In installations such as short and medium nose conventional chassis, the factory installed rear engine lifting bracket is usually removed due to space constraints. In this case, the portable rear engine lifting bracket, Part No. 3823920, will be required to install the engine into the chassis. Follow instructions for the rear engine service lifting bracket installation in Procedure 000-001-999.
The engine lifting equipment must be designed to safely lift the engine and the transmission as an assembly. The dry weight of the standard engine with accessories is 1256 kg [2770 lbs.]. Refer to the equipment manufacturer’s specifications for the transmission weight.
Use a correctly rated hoist; and attach engine lifting fixture, Part No. ST-125 or Part No. 3822512, to the engine mounted lifting brackets to install the engine.
Do not remove the radiator cap from a hot engine. Hot steam can cause serious personal injury. The engine coolant temperature must be below 70°C [160°F].
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. Check the oil and the coolant levels again.
