WARNING
Injury Hazard: Do not stand below a load that hangs. If the load
falls, injury to personnel can occur.
The permitted capacities of the engine crane, lifting tools, ropes, chains, eye bolts,
etc. must always be related to the weights of the parts to be lifted (see also Masses
(Weights) 0360 − 1 ).
Note: The permitted load capacity (maximum load) in kg is related to the Work
Load Limit (WLL).
For the removal and installation of engine components or their movement, use only
the applicable tools that are in a satisfactory condition. Ropes that have become worn
and tools that have damage are defective and must be replaced.
For safety and correct handling of the engine room crane, lifting tools or movement of
loads, the sequence that follows is recommend:
1) Find the weight of load.
2) Find the centers of gravity.
3) Use the applicable attachments.
4) Attach and remove the applicable lifting equipment.

2.1 Wire Rope Slings
The WLL of the wire rope slings is given below their names in Tools List 9403 − 5 .
2.2 Span-sets
Span-sets have the advantage of easy and simple handling. The code and the color
usually show the maximum permitted load. Loops and knots in the span-sets
decrease their lifting capacity by one third.
2.3 Eye Bolts and Eye Nuts
Only those eye bolts and eye nuts that are in accordance with DIN 580 and
582:2003 − 08, or that have the same or are more than these values must be used.
This includes the safety factor.
All calculations for components and tools where eye bolts and eye nuts are used are
related to the given standards.
