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.
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.
