Mercedes-Benz OM 924 LA Engine Operator Manual

The OM 924 LA is a diesel engine that powers cranes and other heavy machines. It's the part that has to start, run and hold its limits through a full shift. This manual is for the person who just took over a machine that came in without the book in the cab, and needs the daily checks and operating rules on paper.

What this manual helps you do

• Learn the engine description, so you know what you're running before the first start.
• Follow the steps for operating the engine, from commissioning through normal running.
• Check the points a daily walk-around should cover, using the maintenance schedule.
• Read the fault table to understand what a warning means before you decide to keep working.
• Verify the right fuels, lubricants and coolants for top-ups.

Who this is for

A fleet manager or rental company can put it on file with each machine, so every relief operator gets the same rules and routine checks. A buyer of a used crane gets the same benefit when the book never made it into the cab.
