Lifting The Engine - Mitsubishi S6R2 Operation & Maintenance Manual

Lifting the Engine

To lift the engine, use wire ropes, shackles and slings
capable of supporting the weight of the engine.
Attach the wire rope to the hangers provided on the
engine using a correct sling.
Keep the engine balanced during lifting by consider-
ing the engine's center of gravity.
The hangers equipped with the engine is designed
for lifting the engine only. When mounting generator
on the engine, use the special hanger of common
bed.
Hangers of engine cannot be used.
When mounting marine gear on the engine, be sure
not to apply the load on the hangers of engine only.
Keep the angle formed by slings attached to hangers
within 60°. If the angle exceeds this limit, excessive
load could be imposed on the hangers and this could
damage the hangers and result in a serious accident.
Attach wire ropes to the hangers after removing the
pipe cover and the insulator near the hangers. To
prevent wire ropes from contacting the engine, use a
cloth or other soft padding.
