Transport
1. Install the engine mount locking devices and the engine shipping lock prior to transportation (→ Page 22).
2. Remove the horizontal air filter prior to transport (→ Page 172).
3. Only use the lifting eyes provided to transport the engine (→ Page 19).
4. The exhaust gas aftertreatment system (SCR catalytic converter) must be transported separately. i.e. detach-
ed from the engine and without bypass.
5. Only use the lifting points provided to transport the SCR catalytic converter (→ Page 21).
6. Use suitable transport and lifting gear only.
7. The exhaust gas aftertreatment system / engine must only be transported in installation position: Max. ad-
missible diagonal pull 120° (→ Page 20) / 10° (→ Page 19).
8. Remove any loose parts on the exhaust gas aftertreatment system / engine.
9. Always raise/lower the exhaust gas aftertreatment system / engine slowly. The lifting ropes or chains must
not butt against the exhaust gas aftertreatment system / engine or its components during the lifting proce-
dure. Readjust lifting tackle as necessary.
10. For special packaging with aluminum foil: Suspend the engine by the lifting eyes on the bearing pedestal or
transport by means of handling equipment (forklift truck) capable of bearing the load.
11. Secure the exhaust gas aftertreatment system / engine against tipping during transportation. Secure such
as to preclude slipping and tipping when driving up or down inclines and ramps.
Placement after transport
1. Only set down the exhaust gas aftertreatment system / engine on a firm, level surface. The surface must not
have any buckles, steps / platforms and objects lying on it.
2. Make sure that the consistency and load-bearing capacity of the ground or support surface is adequate.
3. Never set the engine down on its oil pan unless expressly authorized to do so by MTU.
4. Set down the exhaust gas aftertreatment system in such a way than only the mounts, not the main body
touch the ground.
5. Do not set down the exhaust gas aftertreatment system in an inclined position to avoid damaging the system
and the mounts.
