  • 1 04 Safety

    1.4 Safety precautions when working on the engineEngine operationWhen the engine is running, always wear ear protectors.Ensure that the engine room is well ventilated.Mop up any leaked or spilled fluids and lubricants immediately or soak up with a suitable bonding agent.Exhaust gases from combustion engines are poisonous. Inhalation of poisonous exhaust gases is a healthhazard. The exhaust pipework must be free of leaks and discharge the gases to atmosphere.Do not touch any battery terminals, generator terminals, cables or ignition system components (ignitioncoils, ignition cables, ignition cable connectors) during engine operation!Inadequate protection of electrical components can lead to electric shocks and serious injuries.When the engine is running, never release coolant, oil, fuel, compressed-air or hydraulic lines.When the engine is running, beware of hot components. Risk of burns!When the engine is running, beware of rotating parts. Risk of injury!Maintenance and repairStrict adherence to the maintenance and repair schedule is an essential safety factor.Never carry out maintenance and repair work with the engine running unless expressly instructed to do so.Lock-out/tag-out the engine to preclude undesired starting. Disconnect the battery when electrical startersare fitted. Close the main valve on the compressed-air system and vent the compressed air line whenair starters are fitted. Shut off the gas supply to the engine. Activate the emergency stop at the engineinterface switchgear cabinet (MIS) or by turning the key switch, if fitted. Post the "Do Not Start" sign in theoperating room or affix it to the control device! Persons not involved must keep clear.Never attempt to rectify faults or carry out repairs if you do not have the necessary experience or special toolsrequired. Have maintenance and repair work carried out by qualified and authorized personnel only.All work on gas-carrying components must be carried out by authorized, specialized companies.Installation and connection of the gas supply must only be carried out by a specialized companywith staff that has been trained and authorized for this task.Use only proper, calibrated tools.Do not work on engines or components which are only held by lifting equipment or crane. Always support bysuitable means which conform with the applicable regulations before commencing maintenance or repair work.Before barring the engine, make sure that nobody is standing in the danger zone. After completingwork on the engine, check that all protective devices/safety guards have been installed and thatall tools and loose parts have been removed from the engine.Fluids emerging under high pressure can penetrate clothing and skin and may cause serious injury. Beforestarting work, relieve pressure in systems and H.P. lines which are to be opened.Never rework fuel lines or fuel system components and do not install lines or components that havebeen reworked or that have not been approved for the application in question. Keep fuel lines andconnections clean. Cap all removed or opened lines and check for leaks.During maintenance and repair work, take care not to damage the fuel lines. To tighten the connections wheninstalling the lines, use the correct tightening torque and ensure that all retainers and dampers are installed correctly.Ensure that all fuel lines and pressurized oil lines have sufficient distance to other components to avoid contact withthem. Do not place fuel or oil lines near hot components, except when necessary for design reasons during installation.Elastomers (e.g. "Viton" sealing rings) are stable under normal operating conditions. The material decomposeswhen exposed to fire or temperatures exceeding 300 C. Hydrogen fluoride vapors are released in thiscase. The resulting acid leads to serious burning if it contacts the skin. Do not touch elastomeric sealsif they have carbonized or resinous appearance. Wear protective gloves!Beware of hot fluids and gas in lines, pipes and chambers Risk of burns!Note cooling period for components which are heated for installation or removal Risk of injury!Never touch hot parts of the compressor and exhaust system Risk of burning!Take special care when removing ventilation or plug screws from engine. In order to avoid dischargeof highly pressurized liquids, hold a cloth over the screw or plug. It is even more dangerous if theengine has recently been shut down, as the liquids can still be hot.Take special care when draining hot fluids. Risk of injury!

    M015635/00E 04-12 MTU

  • Safety 1 05

    When draining, collect fluids in a suitable container, mop up any spilled fluids or wipe orsoak them with a suitable bonding agent.When changing engine oil or carrying out work on the fuel system, ensure sufficient ventilationof the machine room and shut off the main gas supply!When working high on the engine, always use suitable ladders and work platforms. Makesure components are placed on stable surfaces.In order to prevent back injuries when lifting heavy components adults, depending on age and sex,should only lift weights between max. 10 kg and 30 kg, therefore:

    Use lifting gear or seek assistance. Ensure that all chains, hooks, slings, etc. are tested and authorized, are sufficiently strong and that

    hooks are correctly positioned. Lifting eyes must not be unevenly loaded.

