Transport - MTU 20 V 4000 M73 x Operating Instructions Manual

1.7 Transport

Transport
Only use the lifting eyes provided to lift the engine.
The lifting eyes are designed for the transport of engine only, not for the transport of drive units (engine
and transmission).
Only use transport and lifting devices approved by MTU.
The engine must only be transported in installation position, max. permissible diagonal pull 10°.
Take the engine's center of gravity into account.
In the case of special packaging with aluminum foil, suspend the engine on the lifting eyes of the trans-
port pallet or transport with equipment for heavy loads (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. The engine must be especially secured against slip-
ping or tilting when going up or down inclines and ramps.
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 place an engine on the oil pan, unless expressively authorized by MTU on a case-to-case basis to
do so.
