2General Safety Instructions
This chapter provides information on residual risks and hazards during proper use of the engine.
The generally valid safety instructions to be observed are listed here. They provide optimum protection for
personnel 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 signifi
cant hazards.
2.1Intended 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 "non-intended".
MAN is not liable for any damage resulting from non-intended use. The risk is entirely borne by the opera
tor.
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.
Similarly, tampering with the control system can affect engine performance and emission characteristics.
Compliance with statutory environmental protection requirements is therefore no longer guaranteed.
DANGER
Danger due to non-intended use
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:
SUse the engine for its intended purpose only.
SUse the engine outside of hazardous areas where there is a risk of explosion.
SUse the engine with an overspeed limiting device installed.
User tip
Observe the following information when operating the engine:
SThe safety instructions in these Operating Instructions and the suppliers' instructions.
SThe “Technical data" section in these instructions and the suppliers' instructions.
SCountry-specific regulations.
Carefully read these Operating Instructions before starting any work!

DANGER
Risk of injury due to moving parts
Rotating or linear moving parts can cause serious or fatal injuries.
For this reason:
SBefore starting engine check whether all protective equipment has been properly installed.
SRemove tools and aids out of the hazard area.
SBefore starting make sure that no-one is in the engine's danger area.
User tip
A starting sequence may consist of max. 3 successive starting attempts, each lasting
12 seconds.
If no engine speed signal is detected within 3 seconds, starting must be aborted.
There must be at least 30 seconds between 2 starting attempts.
There must be at least 5 minutes between 2 starting sequences.
The electronic ignition system is a high-voltage capacitor ignition system with microprocessor control based
on crankshaft revolutions.
The ignition system must be parameterised before commissioning. For further information please refer to
the operating manual of the ignition system and to the assembly instructions.
Turn on coolant pump before starting engine.
Turn on starter and run for at least 3 seconds to ensure engine is purged with air.
After purging engine with air the ignition system and the gas supply line can be turned on (this is usually
done automatically).
Carefully read these Operating Instructions before starting any work!

This is especially valid for the chapter on General Safety Instructions
and the safety instructions in each of the chapters.
Operation
When the rated speed has been reached, the plant can then be operated under load.
Acceleration of the engine from 0% to 100% is made over a time interval of 3 minutes.
This minimises the thermal load on the engine block.
The oil gauge must display lubrication oil pressure. If this is not the case, stop the engine immediately.
7.4.2Operation monitoring system
NOTE
Engine overload
Engine damage
For this reason:
SDetermine and eliminate the cause of faults and malfunctions.
The oil pressure and the coolant temperature are constantly monitored during engine operation.
If the limits are exceeded or not reached, the engine will be automatically shut off.
7.4.3Emergency shutdown
An emergency-off button, for shutting down the system in an emergency, must be installed for each engine.
7.4.4Stopping
The load is reduced by means of ramp control from 100% to 0% over a period of at least 3 minutes, thus
minimising the thermal load on the engine block.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to highly inflammable materials
Unburnt gases can catch fire.
For this reason:
SIf there is damage to the engine shutoff device, do not shut off engine by shutting off ignition system.
SClose main gas valve.
STurn off ignition system after engine is at a standstill.
SEnsure that the engine cannot be started by unauthorised persons.
User tip
The coolant pump will run on for approx. 5 minutes after engine has stopped.
This minimises the thermal load on the engine block.
1. Shut off gas supply.
2. The engine stops running.
3. After waiting 5 seconds, turn off ignition system
and control system.

Decommissioning and recommissioning
10.3 Temporary decommissioning of an engine
Temporary anticorrosion protection according to MAN Works Standard M 3069 is required if an engine is
decommissioned, depending on the duration.
The Works Standard can be obtained from our After-Sales Service department at the Nuremberg plant.
User tip
A proper and careful recommissioning of new or operated engines has a great impact on the operating
safety and remaining life of the engines.
In general the goal is to preserve the decommissioned engines or new engines (after the factory tests).
If the engine is not preserved before decommissioning, there is a risk of corrosion on the cylinder liners,
piston rings and valves, especially if the intake and exhaust openings are not closed and the engine is
stored in the open. Ingress of foreign matter, rainwater and the like may necessitate complete di
sassembly of the engine.

Decommissioning and recommissioning
10.4 Recommissioning of decommissioned engines
10.4.1 Commissioning of preserved engines to MAN Works Standard M 3069
1. Remove external preservation. Never use a high pressure cleaner for this.
2. Remove caps from intake and exhaust openings.
3. Check cooling system; add antifreeze according to the Fuels, Lubricants and Coolants list (see “Fuels,
Lubricants and Coolants..."); check concentration and correct.
4. Check engine oil level and add fresh approved engine oil if necessary.
5. Check the operation of the monitoring and emergency shut off equipment.
6. Check condition and proper installation of elastic fasteners, such as V-belts, coolant hoses and charge
air hoses. Retighten if necessary.
7. With the gas supply shut off, crank the engine with the starter until the oil is pressurised. Do not actuate
the starter for any more than 12 seconds.
8. Open gas supply and start engine. After engine is running, operate engine above idle speed to avoid
insufficient lubrication of the cylinder liners.
9. Check engine for leaks, unusual noises and observe the oil pressure and all temperatures. Increase en
gine speed in steps.
10.After a max. of 25 operating hours, drain preservation oil from engine and change oil filter; fill engine
with fresh approve engine oil.
10.4.2 Commissioning of non-preserved engines
In addition to the work steps for a preserved engine, the commissioning of a non-preserved engine requires
the following extra work depending on the possible non-use damages.
1. Check combustion chambers with an endoscope, to do this, remove/install spark plugs.
Check valve for easy movement; check valve clearance and adjust if necessary.
Replace any damaged/corroded parts.
2. Drain old oil from engine and change oil filter. Fill engine with fresh approved engine oil.
3. Check cooling system for corrosion; check coolant for proper concentration; if in doubt, change coolant.
Before adding new coolant , clean coolant chambers and remove/install coolant pump and thermostat if
necessary; replace the slide ring seal of the coolant pump and thermostat elements; pressure test coo
ling system.
4. Check clean air system, air filter and turbocharger for dirt and corrosion. Clean or repair if necessary.
5. Clean/check/replace gas filter.
