the left engine side are designated "A" and those of the right side "B" (as per DIN ISO 1204). The cylinders of each bank are numbered consecutively, starting with No. 1 at the driving end of the engine.
