General Safety Instructions
This chapter provides information on residual risks and hazards during proper use of the engine. The gen
erally valid safety instructions to be observed are listed here. They provide optimum protection for person
nel and for the safe and smooth operation of the engine.
In the following, specific, action and situation-related safety information is placed before the corresponding
step, or in the chapter described.
Failure to observe the Operating Instructions and Safety Instructions in this document can result in signific
ant hazards.
2.1
Intended Use
The engine is built exclusively to drive generators or for the coupling of heat exchangers within the limits of
technical data
Any other use is considered as "not intended".
MAN is not liable for any damage resulting from use that is not intended. The risk is entirely borne by the
operator.
Intended use also includes compliance with the country-specific, local environmental regulations.
This in particular concerns the compliance with the applicable legal exhaust emission limits.
Furthermore, the engine operating parameters according to the technical data sheets currently in effect
must also be adhered to.
The mixture generating and control system, as well as - if needed - the exhaust aftertreatment system must
be prepared by the manufacturer of the complete machine to meet these criteria.
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 modifications to the engine shall void any liability for any resulting property damage and per
sonal injury.
Likewise, the manipulation of the control system could affect the performance and emission characteristics
of the engine. Compliance with the statutory environmental requirements can therefore no longer be guar
anteed.
DANGER!
Danger from not using the product as intended!
Any use that exceeds the intended use and/or any different use of the engine can lead to
dangerous situations which will invalidate the operating permit.
For this reason:
S
Use the engine for its intended purpose only.
S
Use the engine outside of hazardous areas where there is a risk of explosion.
S
Use the engine with an overspeed limiting device installed.
NOTE!
Observe the following information when operating the engine:
S
The safety information in these Operating Instructions and in the supplier's operating in
structions.
S
The “Technical Data" chapter in these Operating Instructions and in the supplier's operat
ing instructions.
