Attach appropriate slings to the
hangers on the engine.
Keep the engine balanced during lifting by consid-
ering the center of gravity of the engine.
Keep the angle formed by slings attached to hang-
ers within 60°. If the angle exceeds this limit, exces-
sive load is applied on the hangers and may
damage the hangers.
If wire ropes contact the engine, place a cloth or
other soft padding to prevent damage to the engine
and wire ropes.
Do not climb onto engine
Never climb onto the engine.
To work on parts located on the upper section, use
a ladder, stand, etc.
Climbing on the engine can not only damage entire
parts, but also cause parts to fall off and result in
injury.
Always watch your footing
Use a stable work platform to
stand on when working on the
upper part of the engine and
other hard-to-reach places.
