Carefully read the Operating Instructions before starting any work!
This is especially valid for the chapter on General Safety Instructions
and the safety instructions in each of the chapters.
2.2 Contents of the Operating Instructions
Any person who is instructed to perform work on or with the engine, must have read and understood these
Operating Instructions before starting any work. This also applies if the person has worked with such an
engine or a similar engine, or has already been trained by MAN.
Reading and understanding the Operating Instructions is thus mandatory.
2.3 Modifications and Conversions to the Engine
In order to avoid hazards and to ensure optimum performance, no modifications or conversions to the en
gine may be made which are not expressly approved by MAN.
If changes are made without the written consent of MAN, the guarantee or warranty obligation for MAN is
not longer valid for damage and defects, which are based on these unauthorised changes. Furthermore
MAN assumes no liability for any damage caused as a result of unauthorised changes.
2.4 Responsibility of the Operator
The operator of the motor is subject to the statutory requirements for workplace safety.
In addition to the safety instructions in this operating instruction the relevant safety, accident prevention and
environment protection regulations for the range of use of the engine must be adhered to.
In particular:
S The operator must be knowledgeable about the valid occupational health and safety regulations and be
able to assess, in a risk analysis, the dangers that are present in the specific working conditions at the
operating site of the engine. He must then implement these safety regulations in the form of operating
instructions for the operation of the engine.
S During the whole period of use of the engine the operator must check whether the operating instructions
that he has prepared satisfy the current state of the regulations and adapt the instructions if necessary.
S The operator must clearly define and regulate the responsibilities for installation, operation, maintenance

ible at any time to those persons working on and with the engine.

working order.

prescribed time intervals or to be performed by a MAN service workshop/MAN contract partner.
