The engine must only be transported in installation position, max. permissible diagonal pull 10°.
If the engine is supplied with special aluminum foil packing, lift the engine at the lifting eyes of the bearing
pedestal or use a means of transportation which is appropriate for the given weight (forklift truck).
Install the crankshaft locking device and the locking screws for the engine mounts prior to engine transporta-
tion.
Secure the engine against tilting during transport. In particular when going down inclines or ramps, the en-
gine must be secured against moving and tilting.
Setting the engine down after transport
Only set down engine on a firm, level surface.
Make sure that the consistency and load-bearing capacity of the ground or support surface is adequate.
Never set an engine down on the oil pan unless expressively authorized to do so by MTU on a case-to-case
basis.
