NOTICE
Never bend the eyebolts and the brackets. Only load
the eyebolts and the brackets under tension. Remem-
ber that the capacity of an eyebolt is less as the angle
between the supporting members and the object be-
comes 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.

Typical example
Use a hoist to remove heavy components. Use a
lifting beam (A) 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 in order 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
i02885807
fixtures obsolete. If alterations are made, ensure
that correct lifting devices are provided. Consult
your Perkins dealer or your Perkins distributor for
information regarding fixtures for correct engine
lifting.
