Never 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.
Only fuels of the specified quality required to achieve emission limits must be used. In Germany, the VAwS (= regulations governing the use of materials that may affect water quality) is applicable, which means work must only be carried out by authorized specialist companies (MTU is such a company). Auxiliary materials Use only fluids and lubricants that have been tested and approved by MTU.
Putting the engine into operation after extended out-of-service-periods (>3 months) Preconditions • Engine is stopped and starting disabled. • MTU Fluids and Lubricants Specifications (A001061/..) are available. Putting the engine into operation after extended out-of-service-periods (>3 months) Item Task Engine Depreserve (→MTU Fluids and Lubricants Specifications A001061/..).
If the engine is to remain out of service for more than 1 week, seal the engine’s air and exhaust sides. If the engine is to remain out of service for more than 1 month, carry out preservation (→MTU Fluids and Lubricants Specification A001061/..).
