Mercedes-Benz OM 460 LA Engine Maintenance Manual

The OM 460 LA is a diesel engine that powers cranes and other heavy machines, so when it's down, the whole unit is down. This manual is the care document for it. A fleet maintenance supervisor reaches for it when a unit is due for its next scheduled service and the intervals have to be checked against what the engine actually needs.

What this manual helps you do

• Plan each service using the maintenance categories and maintenance intervals.
• Change the engine oil and replace the filters in the order the manual lays out.
• Follow the maintenance work and additional work steps for each service level.
• Check for leak tightness and general condition, then sign it off on the confirmation pages.
• Record coolant renewals and completed services so every unit has a maintenance history on file.

Who this is for

A fleet maintenance supervisor at a crane rental company can use it to set up a repeatable service routine for every unit with this engine. A workshop mechanic can work from it at the bench, using the notes on maintenance work and the engine data card for reference.
