Transport
Install the crankshaft locking device and the locking screws for the engine mounts prior to engine transporta-
tion.
Only use the lifting eyes provided to transport the engine.
Use only suitable transport and lifting gear.
Take the engine's center of gravity into account.
Transport the engine only in installation position: max. permissible diagonal pull 10 degrees.
Remove any loose parts from the engine.
Lift/lower the engine slowly. Ensure that lifting cables/chains do not touch the engine or any of its compo-
nents. Readjust lifting tackle as necessary.
If the engine is supplied with special aluminum foil packing: Lift the engine at the lifting eyes of the bearing
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 transporta-
tion (if applicable).
Secure the engine against tilting during transport. In particular when going down inclines or ramps, the en-
gine must be secured against moving and tilting.
Setting down the engine following transportation
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 down engines onto the oil pan unless expressly permitted by MTU on an engine-specific base.
