This summary is a compilation of the most important regulations. These are broken down into main
sections which contain the information necessary for preventing injury to persons, damage to property and
pollution. In addition to these regulations those dictated by the type of engine and its site are to be
observed also.
Important:
If, despite all precautions, an accident occurs, in particular through contact with caustic acids, fuel
penetrating the skin, scalding from hot oil, anti‐freeze being splashed in the eyes etc., consult a doctor
immediately.
1. Regulations designed to prevent accidents with injury to persons
During commissioning, starting and operation
D Before putting the engine into operation for the first time, read the operating instructions
carefully and familiarize yourself with the “critical" points. If you are unsure, ask your
MAN representative.
D For reasons of safety we recommend you attach a notice to the door of the engine
room prohibiting the access of unauthorized persons and that you draw the attention of
the operating personal to the fact that they are responsible for the safety of persons
who enter the engine room.
D The engine must be started and operated only by authorized personnel.
Ensure that the engine cannot be started by unauthorized persons.
D When the engine is running, do not get too close to the rotating parts. Wear close‐fitting
clothing.
D Do not touch the engine with bare hands when it is warm from operation − risk of burns.
D Exhaust gases are toxic. Comply with the instructions for the installation of MAN Diesel
engines which are to be operated in enclosed spaces. Ensure that there is adequate
ventilation and air extraction.
3
Safety regulations
D For safety reasons a separate, functioning red emergency‐stop‐button for each
engine must be installed at every bridge (the engine must stop immediately when
the button is pressed once).
D Electrical accessories and equipment from other manufactures may only be
connected without the approval of MAN to the connections provided for the customer or shipyard.
The control of the engine may be adversely affected and thus may lead to property
damage or personal injury and is therefore not permitted.
MAN assumes no liability for any property damage or personal injury.
Connections to the following MAN components are prohibited:
−EDC engine control unit (K−Line, CAN−Bus)
−MAN internal or external throttle lever control system (CAN−Bus)
−Emergency steering control (serial, CAN−Bus)
−Display systems for alarms (serial, CAN−Bus)
Approved connectors on terminal box: X4, X8 and X9.
D Keep vicinity of engine, ladders and stairways free of oil and grease.
Accidents caused by slipping can have serious consequences.
During maintenance and care
D Always carry out maintenance work when the engine is switched off.
If the engine has to be maintained while it is running, e.g. changing the elements of
change‐over filters, remember that there is a risk of scalding. Do not get too close to
rotating parts.
D Change the oil when the engines is warm from operation.
Caution:
There is a risk of burns and scalding. Do not touch oil drain plugs or oil filters with bare
hands.
D Take into account the amount of oil in the sump. Use a vessel of sufficient size to
ensure that the oil will not overflow.
D Open the coolant circuit only when the engine has cooled down.
If opening while the engine is still warm is unavoidable, comply with the instructions in
the chapter entitled “Maintenance and Care".
D Neither tighten up nor open pipes and hoses (lube oil circuit, coolant circuit and any
additional hydraulic oil circuit) during the operation.
The fluids which flow out can cause injury.
D Fuel is inflammable. Do not smoke or use naked lights in its vicinity. The tank must be
filled only when the engine is switched off.
D Keep service products (anti‐freeze) only in containers which can not be confused with
drinks containers.
D Comply with the manufacturer’s instructions when handling batteries.
Caution:
Accumulator acid is toxic and caustic. Battery gases are explosive.

