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.
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
correct balance and safety.
The lifting eyes should be used to lift only the engine
as supplied by Perkins, including engine-mounted
aftertreatment equipment.
Other Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
equipment, including transmissions, should be
removed from the engine prior to lifting. For more
information, refer to the OEM.
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 distributor for information regarding fixtures
for correct engine lifting.
