Engine Lifting

Engine Lifting Only
NOTICE
Never bend the eyebolts and the brackets. Only load
the eyebolts and the brackets under tension. Re-
member that the capacity of an eyebolt is less as the
angle between the supporting members and the ob-
ject becomes less than 90 degrees.
When it is necessary to remove a component at an
angle, only use a link bracket that is properly rated for
the weight.
Use a hoist to remove heavy components. Use a
lifting beam to lift the engine. All supporting members
(chains and cables) should be parallel to each other.
The chains and cables should be perpendicular to
the top of the object that is being lifted.
To remove the engine ONLY, use the lifting eyes that
are on the engine. If necessary, remove engine
components to avoid damage from the lifting device.
Lifting eyes are designed and installed for specific
engine arrangements. Alterations to the lifting eyes
and/or the engine make the lifting eyes and the lifting
fixtures obsolete. If alterations are made, ensure that
correct lifting devices are provided. Consult your
Perkins distributor for information regarding fixtures
for correct engine lifting.
