Transportation
Lift the engine only with the lifting eyes provided.
Use only the transport and lifting equipment approved by MTU.
Take note of the engine center of gravity.
Transport the engine only in the installation position.
In the case of special packaging with aluminum foil, suspend the engine on the lifting eyes of the transport pallet or
transport with equipment for heavy loads (forklift truck).
Prior to transporting the engine, it is imperative to install transportation locking devices for crankshaft and engine
mounts.
Secure the engine against tilting during transportation. The engine must be especially secured against slipping or
tilting when going up or down inclines and ramps.
Setting the engine down after transportation
Place the engine only on an even, firm surface.
Ensure appropriate consistency and load-bearing capacity of the ground or support surface.
Never place an engine on the oil pan, unless expressively authorized by MTU on a case-to-case basis to do so.
Working with laser equipment
When working with laser equipment, always wear special laser-protection goggles.
Laser equipment can generate extremely intensive, concentrated radiation by the effect of stimulated emission in
the range of visible light or in the infrared or ultraviolet spectral range. The photochemical, thermal and
optomechanical effects of the laser can cause damage. The main danger is irreparable damage to the eyes.
Laser equipment must be fitted with the protective devices necessary for safe operation according to type and
application.
For conducting light-beam procedures and measurement work, only the following laser devices must be used:
Laser devices of classes 1, 2 or 3A,
Laser devices of class 3B, which have maximum output in the visible wavelength range (400 to 700 nm), a
maximum output of 5 mW, and in which the beam axis and surface are designed to prevent any risk to the eyes.
Engine operation
When the engine is running, always wear ear protectors.
Ensure that the engine room is well ventilated.
Mop up any leaked or spilt fluids and lubricants immediately or soak up with a suitable bonding agent.
Exhaust gases from combustion engines are poisonous. Inhalation of poisonous exhaust gases is a health hazard.
The exhaust pipework must be free of leaks and discharge the gases to atmosphere.
During engine operation, do not touch battery terminals, generator terminals or cables.
Inadequate protection of electrical components can lead to electric shocks and serious injuries.
When the engine is running, never release coolant, oil, fuel, compressed-air or hydraulic lines.
