• Allow the engine to cool down before opening the crankcase!
• Avoid open flames, electrical sparks and ignition sources.
Safety instructions
u Before starting maintenance work, allow the engine to cool down for at least 10 min. (danger of explosion
due to oil vapors).
TIM-ID: 0000022931 - 006
Observe special cleanness when conducting maintenance and repair work on the assembly or system.
After completion of maintenance and repair work, make sure that no loose objects are in/on the assem‐
bly or system.
Before barring the engine, make sure that nobody is standing in the danger zone. Check that all guards
have been reinstalled and that all tools and loose parts have been removed after working on the engine.
The following additional instructions apply to starters with beryllium copper pinion:
• Breathing protection of filter class P2 must be applied during maintenance work to avoid health haz‐
ards caused by the beryllium-containing pinion. Do not blow out the interior of the flywheel housing or
the starter with compressed air. Clean the flywheel housing inside with a class H dust extraction de‐
vice as an additional measure.
When working with laser equipment, always wear special laser-protection goggles ⇒ Heavily focused ra‐
diation.
Laser equipment must be fitted with the protective devices necessary for safe operation according to
type and application.
Fire prevention
Rectify 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 lubri‐
cants lying on or near the assembly or unit. Do not store inflammable material near the assembly or unit.
Do not weld pipes and components carrying oil or fuel! Before welding, clean with a nonflammable fluid.
When starting the engine with an external 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 external power source to
the ground lead of the engine or to the ground terminal of the starter.
Always keep suitable firefighting equipment (fire extinguishers) at hand and familiarize yourself with their
use.
Noise
Noise can lead to an increased risk of accident if acoustic signals, warning shouts or noises indicating
danger are drowned.
Wear ear protectors in work areas with a sound pressure level in excess of 85 dB (A).
Keep fluids and lubricants in suitable, properly designated containers. When using fluids, lubricants and
other chemical substances, follow the safety instructions that apply to the product. Take special care
when using hot, chilled or caustic materials. When using flammable materials, avoid all sparks and do
not smoke.
Used oil
Used oil contains harmful combustion residues.
Rub barrier cream into hands.
Wash hands after contact with used oil.
Compressed air
Observe special safety precautions when working with compressed air:
• Pay special attention to the pressure level in the compressed air network and pressure vessel.
• Assemblies and equipment to be connected must either be designed for this pressure, or, if the per‐
mitted pressure for the connecting elements is lower than the pressure required, a pressure reducing
valve and safety valve (set to permitted pressure) must form an intermediate connection.
• Hose couplings and connections must be securely attached.
• Wear goggles when blowing off components or blowing away chips.
• Provide the snout of the air nozzle with a protective disk (e.g. rubber disk).
• First shut off compressed air lines before compressed air equipment is disconnected from the supply
line, or before equipment or tool is to be replaced.
• Unauthorized use of compressed air, e.g. forcing flammable liquids (danger class AI, AII and B) out of
containers, results in a 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 bursting.
• Carry out leak test in accordance with the specifications.
Liquid nitrogen
• Store liquid nitrogen only in small quantities and always in regulation containers without fixed covers.
• Avoid body contact (eyes, hands).
• Wear protective clothing, protective gloves, closed shoes and protective goggles / safety mask.