    Welding workNever carry out welding work on the engine or engine-mounted units.Never use the engine as a ground connection. This prevents the welding current passing throughthe engine resulting in burnt/scorched bearings, sliding surfaces and tooth flanks which maylead to bearing seizure and/or other material damage.Never route the welding lead over or near the wiring harnesses of MTU systems. The welding current may otherwiseinduce an interference voltage in the wiring harnesses which could conceivably damage the electrical system.The welding unit ground connection must not be more than 60 cm from the weld point.If components (e.g. exhaust manifold) are to be welded, they must be removed from the engine.It is not necessary to remove the connector and the connections when carrying out welding operationon MTU electronics if the master switch for power supply is switched from "ON" to "OFF" and the wireis disconnected from the negative and positive poles on the battery.

    Hydraulic installation and removalOnly the hydraulic installation and removal equipment specified in the work schedule andin the assembly instructions must be used.The max. permissible push-on pressure specified for the equipment must not be exceeded.The H.P. lines for hydraulic installation and removal are tested with 3800 bar.Do not attempt to bend or apply force to lines.Before starting work, pay attention to the following:

    Vent the hydraulic installation/removal tool, the pumps and the lines at the relevant points for the system tobe used (e.g. open vent plugs, pump until bubble-free air emerges, close vent plugs).

    For hydraulic installation, screw on the tool with the piston retracted. For hydraulic removal, screw on the tool with the piston extended.

    For a hydraulic installation/removal tool with central expansion pressure supply, screw spindleinto shaft end until correct sealing is achieved.During hydraulic installation and removal, ensure that nobody is standing in the immediate vicinity of thecomponent to be installed/removed. As long as the system is under pressure, there is the risk that thecomponent to be installed/removed may be suddenly released from the pressure connection.Before use, the tools must be checked at regular intervals (crack test).Working on electrical/electronic assembliesAlways obtain the permission of the person in charge before commencing maintenance and repairwork or switching off any part of the electronic system required to do so.De-energize the appropriate areas prior to working on assemblies. Any measures requiring a powersupply are expressly defined as such at the appropriate place in the manual.Gases released from the battery are explosive. Avoid sparks and naked flames. Do not allow batteryacids to come in contact with skin or clothing. Wear protective goggles. Do not place tools on thebattery. Before connecting the cable to the battery, check battery polarity. Battery pole reversal may leadto injury through the sudden discharge of acid or bursting of the battery body.Do not damage wiring during removal work and when reinstalling wiring and ensure that during operation it isnot damaged by contact with sharp objects, by rubbing against other component or by a hot surface.Do not secure wiring to fluid-carrying lines.On completion of the maintenance and repair work, any cables which have become loosemust be correctly connected and secured.

    M015635/00E 04-12 MTU

  • 1 06 Safety

    On completion of all repair work, the component and system must be subjected to a function check.Separate testing of the repaired component without system integration is insufficient.If wires are installed beside mechanical components and there is a risk of chafing, usecable clamps to properly support the wires.For this purpose, no cable binders must be used as, during maintenance and / or repair work,the binders can be removed but not installed a second time.Spare parts shall be properly stored prior to replacement, i.e. particularly protected against moisture. Defectiveelectronic components and assemblies must be suitably packed when dispatched for repair, i.e. particularlyprotected against moisture and impact and wrapped in antistatic foil if necessary.

    Working with laser equipmentWhen working with laser equipment, always wear special laser-protection goggles.Laser equipment can generate extremely intensive, concentrated radiation by the effect of stimulated emissionin the range of visible light or in the infrared or ultraviolet spectral range. The photochemical, thermal andoptomechanical effects of the laser can cause damage. The main danger is irreparable damage to the eyes.Laser equipment must be fitted with the protective devices necessary for safeoperation according to type and application.For conducting light-beam procedures and measurement work, only the following laser devices must be used:

    Laser devices of classes 1, 2 or 3A, Laser devices of class 3B, which have maximum output in the visible wavelength range (400 to 700 nm), a

    maximum output of 5 mW, and in which the beam axis and surface are designed to prevent any risk to the eyes.

