Use of the approved fluids and lubricants, either under the brand name or in accordance with the

specifications given in this publi

cation, constitutes part of the warranty conditions.

The supplier of the fluids and lubricants is responsible for the worldwide standard quality of the named products.

Fluids and lubricants for driv

e plants may be hazardous materials. Certain regulations must be

obeyed when handling, storing and disposing of these substances.

These regulations are contained in the manufacturers’ instructions, legal requirements and technical guidelines

valid in t he individual countries. Great differences can apply from country to country and a generally valid guide

to applicable regulations for fluids and lubricants is t herefore not possible within this publication.

Users of the products named in these specifications are therefore obliged to inform themselves

of the locally valid regulations. MTU accepts no responsibility whatsoever for improper or illegal

use of the fluids and lubricants which it has approved.
