Commissioning Note Important Please complete and return the “Commissioning Note” card below to MTU Friedrichshafen GmbH. The Commissioning Note information serves as a basis for the contractually agreed logistic support (war‐ ranty, spare parts, etc.).
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. MTU accepts no liability whatsoever for damage or injury resulting from the use of other spare parts and the warranty shall be voided in such case.
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.
Only set down engine on a firm, level surface. Make sure that the consistency and load-bearing capacity of the ground or support surface is adequate. Never set an engine down on the oil pan unless expressively authorized to do so by MTU on a case-to- case basis.
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: •...
Do not use the assembly or plant as a ground terminal. Never place the welding cable across or near wiring harnesses of MTU plants. The welding current may otherwise induce an interference voltage in the wiring harnesses which could damage the electrical sys‐...
Page 12
If welding has to be carried out on components (e.g. exhaust manifold), these components must first be removed from the engine. Hydraulic installation and removal Check the tools and devices to be used for perfect operation and safe condition. Only use the specified devices for force-fitting/removing parts.
MTU will provide assistance and advice if emission-relevant components are intended to be modified. The MTU Maintenance Schedules ensure the reliability and performance of MTU engines and must be complied with over the entire life cycle of the engine.
