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).
Install the crankshaft locking device and the locking screws for the engine mounts prior to engine trans‐
portation.
Secure the engine against tilting during transport. In particular when going down inclines or ramps, the
engine must be secured against moving and tilting.
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.
