Product Lifting
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 components are damaged.
Only load the eyebolts and the brackets under ten-
sion. 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.
To obtain the correct balance for lifting an application,
adjust the chain lengths.
Lifting eyes are designed and installed for the
specific engine arrangement. 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.
