Flat seals / gaskets can be fitted properly only if the following points are ob- served: D Use only genuine MAN seals / gaskets D The sealing faces must be undamaged and clean D Do not use any sealing agent or adhesive − as an aid to fitting the seals a little grease...
In accordance with Article 4, paragraph 2, in conjunction with Appendix II, section B, of Directive 89/392/EEC, version 93/44/EEC MAN Nutzfahrzeuge Aktiengesellschaft, hereby declares that the engine described below is destined for installation in a machine as defined in the EC directive on machines.
Ë Ë D Exhaust gases are toxic. Comply with the instructions for the installation of MAN Diesel engines which are to be operated in enclosed spaces. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation and air extraction. D Keep vicinity of engine, ladders and stairways free of oil and grease.
Page 11
Safety regulations During maintenance and care D Always carry out maintenance work when the engine is switched off. If the engine has to be maintained while it is running, e.g. changing the elements of change-over filters, remember that there is a risk of scald- ing.
Page 12
If faults occur, find the cause immediately and have it eliminated in order to prevent more serious damage. Use only genuine MAN spare parts. MAN will accept no responsibility for damage result- ing from the installation of other parts which are supposedly “just as good”.
Page 13
Safety regulations D Take strict precautions to ensure that no oil or Diesel fuel gets into the drains or the ground. Caution: The drinking water supply could be contaminated. D Filter elements are classed as dangerous waste and must be treated as such. Coolant D Treat undiluted anti-corrosion agent and / or anti-freeze as dangerous waste.
At the time of initial commissioning of a new or overhauled engine make sure to have ob- served the “Technical Information for the installation of MAN Diesel engines”. It is recommended that new or overhauled engines should not be operated at a load higher than about 75% maximum load during the first few hours of operation.
Commissioning and operation Commissioning Before daily starting the engine, check fuel level, coolant level and engine oil level and replenish, if necessary. Note: Use only approved fuels, lubricants etc. (see brochure “Fuels, lubricants etc.”). Otherwise the manufacturer’s warranty will become null and void. Checking oil level Check the oil level when the engine is horizontal, but only if at least 20 minutes...
Commissioning and operation Starting Danger: Before starting make sure that no-one is in the engine’s danger area. Caution: When starting do not use any additional starting aids (e.g. injection with starting pilot). D Ensure that no load is on the engine before starting it, eg switch off load, disengage clutch, put gearbox into neutral etc.
Commissioning and operation Operation monitoring system Caution: Do not overload the engine. Do not exceed the maximum permissible tilt of the engine. If faults occur, find their cause immediately and have them eliminated in order to prevent more serious damage! Monitor the oil pressure of the engine lubrication and coolant agent temperature during operations.
Maintenance and care Lubrication system Ensure utmost cleanliness when handling fuels, lubricants and coolants. Note: Use only approved fuels, lubricants etc. (see brochure “Fuels, lubricants etc.”). Otherwise the manufacturer’s warranty will become null and void. Refilling with oil Danger: The oil is hot- risk of scalding. Do not touch the oil drain plug with bare fingers.
Page 19
Maintenance and care Refilling with oil Caution: Do not add so much engine oil that the oil level rises above the max. marking on the dipstick. Overfilling will result in damage to the engine. Refill with fresh engine oil at the oil filler neck À.
Page 20
Maintenance and care Changing oil filter Caution: Used oil and oil filters are classed as dangerous waste. Observe safety regulations to prevent dam- age to the environment. Open oil drain plug on oil filter can and use container to catch oil that may emerge.
Page 21
Maintenance and care Changing oil filter Caution: Used oil and oil filters are classed as dangerous waste. Observe safety regulations to prevent dam- age to the environment. Release oil filter cap with special tool until sealing ring  is visible, wait approx. 2 minutes until the oil has drained from the filter bowl.
Maintenance and care Fuel system Fuel If Diesel fuel which contains moisture is used the injection system and the cylinder liners / pistons will be damaged. This can be prevented to same extent by filling the tank as soon as the engine is switched off while the fuel tank is still warm (formation of con- densation is prevented).

Maintenance and care Cooling system Danger: Draining hot coolant involves a risk of scalding. Draining the cooling system Caution: Drain coolant into a suitable container and dispose of it in accordance with re- gulations. Drain coolant as follows when cooling sys- tem has cooled down: D Open cap on filler neck of expansion tank for pressure compensation and...

Fill the cooling system of the engine with a mixture of drinkable tap water and anti-freeze agent on the ethylene glycole basis or anti-corrosion agent. See Publication “Fuels, Lubricants and Coolants for MAN Diesel Engines”. Coolant must be poured in according to the vehicle manufacturer’s filling specifi- cations.
