4. Special safety measures
D
Prior to turning the crankshaft with the turning gear, make sure that no person
is inside the engine and no loose parts, tools or devices can get jammed. Also
bear in mind that the coupled propeller turns too (danger in surroundings).
D At all times when somebody is inside the engine casing another person must
stand by in order that he can give the necessary aid if something unexpected
happens to the person inside the engine. The person who is inside the engine
casing must be equipped with all safety gears which are required to prevent
suffocation within the limited space and atmospheric conditions. Moreover an
antifall guard must be carried at dangerous places!
D The allowed load capacity of the engine room crane, the lifting tools, ropes
and chains must be sufficient for the parts to be lifted (see 0360 − 1 ).
Pay also attention to the weight distribution and attachment of the lifting tackle
in order that the part which must be lifted cannot tip over or crash down!
D
Sharp edges, mating faces etc. as well as ropes are to be protected by wood-
en pieces, leather or special edge guards which are placed between the part
and the rope or chain.
D Always use gloves, a face shield and wear safety goggles when working with
hydraulic tools.
D For your own safety keep away from under hanging loads, never undersling
hanging parts with your fingers or hands and never embrace lifting ropes with
your hands.
D Removed parts must be secured in the engine room.
D
For reasons of safety, openings resulting from removed engine components
must be closed!
Remark: For further instructions see also Safety Precautions and Warnings (Gen-
eral Information) 0210 − 1 in the Operating Manual.
