2. Use lifting eyes provided for transporting the engine (→ Page 17).
3. Only use suitable transportation and lifting equipment.
4. The engine must only be transported in installation position (→ Page 17).
5. Remove any loose parts on engine.
6. Always raise/lower engine slowly. The lifting ropes or chains must not rub against the engine or its compo-
nents during the lifting procedure. Readjust lifting equipment as necessary.
7. For special packaging with aluminum foil: Attach engine to lifting eyes of bearing pedestal or transport with
means of transportation device suitable for the load (forklift truck).
8. Secure engine against tilting during transportation. Secure such as to preclude slipping and tipping when
driving up or down inclines and ramps.
Placement after transportation
1. Only set down engine on a firm, level surface.
2. Make sure that the consistency and load-bearing capacity of the ground or support surface is adequate.
3. Never set engine down on oil pan unless expressively authorized to do so by MTU on a case-to-case basis.
