Only use the lifting eyes provided to lift the engine.
The eyebolts mounted at the driving end and on the gearbox must not be used for transporting plants
with flange-mounted gearboxes.
Only use transport and lifting devices approved by MTU.
Take the engine's center of gravity into account.
The engine must only be transported in installation position, max. permissible diagonal pull with flange-
mounted gearbox is 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 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.