Safety regulations
2. Regulations designed to prevent damage to engine and premature wear
Do not demand more from the engine than it is able to supply in its intended application. Detailed
information on this can be found in the sales literature.
If faults occur, find the cause immediately and have it eliminated in order to prevent more serious damage.
Use only genuine MAN spare parts.
installation of other parts which are supposedly “just as good".
In addition to the above, note the following points:
D Never let the engine run when dry, i.e. without lube oil or coolant.
D When starting do not use any additional starting aids
D Use only MAN‐approved service products (fuel, engine oil, anti‐freeze and anti‐corrosion agent). Pay
attention to cleanliness. The Diesel fuel must be free of water. See “Fuels, Lubricants and Coolants ...".
D Have the engine maintained at the specified intervals.
D Today modern components of diesel injection consist of high‐precision parts which are exposed to
extreme stresses. The high‐precision technology requires the utmost cleanliness during all work on
the fuel system.
Even a particle of dirt over 0,2 mm can lead to the failure of components.
D Do not switch off the engine immediately when it is warm, but let it run without load for about 5 minutes
so that temperature equalization can take place.
D Never put cold coolant into an overheated engine. See “Maintenance and care".
D Do not add so much engine oil that the oil level rises above the max. marking on the dipstick.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible tilt of the engine.
Serious damage to the engine may result if these instructions are not adhered to.
D Always ensure that the testing and monitoring equipment (for battery charge, oil pressure, coolant
temperature) function satisfactorily.
MAN will accept no responsibility for damage resulting from the
(e.g. injection with starting pilot).
D It is advisable to switch off the engine if an alarm of any kind is displayed in the engine monitoring and
diagnostic system. If this is not possible for any reason, the engine should be run no faster than
1200 rpm until the fault is remedied, see Operating Instructions.
D Comply with instructions for operation of the alternator. See “Operating Instructions".
D Do not let the seawater pump run dry. If there is a risk of frost, drain the pump when the engine is
switched off.
5
Safety regulations
3. Regulations designed to prevent pollution
Engine oil and filter elements / cartridges, fuel / fuel filter
D Take old oil only to an old oil collection point.
D Take strict precautions to ensure that no oil or Diesel fuel gets into the drains or the ground.
Caution:
The drinking water supply could be contaminated.
D Filter elements are classed as dangerous waste and must be treated as such.
Coolant
D Treat undiluted anti‐corrosion agent and / or anti‐freeze as dangerous waste.
D When disposing of spent coolant comply with the regulations of the relevant local authorities.
4. Notes on safety in handling used engine oil ∗
Prolonged or repeated contact between the skin and any kind of engine oil decreases the skin. Drying,
irritation or inflammation of the skin may therefore occur. Used engine oil also contains dangerous
substances which have caused skin cancer in animal experiments. If the basic rules of hygiene and health
and safety at work are observed, health risks are not to the expected as a result of handling used engine
oil.
Health precautions:
D Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact with used engine oil.
D Protect your skin by means of suitable agents (creams etc.) or wear protective gloves.
D Clean skin which has been in contact with engine oil.
−Wash thoroughly with soap and water. A nailbrush is an effective aid.
−Certain products make it easier to clean your hands.
−Do not use petrol, Diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or solvents as washing agents.
D After washing apply a fatty skin cream to the skin.
D Change oil‐soaked clothing and shoes.
D Do not put oily rags into your pockets.
Ensure that used engine oil is disposed of properly
− Engine oil can endanger the water supply −
For this reason do not let engine oil get into the ground, waterways, the drains or the sewers. Violations are
punishable.
Collect and dispose of used engine oil carefully. For information on collection points please contact the
seller, the supplier or the local authorities.

high‐pressure side of the common rail system (injection line from the high‐pressure
pump to the rail, on the rail and on the cylinder head to the injector)
−Keep away from the engine when it is running
D Risk of injury!
When the engine is running the lines are constantly under a fuel pressure of up
to 1600 bar.
−Wait at least a minute until the pressure in the rail has dropped before loosening a
screw connection
−If necessary check the pressure drop in the rail with MAN‐Cats
D Risk of injury!
−People with pacemaker must keep at least 20 cm away from the running engine.
−Do not touch live parts on the electric connection of the injectors when the engine is
running.

