1. About this manual
This document applies to the software version stated on the title page.
Devices of the TITANTEST™ Production Series (P-Series) have a particularly
large capacity oil mist filter as well as an external oil drain fitting. This allows
the user to change the oil without removing the cover.
Some features are not available on the TITANTEST™ Maintenance Series (M-Se-
ries) and are indicated in the text of the manual.
Documents for other software versions are available from our sales depart-
ment. For the latest software version contact Laco Technologies.
1.1 Target groups
