General Safety Instructions
This section provides information about residual risks and dangers when using the engine as intended.
Generally applicable and valid safety instructions that help ensure optimum protection for personnel as well
as safe and trouble-free operation of the engine are included.
Specific safety instructions that apply to specific actions or situations are included afterwards before the
action concerned or in the described section.
Grave danger can result if the specific and safety instructions in these operating instructions are not fol
lowed.
2.1
Intended use
The engine is designed and built exclusively to power marine vessels.
Any use other than this is deemed non-intended use.
MAN accepts no liability for damage resulting from non-intended use. In this case, the risk is borne entirely
by the operator.
Intended use also includes compliance with the prescribed operating, maintenance and repair work.
The engine may only be used, maintained and repaired by persons who are familiar with the engine and
have been informed of the hazards.
Unauthorised changes to the engine absolve MAN of any liability for resulting damage or injury.
Likewise, tampering or changing the injection and control system can impact the engine's performance and
emissions.
Compliance with the statutory environmental protection requirements is therefore no longer assured.
DANGER
