NOTICE
Always inspect lifting eyebolts and all other lifting
equipment for damage before performing any lifting.
Never Bend the eyebolts and the brackets. Never
perform product lifting if the components are dam-
aged. Remember that the capacity of an eyebolt is
less as the angle between the supporting members
and the object 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 an
adjustable 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.
Some removals require lifting the fixtures to obtain
proper balance and safety.
To remove the engine ONLY, use the lifting eyes that
are on the engine.
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
proper lifting devices are provided. Consult your
Perkins dealer for information regarding fixtures for
proper engine lifting.
