Hazards due to hot surfaces and substances
During operation, turbocharger surfaces and attached parts as well as
operating materials (lubricating oil) become hot. The surface temperat-
ure is dependent on the effectiveness of the insulation being used. The
temperature can become high enough so that it falls into ranges where
burns are possible.
WARNING
Risk of burning
Touching hot surfaces or contact with hot operating materials can lead
to serious burns.
u
Do not touch hot surfaces and heed the warning plate on the tur-
bocharger.
u
Wear heat-resistant safety gloves and protective clothing.
u
Allow the turbocharger to cool down before carrying out any work.
Wear safety gloves to protect against thermal hazards.
WARNING
Hot surfaces on uninsulated turbochargers
Uninsulated turbochargers can cause serious personal injuries (burns).
The turbocharger is supplied with or without insulation in accordance
with the purchase order received from the enginebuilder. If supply is
without insulation, the enginebuilder is responsible for providing the
turbocharger with proper insulation and for providing protection
against contact with hot surfaces.
u
Compliance with the instructions and specifications given by the en-
ginebuilder to protect against hot turbocharger surfaces is compuls-
ory.
Wear safety gloves to protect against thermal hazards.
Hazards due to operating and auxiliary materials
Operating and auxiliary materials are substances used for operation or
the execution of maintenance work. Oils, greases, coolants, cleaning
agents and solvents, acids, etc. can be regarded as hazardous materials.
Operating and auxiliary materials can be combustible and easily ignited.