    Operation of electrical equipmentWhen operating electrical equipment, certain components of this equipment are live.Noncompliance with the warning instructions given for this equipment may result inserious injury or damage to property.

  • Safety 1 07

    1.5 Auxiliary materials, fire prevention and environmentalprotection

    Fire preventionRectify any fuel or oil leaks immediately; even splashes of oil or fuel on hot components can cause fires -therefore always keep the engine in a clean condition. Do not leave cloths soaked with fluids and lubricantslying around on the engine. Do not store combustible materials near the engine.Do not carry out welding work on pipes and components carrying oil or fuel. Beforewelding, clean with a non-combustible fluid.When starting the engine with a foreign power source, connect the ground lead last and remove it first.To avoid sparks in the vicinity of the battery, connect the ground lead from the foreign power sourceto the ground lead of the engine or to the ground terminal of the starter.Always keep suitable fire-fighting equipment (fire extinguishers) at hand and familiarize yourself with their use.NoiseNoise can lead to an increased risk of accident if acoustic signals, warning shouts orsounds indicating danger are drowned.At all workplaces with a sound pressure level over 85 dB (A), always wear ear protectors(protective wadding, plugs or capsules).Environmental protectionDispose of used fluids, lubricants, materials and filters in accordance with local regulations.Manipulation of the injection control system can influence the engine performance and exhaust emissions.As a result, compliance with environmental regulations may no longer be guaranteed.Only fuels of the specified quality required to achieve emission limits must be used (MTUFluids and Lubricants Specifications A001061/...).In Germany, the VAwS (= regulations governing the use of materials that may affect water quality) is applicable,which means work must only be carried out by authorized specialist companies (MTU is such a company).Auxiliary materialsUse only fluids and lubricants that have been tested and approved by MTU.Fluids and lubricants must be kept in suitable, properly designated containers. When using fluids, lubricants andother chemical substances, follow the safety instructions applicable to the product. Take care when handling hot,chilled or caustic materials. When using flammable materials, avoid sparks and flames and do not smoke.

    Natural gasNote safety data sheet.Caution: Highly flammable gas, forms an explosive mixture with air/oxygen!Caution: Weak narcotic gas, risk of suffocation at very high concentration!All gas-carrying lines must be checked for leaks prior to commissioning and at regular intervals during operation.Procedure in the case of accidental release of combustible gas:

    Close off point of gas escape! Remove ignition sources! Close off danger zone. Ensure sufficient ventilation! Do not enter danger zone before measurements have confirmed that gas concentration is not hazardous.

    Lead When working with lead or lead-containing pastes, avoid direct contact to the skin and do not inhale lead vapors. Adopt suitable measures to avoid the formation of lead dust! Switch on fume extraction system. After coming into contact with lead or lead-containing materials, wash hands!

    Acids and alkaline solutions When working with acids and alkalis, wear protective goggles or face mask, gloves and protective clothing. Immediately remove clothing wetted by acids and alkalis! Rinse injuries with plenty of water!

    M015635/00E 04-12 MTU

  • 1 08 Safety

    Rinse eyes immediately with eyedrops or clean tap water.

    Paints When painting anywhere other than in spray booths equipped with extractors, ensure good

    ventilation. Make sure that adjacent work areas are not affected. No naked flames! No smoking. Observe fire prevention regulations! Wear masks providing protection against paint and solvent fumes.

    Liquid oxygen Liquid oxygen is highly combustible. Liquid oxygen should only be stored in small quantities and in regulation containers (without fixed seals)! Do not bring liquid oxygen in contact with the body (hands), as this causes frostbite and possibly the loss of tissue. No smoking, no naked flames, risk of explosion! Excessive oxygen in the air leads to explosive combustion. Do not store combustible substances, e.g. oils and greases, within 5 m of the working area! Under no circumstances should clothing be oily or greasy. Do not allow vapors to penetrate clothing! Oxygen enrichment in fabric can cause

    working clothes to ignite suddenly! After working with liquid oxygen, do not smoke until clothing is free of vapors! Avoid all hard knocks and impacts when working with liquid oxygen.