Safety regulations
Cleanliness
Today modern components of diesel injection consist of high‐precision parts which are exposed to extreme
stresses. The high‐precision technology requires the utmost cleanliness during all work on the fuel
system.
Even a particle of dirt over 0,2 mm can lead to the failure of components.
The measures described as follows are therefore essential before work begins:
Risk of damage from penetration of dirt!
D Before working on the clean side of the fuel system clean the engine and the engine
compartment. During cleaning the fuel system must be closed.
D Carry out visual inspection for any leakage or damage to the fuel system
D Do not spray the high‐pressure cleaner direct onto the electric components, or
alternatively keep them covered
D Do not carry out any welding or sanding work in the engine compartment during
maintenance / repair
D Avoid air movements (any swirling of dust when starting engines)
D The area of the still closed fuel system must be cleaned and dried with the aid of
compressed air
D Remove detached particles of dirt such as paint chippings and insulation material with a
suitable extractor (industrial type vacuum cleaner)
D Cover areas of the engine compartment from which dust particles could be detached
with clean foil
D Wash your hands and put on clean work clothes before starting the disassembly work
When carrying out the work it is essential to comply with the following measures:
8
Safety regulations
Risk of damage from penetration of dirt!
D When the clean side of the fuel system has been opened it is not permissible to use
compressed air for cleaning
D During assembly work loose dirt must be removed with the aid of suitable extractors
(industrial type vacuum cleaners)
D Use only fluff‐free cleaning cloths on the fuel system
D Clean tools and working materials before starting to work
D Only tools without any damage may be used (cracked chrome coatings)
D When removing and installing components do not use materials such as cloths,
cardboard or wood since these could shed particles and fine fibres
D If any paint chips/flakes off when connections are loosened (from possible over‐coating)
these chippings must be carefully removed before finally loosening the screw
connection
D The connection openings of all parts removed from the clean side of the fuel system
must be immediately closed up with suitable caps/stoppers
D These caps/stoppers must be packed protected from dust prior to use and after being
used once they must be disposed of
D Following this all the components must be carefully stored in a clean, closed container
D Never use used cleaning or testing liquids for these components
D New parts must not be removed from their original packing material until directly before
use
D Work on removed components may be carried out only at a workplace specially
equipped for it
D If removed parts are shipped always use the original packing material of the new part

Requirements of engine foundation
D The engine foundation in the ship must be designed to absorb propeller thrust in both directions and
transmit it to the hull.
D The weight of the drive line and all of the dynamic forces caused by rough seas must be safely
absorbed.
D Hull torsion caused by motion of the sea and load must not be transmitted to the engine. The contact
area between the engine foundation and the hull should be as large as possible.
D The engine foundation must run parallel with the lower edge of the engine base, so that the resilient
engine mounts are not tilted. Engines must not be mounted rigid to the foundation.

Engine mounting
Choosing suitable resilient mounts
The resilient mounts prevent the transfer of engine vibrations to the engine foundation and ship’s hull.
Due to the design of the engine with respect to:
−Total mass
−Centre of gravity of engine
−Distribution of forces to the engine bases
Several requirements have already been established for the design of the resilient engine mounts.
Depending on the arrangement of engine and gearbox (engine with flange mounted gearbox or a free−standing engine and gear box) and the alignment thereof, the following points are also to be taken into
account:
−Propeller force transferred to the engine foundation for engines with flange mounted gearboxes
−Easy height adjustment of the mounts
Due to these various requirements, the resilient mounts must be carefully adapted.
For this reason MAN has developed resilient mounts that are adapted in their design and their shore
hardness to the different types of drive lines.
The following pages gives the assignment of the different resilient mounts to the arrangement of the
engines and gearboxes and detailed information about the mounts.
The resilient mounts are included in the delivery depending on the order. The resilient mounts should
always be used. In no case should the engine be installed on the foundation without them.
Note:
The resilient engine mounts cannot compensate for vibrations caused by inadequate alignment of
the drive line or by vibrations from the propeller.

