Important instructions which concern technical safety and protection of persons are emphasised as shown
below.
Danger:
This refers to working and operating procedures which must be complied with in order to rule out
the risk to persons.
Caution:
This refers to working and operating procedures which must be complied with in order to prevent
damage to or destruction of material.
Note:
Explanatory descriptions which help in understanding the relevant work or operating procedure to
be carried out.
Assembly of pipes
Danger:
No pipes may be bent.
Risk of breakage!
Fitting flat seals / gaskets
Flat seals / gaskets are often inserted with sealing agents or adhesives to make fitting them easier or to
achieve better sealing. Flat seals may slip in operation due to the “sewing -machine” effect, in particular if
they are used between parts with different rates of linear expansion under heat (e.g. aluminium and cast
iron), and leaks may then occur.
Example:
The cap of the front crankshaft seal. If a sealing agent or an adhesive is used here the flat seal will move
inwards in the course of time as a result of the different expansion rates of the materials. Oil will be lost, for
which the shaft seal may be thought to be responsible.
Flat seals / gaskets can be fitted properly only if the following points are observed:
D Use only genuine MAN seals / gaskets
D The sealing faces must be undamaged and clean
D Do not use any sealing agent or adhesive − as an aid to fitting the seals a little grease can be used if
necessary so that the seal will stick to the part to be fitted
D Tighten bolts evenly to the specified torque
Fitting round sealing rings
D Use only genuine MAN round sealing rings
D The sealing faces must be undamaged and clean
D Always wet round sealing rings with engine oil before fitting them
The type designation, consisting of a sequence of letters and numbers, indicates some characteristics of
each engine, provided you are familiar with the basic terminology.
The system is explained here using the type E 2842 LE 302 / E 2842 LE 312 as an example:
EThe “E” at the start of the type designation stands for natural gas (German: Erdgas)
28The numbers “28” indicate that this is a power unit with 128 mm bore
4The “4” means 142 mm stroke
2The “2” indicates the number of cylinders 12
LThis letter stands for “charge-air cooling” (German: Ladeluftkühlung)
EThe “E” stands for “fitted engine” (German: Einbaumotor) and is intended to distinguish MAN
vehicle engines
302This is a factory-internal development number.

Safety regulations
General
Important safety regulations are summarized in this quick-reference overview and arranged by topic to effectively convey the knowledge necessary to avoid accidents causing injury, damage or environmental hazard. Additional information can be found in the operating instructions of the engine.
Important:
Should an accident occur despite all precautionary measures, particularly one involving contact with corrosive acid, penetration of fuel under the skin, scalding by hot oil, antifreeze splashing into the eyes etc. you
must seek medical assistance immediately.
1. Regulations for the prevention of accidents with personal injury
Inspection, adjustment and repair work may only be performed by authorised and skilled personnel.
D The engine may only be started and operated by authorised personnel.
D When the engine is running, do not get too close to the rotating parts.
Wear close-fitting clothing.
D Do not touch hot engine with bare hands: Risk of burns.
D Keep area surrounding engine, ladders and stairways free of oil and grease. Accidents
caused by slipping can have serious consequences.
D Only work with tools which are in good condition. Worn spanners/wrenches slip: Danger
of injury.
D Persons must not stand under an engine suspended on a crane hook. Keep lifting gear
in order.
D Open the coolant circuit only when the engine has cooled down. If it is unavoidable that
the circuit be opened with the engine at operating temperature, observe the instructions
in the chapter “Maintenance and care” in the operating instructions.
D Do not tighten or undo pipes and hoses under pressure (lubricating oil circuit, coolant
circuit and any downstream hydraulic oil circuits). The fluids which flow out can cause
injury.
