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.

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 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
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.
