Page 17 Safety Introduction Turbochargers manufactured by ABB Turbo Systems are state of the art and comply with the pertinent safety and health-protection requirements that applied when the turbocharger was manufactured. Consequently, the turbocharger is safe to operate. Nevertheless, during turbocharger opera- tion and when working on the turbocharger, residual risks can exist which: ...
Warning plates on the turbocharger Page 19 Warning plates on the turbocharger Warnings that have been attached to turbochargers by ABB Turbo Sys- tems must not be removed. Illegible warnings must be replaced with new ones. Further information is available from ABB Turbocharging service stations.

Wear safety gloves against thermal risks. Hot surfaces on uninsulated turbochargers Uninsulated turbochargers can cause serious personal injuries (burns). The turbocharger is supplied by ABB Turbo Systems without insulation WARNING depending on the order from the engine builder. In this case, the engine builder is responsible for insulating the turbocharger properly or for providing protection against hot surfaces being touched.
Heed any country-specific regulations. Periodic checking of the pressure vessel The pressure vessels used by ABB Turbo Systems, such as those for wet or dry cleaning, are so-called "simple pressure vessels". The local, statutory regulations covering periodic checks of pressure vessels must be observed.

If oily liquid continues to escape after this period, an oil leak must be suspected. The first step is to check for leakage of the oil NOTICE supply to the turbocharger. If this is leaky, contact an official ABB Tur- bocharging service station. 3.2.4 Inspection after 100 service hours Clean or replace lubricating oil filters after the first 100 service hours.
Despite observance of the service intervals, unusual loads, such as several start-stops a day, harsh environmental factors, poor fuel quality CAUTION or heavy installation vibration can lead to premature machine damage. A shortened service interval must be arranged with ABB Turbo Sys- tems. Service inspection after 5 years...
