Transport
Lift the engine only with the lifting eyes provided.
Use only the transport and lifting equipment approved by MTU.
Take note of the engine center of gravity.
The engine must only be transported in installation position, max. permissible diagonal pull 10°.
In the case of special packaging with aluminum foil, suspend the engine on the lifting eyes of the
transport pallet or transport with equipment for heavy loads (forklift truck).
Prior to transporting the engine, it is imperative to install transportation locking
devices for crankshaft and engine mounts.
Secure the engine against tilting during transport. The engine must be especially secured against
slipping or tilting when going up or down inclines and ramps.
Setting the engine down after transport
Place the engine only on an even, firm surface.
Ensure appropriate consistency and load-bearing capacity of the ground or support surface.
Never place an engine on the oil pan, unless expressively authorized by MTU on a case-to-case basis to do so.
