Lifting Engine Carefully
To lift the engine, use wire ropes, shackles
and slings capable of supporting the weight
of the engine.
Attach slings to the hangers provided on the
engine to lift the engine.
Keep the engine balanced during lifting by
considering the engine's center of gravity.
Keep the angle formed by slings attached to
hangers within 60
°
. If the angle exceeds this
limit, excessive load is applied on the hang-
ers and may damage the hangers.
Attach wire ropes to the hanger after remov-
ing the pipe cover and the insulator near the
hanger for lifting.
To prevent wire ropes from contacting the
engine, place a cloth or other soft padding to
prevent damage to the engine and wire
ropes.
