Abstract

A method of monitoring check valves (6) arranged in gas feed lines (5) of a gas engine includes determining a temperature (S1) according to which a signal transmitter is activated (S3) when a detected temperature in a gas feed line (5) lies outside of a first designated target range; and transmitting (S3) a signal which carries information indicating the gas feed line (5) in which the temperature lying outside of the first target range was detected and/or the cylinder (10) with which the gas feed line (5) is associated.
