FOREWORD

Important information
• To avoid potential hazard, accident prevention activ-
ities must be planned methodically and conducted
continually by considering all aspects of engine
operation, maintenance and inspection.
All related personnel, including managers and
supervisors, should actively participate, recognize
their roles and organize themselves and their work
to ensure a safe environment.
• The foremost safety objective is to prevent acci-
dents that may result in injury or death, or equip-
ment damage.
• Always observe laws or regulations of the local or
federal/national government.
• The manufacturer cannot foresee all potential dan-
gers of the engine, potential danger resulting from
human error and other causes, or danger caused by
a specific environment in which the engine is used.
Since there are many actions that cannot be per-
formed or must not be performed, it is impossible to
indicate every caution in this manual or on warning
labels. As such, it is extremely important to follow
directions in this manual and also to take general
safety measures when operating, maintaining and
inspecting the engine.
• This manual has been prepared for people whose
native language is English. When the engine is used
by individuals whose native language is not English,
the customer is requested to provide thorough
safety guidance to the operators. Also add safety,
caution and operating signs that describe the origi-
nal warning label statements in the native language
of the operators.
• The engine must be operated, maintained and
inspected only by qualified persons who have thor-
ough knowledge of engines and their dangers and
who also have received risk avoidance training.
• To prevent an accident, do not attempt to carry out
any operation other than those described in this
manual, and do not use the engine for any unap-
proved purpose.
• When the ownership of the engine is transferred, be
sure to provide this manual with the engine to the
new owner. Also inform the manufacturer of the
name and address of the new owner of the engine.
• This manual is copyrighted and all rights are
reserved. No part of this manual, including illustra-
tions and technical references, may be reproduced,
photocopied, translated, or reproduced in any elec-
tronic medium or machine readable form without
prior written consent from the manufacturer.
• The contents in this manual are subject to change at
any time without notice, for improvement of the
engine.
• Pictures or illustrations of the product in this manual
may differ from those of product you have.
• Please note that, depending on specifications, items
described in this manual may differ in shape, or may
not be installed on the product you have.
• Please contact your Mitsubishi dealer if you need
more information or if you have any questions.
• If you lose or damage this manual, obtain a new
copy at your Mitsubishi dealer as soon as possible.
• Mitsubishi Heavy Industries recommends the
engine owner to install an hourmeter on the engine
due to monitor correct service intervals and to per-
form the maintenance at the proper timing.
