During cleaning of the compressor at an engine load of 85 to 100 %,
the stress on the material of the compressor-end turbocharger parts
can be increased.

The specified water pressure upstream of the connection to the turbo-
charger must be maintained.
Operate engine for at least five additional minutes after cleaning.
The cleaning process can be repeated up to two times.
How successful the cleaning was, can be seen from the charging pres-

If the cleaning is still unsuccessful after three cleaning processes and the
engine values are unsatisfactory, it is recommended to have the turbo-
charger checked and cleaned by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station.
