1.2 Personnel and organizational requirements
Organizational measures of the operator
This manual must be issued to all personnel involved in operation, maintenance, repair or transporta-
tion.
Keep this manual handy in the vicinity of the product such that it is accessible to operating, mainte-
nance, repair and transport personnel at all times.
Use this manual as a basis for instructing personnel on product operation and repair, whereby the safe-
ty-relevant instructions, in particular, must be read and understood.
This is particularly important in the case of personnel who only occasionally perform work on or around
the product. This personnel must be instructed repeatedly.

TIM-ID: 0000040531 - 003

1.3 Transport
Transport
Always use the lifting eyes on the engine and generator/gearbox when transporting gensets.
Always use the lifting eyes on the engine when transporting an engine separately.
Only use transport and lifting devices approved by MTU.
The engine/genset must only be transported in installation position: maximum permissible diagonal pull
10°.
Remove any loose parts on the genset.
Raise the engine/genset slowly. The lifting ropes or chains must not make contact with the engine or
its components. Readjust lifting device as necessary.
Pay attention to the center of gravity of the engine/genset: Refer to installation drawing.
For special packaging with aluminium foil: Suspend the engine/genset by the lifting eyes on the bearing
pedestal or transport by means of handling equipment (forklift truck) capable of bearing the load.
Fit the crankshaft transportation lock on the engine and fit the engine mount locking devices prior to
transport.
Secure the engine/genset such as to preclude tipping during transport. Secure such as to preclude slip-
ping and tipping when driving up or down inclines and ramps.
Placement after transport
Place the engine/genset on a firm, flat surface only.
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.

Transport locking device
Note: The transport locking device on both sides protects the crankshaft bearings from impact and vibration
damage during engine transport.
For installation and removal of the transport locking device, follow the in-
structions below:
1. The transport locking device must remain installed on both engine sides as long as possible during en-
gine installation in order to avoid damage.
2. Prior to every engine transport, the transport locking device must be reinstalled on both engine sides
according to the instructions.
3. If the engine is to be moved together with the generator, the transport locking device for the generator
must also be installed.
4. Always use the screws supplied with or installed in the transport locking device to secure it on the en-
gine.
5. Starting or barring the engine is allowed only with the transport locking device removed. If the genera-
tor is already installed on the engine, ensure that the transport locking device of the generator is also
removed.
Removing guard plates and en-
gine supports (if applicable) on
driving end (KS)
1. Remove screws (4) om both sides and take
off with washers (3), guard plates (1) and
engine supports (2).
2. Store the removed parts of the transport
locking device carefully for any reuse.

wheel housing and tighten to the specified tightening torque.
Name Size Type Lubricant Value/Standard
Screw M16 Tightening torque (Engine oil) 250 Nm +25 Nm
2. Fit locknut (2) on screws (1) up to the end of the thread.
3. The long side of retainer (3) must point downwards. Insert retainer (3) through the openings of plate (6).
Note: Retainer (3) must tension only the flywheel, not the ring gear.
4. Insert screw (1) in bores of retainer (3) until retainer (3) is locked in position.
Note: Screw (1) must be tightened alternately on both sides of the flywheel housing.
5. Tighten screw (1) to specified tightening torque .
Name Size Type Lubricant Value/Standard
Screw M10 Tightening torque (Engine oil) 30 Nm +3 Nm
6. Fit locknut (2) of screw (1) on plate (6) and tighten.
Removing the transport locking
device from the driving end (KS)
1. Release the locknuts (2) on both sides of
the flywheel housing, remove screw (1) and
take off retainer (3).
2. Remove screws (4) and take off with wash-
ers (5) and plates (6).
