On completion of the maintenance and repair work, any cables which have become loose must be correctly
connected and secured.
Always tighten connectors with connector pliers.
On completion of all repair work, the component and system must be subjected to a function check. Separate
testing of the repaired component without system integration is insufficient.
If wires are installed beside mechanical components and there is a risk of chafing, use cable clamps to properly
support the wires.
For this purpose, no cable binders must be used as, during maintenance and / or repair work, the binders can be
removed but not installed a second time.
Spare parts shall be properly stored prior to replacement, i.e. particularly protected against moisture. Defective
electronic components and assemblies must be suitably packed when dispatched for repair, i.e. particularly
protected against moisture and impact and wrapped in antistatic foil if necessary.
Operation of electrical equipment
When operating electrical equipment, certain components of this equipment are live.
Noncompliance with the warning instructions given for this equipment may result in serious injury or damage to
property.
Fire prevention
Rectify any fuel or oil leaks immediately; even splashes of oil or fuel on hot components can cause fires - therefore
always keep the engine in a clean condition. Do not leave cloths soaked with fluids and lubricants lying around on
the engine. Do not store combustible fluids near the engine.
Do not weld pipes and components carrying oil or fuel. Before welding, clean with an inflammable fluid.
When starting the engine with a foreign power source, connect the ground lead last and remove it first. To avoid
sparks in the vicinity of the battery, connect the ground lead from the foreign power source to the ground lead of
the engine or to the ground terminal of the starter.
Always keep suitable fire-fighting equipment (fire extinguishers) at hand and familiarize yourself with their use.
Noise
Noise can lead to an increased risk of accident if acoustic signals, warning shouts or noises indicating danger are
drowned.
At all workplaces with a sound pressure level over 85 dB(A), always wear ear protectors (protective wadding, plugs
or capsules).
Environmental protection
Dispose of used fluids, lubricants and filters in accordance with local regulations.
Manipulation of the injection control system can influence the engine performance and exhaust emissions. As a
result, compliance with environmental regulations may no longer be guaranteed.
Only fuels of the specified quality required to achieve emission limits must be used.
In Germany, the VAwS (= regulations governing the use of materials that may affect water quality) is applicable,
which means work must only be carried out by authorized specialist companies (MTU is such a company).
