Below is a summary of the risks involved and safety

precautions you should always observe or carry out

when operating or servicing the engine.

Immobilize the engine by turning off the power

supply to the engine at the main switch (switch-

es) and lock it (them) in the OFF position be-

fore starting work. Set up a warning notice at

the engine control point or helm.

As a general rule all service operations must be

carried out with the engine stopped. However,

some work, for example certain adjustments re-

quire that the engine is running when they are

carried out. Approaching an engine which is op-

erating is a safety risk. Loose clothing or long

hair can fasten in rotating parts and cause seri-

ous personal injury. If working in proximity of an

engine which is operating, careless movements

or a dropped tool can result in personal injury.

Take care to avoid contact with hot surfaces

(exhaust pipes, Turbocharger (TC), air intake

pipe, start element etc.) and hot liquids in lines

and hoses on an engine which is running or

which has just been stopped. Reinstall all pro-

tective parts removed during service operations

before starting the engine.

Check that the warning or information labels on

the product are always clearly visible. Replace

labels which have been damaged or painted

over.

Engines with turbocharger (TC): Never start the

engine without installing the air cleaner (ACL)

filter. The rotating compressor in the Turbo can

cause serious personal injury. Foreign objects

entering the intake ducts can also cause me-

chanical damage.

Never use start spray products or similar when

starting the engine. They may cause an explo-

sion in the inlet manifold. Danger of personal in-

jury.

Avoid opening the filler cap for engine coolant

system (freshwater cooled engines) when the

engine is still hot. Steam or hot coolant can

spray out. Open the filler cap slowly and re-

lease the pressure in the system. Take great

care if a cock, plug or engine coolant line must

be removed from a hot engine. Steam or hot

coolant can spray out in any direction.

Hot oil can cause burns. Avoid getting hot oil on

the skin. Ensure that the lubrication system is

not under pressure before carrying out any

work. Never start or operate the engine with the

oil filler cap removed, otherwise oil could be

ejected.

Stop the engine and close the sea cock before

carrying out operations on the engine cooling

system.

Only start the engine in a well-ventilated area. If

operating the engine in an enclosed area ensure

that there is exhaust ventilation leading out of

the engine compartment or workshop area to

remove exhaust gases and crankcase ventila-

tion emissions.
