Welding work
Welding operations on the product or mounted units are not permitted. Cover the product when welding in
its vicinity.
Before starting welding work:
• Switch off the power supply master switch.
• Disconnect the battery cables or actuate the battery isolating switch.
• Separate the electrical ground of electronic equipment from the ground of the unit.
No other maintenance or repair work must be carried out in the vicinity of the product while welding is going
on. Risk of explosion or fire due to oil vapors and highly flammable process materials.
Do not use product as ground terminal.
Never position the welding power supply cable adjacent to, or crossing cabling harnesses of the product. The
welding current may otherwise induce an interference voltage in the cabling harnesses which could conceiv-
ably damage the electrical system.
Remove components (e.g. exhaust pipe) from the product before performing necessary welding work.
Observe the max. permissible force-on pressure specified for the device/fixture.
Do not attempt to bend or exert force on HP lines.
Before starting work, pay attention to the following:
• Vent the installation/removal device, the pumps and the pipework at the relevant designated points.
• During the installation procedure, screw on device with pushed-in plunger.
• During the removal procedure, screw on device with retracted plunger.
For a hydraulic installation/removal device with central expansion pressure supply, screw spindle into shaft
end until correct sealing is established.
Noise
Noise can lead to an increased risk of accidents if acoustic signals, warning shouts or sounds indicating dan-
ger are drowned.
Wear ear protectors in workplaces with a sound pressure level in excess of 85 dB (A).
Auxiliary materials
Process materials may also be hazardous or toxic. When using consumables and auxiliary materials as well
as other chemical substances, observe the information contained in the safety data sheet for the product.
The safety data sheet may be obtained from the relevant manufacturer or from MTU.
Take special care when using hot, chilled or caustic materials.
Used oil
Used oil contains combustion residues that are harmful to health.
Wear protective gloves!
Wash relevant areas after contact with used oil.

ECU Check for fault messages;
if fault messages are displayed: Determine the cause, rectify the fault.
Check indicated operating parameters (speed, temperatures, pressures).
Operation log (if available) Document operating parameters
• This is especially useful for fault localization and fast remedial action.

engine at rated speed with the engine stopped;
check for abnormal running noises and vibration.
TIM-ID: 0000043158 - 001
WARNING
Engine operation at high load/speed when measuring emissions.
Risk of injury!
• Conduct measuring in a room which offers safe protection from the engine if at all possible. If this is
not feasible, keep the greatest possible distance away when measuring, e.g. using wireless data
transmission or long cables.
WARNING
Installing/removing measuring equipment – exhaust gases are hot and pressurized.
Risk of injury and burning!
• Only install/remove measuring equipment when the engine is at standstill.
• Wear protective clothing, protective gloves and goggles/safety mask.
WARNING
High level of engine noise when the engine is running.
Risk of damage to hearing!
• Wear ear protectors.
WARNING
Exhaust gases are harmful to health.
Risk of poisoning!
• Ensure that the engine room is well ventilated.
• Repair leaking exhaust pipework immediately.
NOTICE
Stopping the engine when it is running at full load subjects it to extreme thermal and mechanical stress-
es.
Overheating of and, therefore, damage to components is possible!
• Before shutting down the engine, allow it to idle until the engine temperatures decrease and constant
levels are indicated.
NOTICE
Non-compliance with exhaust emission limits.
Emission agencies may revoke the operating license!
• Adjust the exhaust emissions such as to ensure compliance with statutory limits.
• Use tested measuring equipment only.
• Exhaust emissions shall be checked and adjusted at the intervals specified in the Maintenance
Schedule.

• Trigger an emergency stop only in emergency situations.
A prerequisite for performing the measures to rectify faults is corresponding qualification/training at MTU.
Contact Service should troubleshooting as prescribed in the fault code list prove unsuccessful.
