Uncrate Procedure for a New, Rebuilt, or Overhauled Engine

NOTICE: If the engine is to be stowed, refer to the chapter "Engine Preservation and Storage" in

this manual.

1. When the engine is received, make sure that the shipping container or box is not damaged. If the

engine crate is damaged, speak to Lycoming's Service Department and the freight shipper.

A. These engines are usually sent in a box where the engine is attached to a pallet within the

box. The engine can be in a plastic bag or wrapped and it could have a top foam pillow.

URETHANE FOAM IS FLAMMABLE! DO NOT PUT URETHANE FOAM

NEAR OPEN FLAMES OR ANY OTHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT HIGH

TEMPERATURE SOURCE OF IGNITION SUCH AS WELDING,

BURNING, ETC.

2. If the crate is acceptable, remove the engine from the crate. To uncrate the engine:

A. Cut the bands on the box.

B. If there are staples at the bottom perimeter around the box, remove the staples and lift away

the box. If there are no staples on the bottom perimeter of the box, cut the tape at the top of

the box with a knife and open the box.

C. Remove a few top slats of the crate and then remove the top pillow.

D. Look for any fluid (oil or fuel) on the skid or below the engine. If fluid is found, identify the

source.

E. If the leaked fluid is preservative oil, examine each engine cylinder per the "Engine

Preservation - 61 to 180 Days" section in the "Engine Preservation and Storage" chapter in

this manual.

Acceptance Check

1. Make sure that the engine serial number and model

number on the engine data plate (Figure 1) are the

same as specified in the engine logbook and on the

packing slip.

2. Examine the engine for damage or corrosion before

lifting. If the engine is damaged or has corrosion,

identify the areas of damage and corrosion. Speak to

Lycoming's Service Department and the Freight

Shipper.

NOTICE: Do not lift, install or store a damaged or corroded engine (prior to receiving instructions

from Lycoming Engines or the freight shipper).

3. If the engine is not damaged and is without corrosion, it can be installed or stored. If the engine

is to be installed within 5 days after uncrating, refer to the section "Step 1. Prepare the Engine" in

the "Requirements for Engine Installation" chapter.

4. Refer to the section "Lift the Engine" in this chapter and lift the engine.
