C. Preparation For Shipping

Drain and measure the oil and coolant from the concerned unit. Record the oil and coolant measurements on the repair order. REPLACE THE DRAIN PLUGS.

Remove the engine assembly according to the applicable service manual.

If the engine leaks, mark the leak area on the engine.

All plastic shipping plugs and covers that are removed from the shipped engine must be installed on the engine that is to be exchanged.

Place the removed unit into the original shipping container. Include a copy of the repair order in the original envelope and attach to the removed engine. Write the technical assistance reference number on the repair order.

D. Shipping Instructions

Place the return shipping label over the original container shipping label.

The Bill of Lading and Customs Papers (when necessary) provided with the exchange engine are the only documents required to return ship the removed engine.

Important:
The same carrier, whose name is indicated on the bill of Lading, should be used for the return engine shipment.

All required data on the Bill of Lading will be complete except for the date and carrier signature. After the Bill of Lading has been dated and signed by the carrier, retain the last copy with your repair order and provide the other two copies to the carrier. Your copy of the Bill of Lading, signed by the carrier, is your proof of returning the engine.

The returned engine is to be shipped by truck freight collect to:
