3 Engine installation

3.1 Engine and transmission combinations

The transmission system of marine engine changes depending
on the equipment chosen. Different configurations are
available:
Engines with inverter, indicated by the abbreviation HPE
-
followed by rated power (in HP). The inverters are
configured:
o in lineshaft (with centre distance or coaxial)
o with angled axis (A)
o with inversion of the axis (V)
Engines with stern drive, indicated by the abbreviation
-
HPEP followed by the rated power.
Engines with sail drive, indicated by the abbreviation HPE
-
followed by the rated power. The model name can be
followed by the initials SD (Saildrive).
With water-jet engines, indicated by the abbreviation HPE
-
followed by rated power. The model name can be
followed by the initials JD (JetDrive).
Work use engines are generically indicated with the
abbreviation HPEL followed by the rated power, regardless of
the transmission to which they are coupled.
The name of uncalibrated engines with power-rating (see
paragraph 2.6 - Power-rating for commercial use on page 5),
can be followed by the letter of the power rating at which the
engine has been calibrated (e.g. HPE 300-B indicates the
rating class B).

3.2 Engine Disassembling and Handling

At moment of receiving an HPE engine please check:
The integrity of the packaging: the wood box must be
-
integral; the engine must be fixed on the wood support
and secured to it.
The metal box sealed watertight containing the electronic
-
control unit. The set must be intact with no obvious signs
of breakage or tampering.
The engine wiring and any extension cables must be
-
integral with no cuts, the Amphenol® connectors
(between control unit and engine wiring) must be integral
and all the pins of the connector must be correctly
deformed.
The integrity of the instrument panel and the associated
-
wiring. The panel must be free from cosmetic defects.
The absence of spots or dripping due to leakage of
-
liquids.
At the presence of leakage or spots, check the
cause of the leak. The product may contain dripping
caused by the operation on the test bench.
Before shipping all engines are tested at the bench
and packed carefully. FNM® is not responsible for
damages caused by the carrier/transport company.
CHAIN
HOOK ON THE
ENGINE
Figure 1 – Engine lifting
Lift the engine exclusively with chain or lifting ropes of
adequate capacity. Make sure that the chain is sufficiently long
so that it doesn't to lean on lifting hooks with an angle greater
than 10°, as shown in Figure 1. Also make sure that the chain
does not damage the engine parts during lifting.
Do not apply additional weight to the engine
during its lifting! The hooks are designed to
support only the weight of the engine. In the
case of engines fitted with inverter, lift the
assembly also from the hook of the inverter.
Never stand underneath a raised engine with
chain and always check the maximum capacity
of the equipment used (hoist or forklift and
chain).
Make sure that when lifting the engine it always remains
perfectly level horizontally. Some engines requires the use of a
lifting bar (or a spacer) that appropriately distributes the chain
tension.
