1.2 SAFETY/CAUTION/WARNINGS

ATTENTION: This engine has components and
fluids that reach very high operating temperatures
and is provided with moving pulleys and belts.
Approach with caution. It is the responsibility of the
builder of the machine, using a Clarke engine, to
optimize the application in terms of maximum end
user safety.
BASIC RULES
The following recommendations are given to reduce
the risk to persons and property when an engine is in
service or out of service.
Engines must not be used for applications other than
those declared under "Scope of Supply".
Incorrect handling, modifications, and use of non-
original parts may affect safety. When lifting the
engine, take care to use suitable equipment to be
applied to the points specially provided as shown on
the appropriate Engine Installation Drawing. Engine
weights are shown in figure #4.
Figure #2 shows the typical lifting arrangement of a
bare engine. Note the lifting points on the engine are
for lifting the engine only. Caution, when lifting, lift
point should always be over the equipment Center of
Gravity.
Figure #2
Figure #3 shows the typical lifting arrangement of a
base mounted engine and pump set when the base (or
module) is furnished with lifting holes.
When Clarke furnishes the base (or module) for the
engine and pump set, the combined weight of the
engine and base (or module) will be indicated on the
unit. Caution, when lifting, lift point should always
be over the equipment Center of Gravity.
Note: The engine produces a noise level exceeding
70 dB(a). When performing the weekly functional
test, it is recommended that hearing protection be
