For information regarding the center of gravity of the engine, refer to the installation/arrangement drawing
of the engine/genset/system.
Transport
• Lift the engine/genset/system only with the lifting eyes provided.
• Only use transport and lifting devices approved by MTU.
• The engine/genset/system must only be transported in installation position.
• Max. permissible diagonal pull 10°.
• If the engine/genset/system is supplied with special aluminum foil packing, lift it at the lifting eyes of the
trestle or use a means of transportation which is appropriate for the given weight (forklift truck).
• Prior to transporting the engine/genset/system, it is imperative to install the transport locking device for
the crankshaft.
• Prior to transporting the engine/genset/system, it is imperative to install the transport locks for the en-
gine mounts.
• Secure the engine/genset/system such as to preclude tipping during transport.
• Secure the engine/system/genset as to preclude slipping and tipping when driving up or down inclines
and ramps.
Setting the engine down after transport
• Make sure that the consistency and load-bearing capacity of the ground or support surface is adequate.
• Never set an engine/genset/system down on the oil pan unless expressively authorized to do so by MTU
on a case-to-case basis.
• Place the engine/genset/system on a firm, flat surface only.
