FOREWORD
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
To avoid the potential hazard, accident prevention
activities must be planned methodically and con-
ducted continually by considering all aspect of
engine operation, maintenance and inspection. All
related personnel, including managers and supervi-
sors, should actively participate, recognize their roles
and organize themselves and their work to ensure a
safe environment.
The foremost safety objective is to prevent accidents
which may result in injury or death, or equipment
damage.
Always observe laws or regulations of the local or
federal/national government.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. cannot foresee all
potential dangers of the engine, potential danger
resulting from human error and other causes, or dan-
ger caused by a specific environment in which the
engine is used. Since there are many actions that
cannot be performed 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, maintain-
ing and inspecting the engine.
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 original 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 man-
ual, and do not use the engine for any unapproved
purpose.
When the ownership of the engine is transferred, be
sure to provide this manual with the engine to the
new owner. Also inform Mitsubishi Heavy Industries,
Ltd. of the name and address of the new owner of the
engine.
