Transportation
1.
Install the locking screws for the engine mounts prior to engine transportation. Remove resilient mounts.
2.
Transport the engine by the lifting eyes provided (→ Page 21).
3.
Use suitable transport and lifting gear only.
4.
Transport the engine in the installation position only: max. admissible diagonal pull 10° (→ Page 21).
5.
Remove any loose parts on the engine.
6.
Raise and lower the engine slowly. Lifting cables/chains must not touch the engine or any of its component
parts when lifting. Readjust lifting gear as necessary.
7.
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.
8.
Secure the engine against tipping during transportation. Secure such as to preclude slipping and tipping
when driving up or down inclines and ramps.
Setting down an engine with standard oil pan after transportation
Note:
The engine may only be set down on the oil pan in exceptional cases and then by trained and qualified per-
sonnel only.
1.
Set down engine with standard oil pan (→ Page 47) on a firm, level surface only. The surface beneath the oil
pan must be free of any foreign bodies.
2.
Make sure that the consistency and load-bearing capacity of the ground or support surface is adequate.
Setting down an engine with mid sump oil pan after transportation
Note:
The engine may only be set down on the oil pan in exceptional cases and then by trained and qualified per-
sonnel only.
1.
Set down engine with mid sump oil pan (→ Page 47) on a firm, level surface only. The surface beneath the
oil pan must be free of any foreign bodies.
2.
Make sure that the consistency and load-bearing capacity of the ground or support surface is adequate.
3.
Set the engine down on the oil pan. Do not remove the lifting chains!
4.
Secure the engine by placing suitable wooden chocks under the engine mounting brackets leaving no clear-
ance (→ Page 19). During this procedure the engine must stand fully on the oil pan leaving the lifting chains
tensioned as a safety measure.
5.
The lifting chains may be removed once the engine has been secured such as to prevent it toppling over.
