Preface

MTU maintenance concept

The maintenance system for MTU products is based on a preventive maintenance concept. Preventive maintenance
facilitates advance planning and ensures a high level of equipment availability.
The maintenance schedule is based on the load profile / load factor specified below. The time intervals at which
the maintenance work is to be carried out and the relevant checks and tasks involved are average values based on
operational experience and are therefore to be regarded as guidelines only. Special operating conditions and technical
requirements may require additional maintenance work and/or modification of the maintenance intervals. In order to
be authorized to carry out the individual maintenance jobs, maintenance personnel must have achieved a level of
training and qualification appropriate to the complexity of the task in hand. The various Qualification Levels QL1 to QL4
reflect the levels of training offered in MTU courses and the contents of the tool kits required:
QL1: Operational monitoring and maintenance which can be carried out during a break in operation without disassembling the engine.
QL2: Component exchange (corrective only).
QL3: Maintenance work which requires partial disassembly of the engine.
QL4: Maintenance work which requires complete disassembly of the engine.
The maintenance schedule matrix normally finishes with extended component maintenance. Following this,
maintenance work is to be continued at the intervals indicated.
The numbers stated in the list of jobs provide a reference to the scope of parts required.

Notes on maintenance
Specifications for fluids and lubricants, guideline values for their maintenance and change intervals and lists of
recommended fluids and lubricants are contained in the MTU Fluids and Lubricants Specifications A001061 and in the
fluids and lubricants specifications produced by the component manufacturers. They are therefore not included in the
maintenance schedule (exception: deviations from the Fluids and Lubricants Specifications). All fluids and lubricants
used must meet MTU specifications and be approved by the relevant component manufacturer.
Amongst other items, the operator/customer must carry out the following additional maintenance work:
Protect components made of rubber or synthetic material from oil. Never treat them with
organic detergents. Wipe with a dry cloth only.
Fuel prefilter:
The maintenance interval depends on how dirty the fuel is. The paper inserts in fuel prefilters
must be changed every two years at the latest (Task 9998).
Battery:
Battery maintenance depends on the level of use and the ambient conditions. The battery
manufacturers instructions must be obeyed.
The relevant manufacturers instructions apply with respect to the maintenance of any components
which do not appear in this maintenance schedule.
This Maintenance Schedule may include components which are not installed on your engine; these may be disregarded.

Out-of-service periods
If the engine is to remain out of service for more than 1 month, carry out engine preservation procedures in accordance
with the Fluids and Lubricants Specifications, MTU Publication No. A001061.
