4.1 HANDLING AND LIFTING
- Secure the engine using a lifting device (lifting
beam) of suitable capacity.
- Hook the lifting device to the points indicated
in the drawing.
- Before lifting, check the load’s centre of gravity.
Important
The dimensions of the brackets on the
fastening points have been specially
conceived to lift the engine and have not
been tested for lifting additional weights.
Do not lift the engine using different
methods from those described. Non-
observance of this requirement will
invalidate the insurance warranty from any
damages caused in this way.
4.2 STORING THE ENGINE (UNINSTALLED)
- If the engine is not to be used for extensive periods, check
the surroundings and the type of packaging and make
sure that they are suitable for correct storage.
If necessary, cover the engine with a protective sheet.
- Avoid storing the engine directly on the ground or in an
environment that is humid, exposed to bad weather or
close to sources of danger, including less visible ones,
such as high-voltage power lines etc.
- If the engine is not to be used for more than 1 month, it is
necessary to apply the protective measures that are valid
for 6 months (see “Protective treatment (first 6 months of
inactivity)”)
- If, after the first 6 months, the engine is still not to be
used, it is necessary to carry out a further measure to
extend the protection period (see “Protective treatment
(after 6 months of inactivity)”).
4.3 STORING THE ENGINE (INSTALLED)
If the engine has been installed on a machine and is not
due to be used for extensive periods, it is necessary to
carry out a few maintenance measures in order to ensure
it remains efficient and to protect its components. If the
engine is installed on the machine and is not to be used
for short periods of time, the following measures must be
carried out:
- Check the condition of the electrical contacts and protect
them, if necessary, using an anti-rust spray.
- Disconnect the battery.
- Empty the fuel tank to prevent the risk of fire.
- Remove the key from the dashboard and put it in a safe
place to avoid acts of vandalism.
- Lock the cabin and the cowls to prevent strangers getting
access.
If the engine is not to be used for more than 1 month, it is
necessary to apply protective measures that are valid for 6
months (see “Protective treatment”).
If, after the first 6 months, the engine is still not to be
used, it is necessary to carry out a further measure to
extend the protection period (see “Protective treatment”).