    Liquid nitrogen Store liquid nitrogen only in small quantities and always in regulation containers without fixed covers. Do not bring liquid nitrogen in contact with the body (eyes, hands), as this causes frostbite and the loss of tissue. Wear protective clothing, including gloves, closed shoes and protective goggles! Ensure that the room is well ventilated. Nitrogen concentration exceeding 88% of

    breathing air leads to suffocation. Avoid all knocks and jars to the containers, fixtures or workpieces.

    Compressed airCompressed air is air compressed at excess pressure and is stored in vessels from which it can be extracted.The pressure at which the air is kept can be read off at pressure gauges which must be connectedto the compressed air vessels and the compressed air lines.When working with compressed air, safety precautions must be constantly observed:

    Pay special attention to the pressure level in the compressed air network and pressure vessel! Devices and equipment connected must either be designed for this pressure or, if the permitted

    pressure for the connected elements is lower than the pressure required, a pressure reducingvalve and safety valve (set to permitted pressure) must form an intermediate connection. Hosecoupling and connections must be securely attached!

    Always wear protective goggles when blowing off tools or chips! The snout of the air nozzle should be provided with a protective disc (e.g. rubber disc), which prevents

    air-borne particles being deflected and thereby prevents injury to eyes. First shut off compressed air lines before compressed air equipment is disconnected from the

    supply line or before equipment or tools are exchanged! Unauthorized use of compressed air, e.g. forcing flammable liquids (hazard class AI, AII

    and B) out of containers, carries the risk of explosion! Forcing compressed air into thin-walled containers (e.g. containers made of tin, plastic and glass)

    for drying purposes or to check for leaks, results in a risk of shattering! Do not use compressed air to clean contaminated clothing whilst it is being worn. Even compressed air at low pressure penetrates clothing and, if the jet is directed at the back,

    the air can enter the anal cavity and fatally rupture the intestines!

    Used oilUsed oil may contain health-threatening combustion residues.Rub barrier cream into hands!Wash hands after contact with used oil.

  • Maintenance 4 01

    4.1 Preface

    GeneralLow operating and maintenance costs as well as operational reliability and availability depend onmaintenance and servicing being carried out in compliance with MTUs specifications and instructions.The overall system, of which the engine is an integral part, must be maintained in such a way as toensure trouble-free engine operation. For this purpose always ensure:

    that sufficient fuel of specified quality is available that the combustion air is dry and clean that sufficient coolant and heating water of specified quality is available

    Preventive maintenance instructions: Special care should be taken to keep the machinery plant in a clean and serviceable condition at all

    times to facilitate detection of possible leaks and prevent subsequent damage. Protect rubber and synthetic parts from oil and fuel, never treat with organic detergents, only wipe with dry cloth. Always replace all seals and gaskets.

    Our Service partner will always be available should assistance be required.

    MTU maintenance conceptThe MTU maintenance concept is a preventive maintenance concept. Preventive maintenancepermits advance operational planning and increases availability.The maintenance schedule refers to the load profile/load factor specified below. The time intervalsat which the maintenance work is to be carried out, and the relevant checks and tasks involved, areaverage results based on operational experience and therefore represent guidelines only. Specificoperating conditions may require modifications to the Maintenance Schedule.

    NoteThe maintenance task matrix covers all tasks up to extended component maintenance. After extended componentmaintenance, the maintenance tasks must continue to be performed in accordance with the specified schedule.The task number quoted in the task list also appears on the spare parts tag and servesas a cross-reference to the parts required.The specification of fluids and lubricants, guidelines for maintenance and change intervals as well as a list ofapproved fluids and lubricants are provided in the MTU Fluids and Lubricants Specification A001061 and thecomponent manufacturers fluids and lubricants specifications. Use only fluids and lubricants which comply with theMTU Fluids and Lubricants Specifications / are approved by the relevant component manufacturer.The user/customer must perform the following additional maintenance tasks:

    Gas filter:Maintenance depends on gas quality (purity). Gas filters upstream of the engine mustbe regularly cleaned and renewed if necessary.

    Battery:Maintenance depends on load and ambient conditions of the batteries. The specificationsof the battery manufacturer are binding.

    Out-of-service periodsIf the engine is to remain out of service for more than 1 month, carry out engine preservation proceduresaccording to the Fluids and Lubricants Specifications, MTU Publication No. A001061.
