2. Regulations designed to prevent damage to engine and premature wear
Do not demand more from the engine than it is able to supply in its intended application.
Detailed information on this can be found in the sales literature. The injection pump must
not be adjusted without prior written permission of MAN Nürnberg.
If faults occur, find the cause immediately and have it eliminated in order to prevent more
serious damage.
Use only genuine MAN spare parts. MAN will accept no responsibility for damage result-
ing from the installation of other parts which are supposedly “just as good”.
In addition to the above, note the following points:
D
Never let the engine run when dry, i.e. without lube oil or coolant.
D
When starting do not use any additional starting aids (e.g. injection with starting pilot).
D
Use only MAN-approved service products (fuel, engine oil, anti-freeze and anti-cor-
rosion agent). Pay attention to cleanliness. The Diesel fuel must be free of water. See
“Maintenance and care”.
D
Have the engine maintained at the specified intervals.
D
Do not switch off the engine immediately when it is warm, but let it run without load for
about 5 minutes so that temperature equalization can take place.
D
Never put cold coolant into an overheated engine. See “Maintenance and care”.
D
Do not add so much engine oil that the oil level rises above the max. marking on
the dipstick. Do not exceed the maximum permissible tilt of the engine.
Serious damage to the engine may result if these instructions are not adhered to.
D
Always ensure that the testing and monitoring equipment (for battery charge, oil pres-
sure, coolant temperature) function satisfactorily.
D
Comply with instructions for operation of the alternator. See “Maintenance and care”.
D
Do not let the raw water pump run dry. If there is a risk of frost, drain the pump when
the engine is switched off.
3. Regulations designed to prevent pollution
Engine oil and filter elements / cartridges, fuel / fuel filter
D
Take old oil only to an old oil collection point.
