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 informa
tion 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 resulting from the in
stallation 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-corrosion 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 pressure, coolant tem
perature) function satisfactorily.
D
Comply with instructions for operation of the alternator. See “Maintenance and care".
