1.3 Transportation
Transportation
Only use the lifting eyes provided to lift the engine.
Only use transport and lifting devices approved by MTU.
Take the engine's center of gravity into account.
Lift engines by approx. 10 mm and verify that the lifting ropes / chains between engine and lifting
equipment run vertically or in accordance with the specifications on the installation drawing.
If this is not the case, the lifting equipment must be re-adjusted.
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 bear-
ing pedestal or use a means of transportation which is appropriate for the given weight (forklift truck).
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 .

1.5 Safety regulations for maintenance and repair work
Safety regulations prior to maintenance and repair work
Have maintenance or repair work carried out by qualified and authorized personnel only.
Allow the product to cool down to less than 50 °C (risk of explosion for oil vapors, fluids and lubricants,
risk of burning).
Relieve pressure in fluid and lubricant systems and compressed-air lines which are to be opened. Use
suitable collecting vessels of adequate capacity to catch fluids and lubricants.
When changing the oil or working on the fuel system, ensure that the service room is adequately venti-
lated.
Never carry out maintenance and repair work with the product in operation, unless:
• It is expressly permitted to do so following a written procedure.
• The product is running in the low load range and only for as long as absolutely necessary.
Lock-out the product to preclude undesired starting, e.g.
• Start interlock
• With hydraulic starting system: shut off supply line.
Attach “Do not operate” sign in the operating area or to control equipment.
Disconnect the battery. Lock out circuit breakers.
Close the main valve on the compressed-air system and vent the compressed-air line when air starters
are fitted.
Disconnect the control equipment from the product.
Use special tools if they are specified for the relevant work.
Elastomer components (e.g. engine mounts, damping elements, couplings and V-belts) must not be
painted. They may only be installed after painting the engine or must be covered before painting work is
carried out.
The following applies to starters with copper-beryllium alloy pinions:
• Wear a respirator mask (filter class P3). Do not blow out the interior of the flywheel housing or the
starter with compressed air. Clean the flywheel housing inside with a class H dust extraction device.
• Observe the safety data sheet.
Safety regulations during maintenance and repair work
Take special care when removing ventilation or plug screws from the product. Cover the screw or plug
with a rag to prevent fluids escaping under pressure.
Take care when draining hot fluids and lubricants (risk of burning).
Use only proper and calibrated tools. Observe the specified tightening torques during assembly or dis-
assembly.
Carry out work only on assemblies or plants which are properly secured.
Make sure components or assemblies are placed on stable surfaces. Adopt suitable measures to avoid
that components/tools fall down .Use the specified lifting equipment for all components.
Never use lines for climbing.
Keep fuel injection lines and connections clean.
Carry out appropriate cleaning procedures to clean and inspect components requiring special cleanness
(e.g. components carrying oil, fuel, or air).
Always seal connections with caps or covers if a line is removed or opened.
Fit new seals when re-installing lines.
Avoid damaging lines, particularly the fuel lines.
