1.3 Transportation
Transportation
Only use the lifting eyes provided to lift the engine.
Only use transport and lifting devices approved by MTU.
Take the engine's center of gravity into account.
Lift engines by approx. 10 mm and verify that the lifting ropes / chains between engine and lifting
equipment run vertically or in accordance with the specifications on the installation drawing.
If this is not the case, the lifting equipment must be re-adjusted.
The engine must only be transported in installation position, max. permissible diagonal pull 10°.
If the engine is supplied with special aluminum foil packing, lift the engine at the lifting eyes of the bear-
ing pedestal or use a means of transportation which is appropriate for the given weight (forklift truck).
Setting the engine down after transport
Only set down engine on a firm, level surface.
Make sure that the consistency and load-bearing capacity of the ground or support surface is adequate.
Never set an engine down on the oil pan unless expressively authorized to do so by MTU on a case-to-
case basis .
