WARNING
Hot surfaces on a non-insulated turbocharger
Non-insulated turbochargers can cause serious injuries to personnel (burns).
The turbocharger is supplied with or without insulation in accordance with
the purchase order received from the enginebuilder. If supply is without in-
sulation, 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 compulsory.
Wear safety gloves to protect against thermal hazards.

WARNING
Hazards due to rotating parts
Contact with rotating parts can cause severe injury. The turbocharger is
never allowed to be operated without filter silencer or air-inlet casing. With
the engine stopped, the rotor can rotate due to the stack draught alone.
u
Operate the turbocharger in compliance with the specifications.
u
Secure the rotor against unintentional rotation during maintenance.
Wear safety gloves to protect against mechanical hazards.
