Sesame DES-EX-HI Diamond Engine Shield - Horizontal Intake - Learjet 45 / TFE731-40BR-1 - S036006

The Sesame DES-EX-HI Diamond Engine Shield EX - Horizontal Intake, 33-1/2" - LEARJET 45 / TFE731-40BR-1 – S036006 is a horizontal intake engine protection shield engineered for reliable, one-person installation from ground level. Designed specifically for aircraft with wing-mounted or aft-over-wing engines, this model safeguards engine nacelles from FOD, weather exposure, and accidental impact.

Constructed from premium-grade materials including carbon fiber, high-temperature silicone, 316L stainless steel, and a resilient synthetic outer layer, this barrier delivers industry-leading performance in extreme conditions. Auto-centering pads made of heat-resistant silicone cushion the nacelle interface, requiring no fasteners to secure the shield in place.

A glow-in-the-dark front bell mouth pad enhances visibility during nighttime operations and offers a protective contact layer. The patented locking head system ensures the shield cannot be disengaged from the IP100-EX installation pole unless manually released, eliminating accidental drops or detachment.

Installation Instructions

1. Twist to lock the IP100-EX installation pole into the shield’s bell mouth handle.
2. Grasp the bell mouth and gently twist the pole to expand and open the shield.
3. Lift the assembly toward the engine inlet from ground level using the telescoping pole.
4. Carefully position the shield so that the high-temp rubber feet contact both sides of the engine nacelle.
5. While applying light forward pressure, twist the pole to securely fasten the shield to the engine.
6. Once fully engaged, press the pole inward, twist to disengage the lock, and pull back to remove the pole from the shield.
7. To remove the shield, perform these steps in reverse: reattach the pole, twist to unlock, withdraw the shield, collapse, and stow.
