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 correctly rated
for the weight.
Read all the information within product lifting before
any lifting is attempted. Ensure that the correct set of
lifting eyes for the assembly to be lifted have been
selected.

Perpendicular engine lifting
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,
i08153778
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 correct lifting devices are provided.
There are several different designs of lifting eyes.
The following sections give examples of lifting eyes
on the engine.
Consult your Perkins dealer for information regarding
fixtures for correct engine lifting.
