[harrison987]

hey guys,

I have seen this stencil only on occasion.



Any ideas what it says? It is not the standard glycol/wasser warning.

TIA

Kühler im Haubenteil? That was for the G series.

Hey guys!

I know I can make out some of the letters...from these two cowling panels:

Vor…..en
Heide n(?)

"Vor Scheiden" maybe on the top line from the B&W posted above?







I am thinking this "may" reference something with the tropical intake?

Cannot find anything in the literature.

I believe the full inscription is
"Vor schließen der Haube Sandabscheider Klappen öffnen"

and yes, it's connected to the tropical intake.

kind regards,
Tomislav

I don't have a photo clearly showing the full inscription at hand now, but a large portion can be seen here:

I believe the full inscription reads:
Vor Schließen der Haube Sandabscheider Betätigungsgriff öffnen!
