If you have an engine that is not yet installed in a machine, it is imperative
that you follow the Assembly Instructions for HATZ Diesel Engines before installing the engine.
These assembly instructions contain important information on safe installation.
If the engine is installed in a machine or assembled with other machines to
form a machine, it is prohibited to start the engine before it has been determined that the newly created machine fulfills all safety-related requirements
and applicable legal regulations .
