General Safety Instructions
14
Carefully read these 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 Content of the Installation and 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.
Familiarity with these instructions is therefore essential.
2.3 Engine modifications and conversions
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
no longer valid for damage and defects which are based on these unauthorised changes.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 Operator's responsibility
The engine operator is subject to the statutory requirements for workplace safety.
In addition to the Safety Instructions in these Operating Instructions, the safety regulations, accident pre
vention regulations and environmental protection regulations valid for the application area of this engine
must also be observed.
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 entire period of operation of the engine the operator must check whether the operating in
structions he created meet the most current standards and regulations and revise them if necessary.
S The operator must clearly define and regulate the responsibilities for installation, operation, maintenance
and cleaning of the product.

working order.

specified intervals or have it performed by a MAN Service workshop/authorised MAN partner.
