The engine lifting equipment must be designed to lift the engine and transmission as an assembly without causing personal injury.
The dry weight of a CELECT™ or CELECT™ Plus engine is approximately 940 Kg [2070 lb]. The dry weight of a STC engine is approximately 929 Kg [2045 lb]. See the equipment manufacturer’s specifications for the transmission weight.
On applications where the rear engine mounts are attached to the transmission, it can be necessary to install the engine and transmission as an assembly.
Fill the cooling system with fully formulated coolant or a 50/50 mixture of fully formulated antifreeze and good quality water. Refer to Procedure 008-018.
See the equipment manufacturer’s specifications for radiator and system capacity.
Do not remove the pressure cap from a hot engine. Wait until the coolant temperature is below 50°C [120°F] before removing the pressure cap. Heated coolant spray or steam can cause serious personal injury.
Operate the engine at low idle for 2 to 3 minutes.
Stop the engine and wait 5 to 7 minutes for the oil to drain to the oil pan, and check the oil and coolant levels again.
