Compressed air
• Unauthorized use of compressed air, e.g. forcing flammable liquids (hazard class AI, AII and B) out of con-
tainers, risks causing an explosion.
• Wear goggles when blowing off workpieces or blowing away chips.
• Blowing compressed air into thin-walled containers (e.g. containers made of sheet metal, plastic or glass)
for drying purposes or to check for leaks risks bursting them.
• Pay special attention to the pressure level in the compressed air network or pressure vessel.
• Assemblies or products which are to be connected must be designed to withstand this pressure. Install
pressure-reducing or safety valves set to the admissible pressure if this is not the case.
• Hose couplings and connections must be securely attached.
• Provide the snout of the air nozzle with a protective disk (e.g. rubber disk).
• Relieve residual pressure before removing compressed-air equipment from the supply line. To depressu-
rize compressed-air lines, shut off the lines first, then release the residual pressure.
• Perform leak testing in accordance with instructions.
Paints and lacquers

• Observe the relevant safety data sheet for all materials.
• When carrying out painting work outside the spray booths provided with fume extraction systems, ensure
that the area is well ventilated. Make sure that neighboring work areas are not impaired.
• Avoid open flames in the vicinity.
• No smoking.
• Observe fire prevention regulations.
• Always wear a mask providing protection against paint and solvent vapors.
Liquid nitrogen
• Work with liquid nitrogen may be carried out only by qualified personnel.
• 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.
• Make sure that working area is well ventilated.
• Avoid all knocks and jars to the containers, fixtures or workpieces.
Acids/alkaline solutions/urea (e.g. AdBlue®, DEF)

• When working with acids and alkaline solutions, wear protective goggles or face mask, gloves and protec-
tive clothing.
• Do not inhale vapors.
• If urea solution is swallowed, rinse out mouth and drink plenty of water.
• Remove any wet clothing immediately.
• Wash affected body areas with plenty of water after skin contact.
• Rinse eyes immediately with eyedrops or clean tap water after eye contact. Seek medical attention as
soon as possible.
TIM-ID: 0000040536 - 014

1.9 Fire prevention and environmental protection, fluids and
lubricants, auxiliary materials, specific information for
gaseous fuel supply in gaseous-fuel or dual-fuel applications
General notes on gas
Observe the information contained in the safety data sheet of the gas used. Consult with gas supplier/utility.
The gas used must comply with the (→ Fluids and Lubricants Specifications of the manufacturer).
Risk of poisoning due to hazardous impurities. The ingestion of even small quantities of hydrogen sulfide or
ammonia can be fatal.
Inhaling certain gases can be dangerous to life depending on concentration. Furthermore some gases can no
longer be detected by smell in higher concentrations.
Conduct in case of escaping gases:
• If safe to do so: Shut off main gas supply.
• If safe to do so: Execute an emergency stop.
• Cordon off danger zone.
• Ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Do not enter the hazard zone until it has been established (via measurement of the gas concentration with
a suitable gas detector) that the atmosphere is no longer hazardous.
Check all gas conveying lines for tightness prior to initial operation and at regular intervals during operation.
Natural gas (pipeline quality)

Highly flammable gas; forms an explosive mixture with air/oxygen.
Weakly narcotic gas; risk of suffocation at high concentrations.
Biogenic gases from fermentation processes

Highly flammable gas; forms an explosive mixture with air/oxygen.
Risk of poisoning due to hydrogen sulfide from the fermentation process. The ingestion of even small quanti-
ties of hydrogen sulfide can be fatal.
Weakly narcotic gas; risk of suffocation at high concentrations.
Biogenic gases have a tendency to segregate. In low-lying areas of the plant, carbon dioxide enrichment is
possible.

4.4 Control, starting and stopping sequences
NOTICE
Risk of engine damage due to incorrect action.
Risk of severe damage to property!
• Ensure engine is ready for operation before starting. See engine documentation.
Starting and stopping sequences

The starting sequence is software-controlled and depends on the place of start command input.
To ensure that no mixture is in the engine when ignition is switched on or off, which is a specific requirement
for gas engines, special procedures for engine start / stop are specified.
The maximum number of attempted starts is limited to three. After this, an extended scavenging phase is
initiated with the gas shut-off valves closed and the ignition off in order to purge the intake duct, engine cyl-
inders and exhaust duct (up to the exhaust turbine outlet elbow) with air. The operator shall ensure by means
of structural safeguards that flammable gases or vapors do not arise in hazardous quantities or concentra-
tions in the surroundings of the installation (gas pipework up to gas control valve and exhaust gas system
after turbine). A contact is designated to initiate such safety measures.
Starting sequence
The following steps are performed automatically when a start command is activated with the engine at stand-
still:
1. Setting start counter
2. Priming (optional)
3. Checking gas supply solenoid valves for leaks
4. Activating starter
5. Waiting for starting speed
6. Scavenging the engine
7. Ignition
8. Opening gas supply solenoid valves
9. Waiting for starter disengagement speed
10. Disengaging starter
11. Waiting for idling speed
12. Ramping-up to rated speed
