Engine installation Front end power take-off IMPORTANT! D1-13 engines only: Power take-off is not allowed. Front mounted universal bracket This universal bracket, with adjustable attachments, allows air conditioning compressors or hydraulic pumps etc. to be installed and operated. The kit con- tains the bracket and fittings.
Page 17
Engine Instillation Extra pulleys (power take-off) D2-55 and D2-75 IMPORTANT! D1-13 engines only: Power take-off is not allowed. Auxilliary equipment driven by the drive belt on the crankshaft of the engine increase the load on the crankshaft. Therefore it is important to review the po- sition and power requirement of the power take-off.

Engine installation D1-20, D1-30 and D2-40 NOTE! The maximum permissable torque shown in the figures can be applied for one pulley at a maxi- mum distance from the cylinder block corresponding to 4 pulleys or 3 spacers and one pulley. If several pulleys are to be used the permissable torque has to be divided so that torque limitations are not ex- ceeded.
Page 19
Engine Instillation Example - D1-30 - One pulley used The engine is a D1-30 and the direction of force for two auxiliaries is A=10° and B=120°. Maximum permissible torque for auxiliary A and B depends on the vector sum of their directions of force and their torque.