Engine room ventilation
Heating of the engine room
During operation, each engine transfers heat from its own hot surfaces into the air in the engine room
(convection), in a similar fashion to a radiator heating a room in a building. In addition, but to a much lesser
extent, radiated heat dissipates to the surroundings (radiant heat).
Both of these effects can heat up the engine room to such an extent, that temperature−sensitive
components (e.g. the electronics) can malfunction.
Temperature in the engine room
Caution:
The following equation provides a good rule of thumb for adequate engine room ventilation:
Engine room temperature = Ambient temperature + 15°C (max. 20°C)
Measured at the front and back of the engine room and at the air filters.
The max. permissible engine room temperature is 60_C.
The temperature in the engine room is essentially dependent on the following boundary conditions:
Outside air temperature
The outside air temperature depends on the climate in the area of operation of the ship and the prevailing
weather conditions. In the Mediterranean Sea area air temperatures of up to 40°C are to be expected and
in the Persian Golf up to 50°C can be reached.
Engine operating conditions
1) Maximum speed / cruising speed of the ship
Naturally, at full−load and high power outputs, the temperature of critical components (charge air pipes,
compressor housing, exhaust manifold) is at its highest and thus the heat output is at a maximum.
However, this effect is compensated by the high combustion air requirement of the engines and that of
the associated high rate of air exchange in the engine room.
Example: Two engines V12 − 1800 at 2300 rpm and full load with 2 x 6300 m3/h demand for combustion
air, corresponding to 3.5 m3/s. A typical engine room air volume of 50 m3 is thus replaced every 15
seconds. With adequately dimensioned air inlets and outlets the engine room temperature may not vary
significantly from that of the outside air.
2) Reduction of the maximum speed to crawling speed (e.g. to negotiate canals, waterways with speed
restrictions)
At low speeds and loads, the combustion air demand of the engines and thus the inflow of fresh air into
the engine room is very significantly reduced.
Example: Two engines V12 − 1800 with 2 x 750 m3/h combustion air requirement, corresponding to
0.20 m3/s at 1000 rpm and operation on the propellor curve.
The volume of air in the engine room is no longer replaced fast enough by external air flowing through
and can therefore quickly heat up. In addition, the hot engine components that were under full load
(charge air pipes, crankcase, oil pan) give up additional heat in the engine room.
In this operating phase it is thus necessary to provide forced air ventilation by means of fans.
22
Engine room ventilation
Air requirement and air pressure in engine room
The air admission into the engine room is ensured by the cross−section and the design of the air inlet
openings.
Air requirement per engine
Engine modelPower kW (HP)Speed rpmAir requirement m3/ h
V 8−1200882 (1200)23004100
V 12−1800 1324 (1800)23006300
The air requirements given in the table represent the combustion air requirement for each engine.
The air intake openings in the engine room have to be dimensioned to accept this volumetric flow.
Fans
Fans with large dimensions are required to ensure
that the entire engine room has a thorough
circulation of fresh air.
The following criteria will help you in selecting
effective fans:
1. Fans with
a 24V constant voltage power supply,
= 160 mm to 300 mm
2. Fans with
an alternating voltage supply from the ship’s
generator, 240V,
= 150 mm to 450 mm
Small fans attached to corrugated hoses are not
suitable as they do not provide a sufficient flow
rate and only guarantee a supply of fresh air in
their immediate vicinity.
Suction ventilators are recommended; these suck
the warm air out of the engine room so that fresh
air can flow in through the air inlet openings.
Note:
If the air pressure in the engine room
exceeds the surrounding atmospheric
pressure, vapours, oil mist, etc. can make
their way into the living quarters
accommodation on the ship and lead to
bad odours.
23
Air ducting, general
Engine room ventilation
The openings for the inlet and outlet of air are to
be arranged such that a purging affect is created,
i.e. the whole engine room is provided with a flow
of air.
Fresh air inlet to engine room
Fresh air should enter along the side of the hull at
as high a position as possible ahead of the engine
room.
À Direction of travel
Á Hoses to engine room
 Air baffle
It is possible to optimise the volume of the air flow
by shaping the air supply duct to optimum flow
effect and by utilising the air stream produced from
forward motion.
Caution:
Water spray and splash water must not be
allowed to reach the engines!
Water ingress would lead to the total loss
of the engine!

The free cross−section A of the air inlet is related

route. It is dimensioned according to the air
requirement of the engines in accordance with the
table on page 23.
Air should enter the engine room at as low a point
as possible between the ship’s sides and the
engines.
Air outlet from the engine room
The air outlet should be located opposite the inlet,
i.e. at the back of the engine room and as high as
possible.

Crane transport of the engine
Transporting drive line onto ship
Caution:
When working on the engine make sure to
not step on the engine cover À.
Use crane lifting equipment to lift engine.
Danger:
Using unsuitable lifting equipment that is
not strong enough for the load may result
in serious accidents/injury!
Make sure ropes and chains do not pull
crookedly on the crane hooks.
There are 4 crane hook lugs Á on the engine to be
used when lifting the engine without the gearbox
attached.
When lifting the engine with the gearbox attached,
use the engine’s two front crane hook lugs and the
other two on the gearbox Â.

Torsional−vibration analysis
The forces of gas and inertia from the engine can cause vibration of the entire drive line. In order to
determine the resonance in terms of position and strength and to avoid overstressing, a torsional−vibration
analysis is required.
This can be carried out by MAN for a fee. The requisite data are to be collected during the project phase in
the form of a questionnaire − "Questionnaire on torsional vibration calculation for ship’s drive line".
