Engine Lifting
When it is necessary to remove a component, remember that the capacity of an eyebolt is less as the angle between the supporting members and the object becomes less than 90 degrees. Eyebolts and brackets should never be bent and should only be loaded in tension.
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 fixtures in order to obtain proper balance. Some removals require lifting fixtures in order to provide safe handling.To remove the engine ONLY, use the lifting eyes that are on the engine.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 proper lifting devices are provided. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for information regarding fixtures for proper engine lifting.Engine Lifting With A Fuel Tank
Lifting the engine with a fuel tank that is mounted to the engine requires special equipment and procedures. Do not lift the unit with fuel in the fuel tank. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for information regarding fixtures for proper lifting of your complete package.Engine Storage
If the engine will not be started for several weeks, the lubricating oil will drain from the cylinder walls and from the piston rings. Rust can form on the cylinder liner surface, which will increase engine wear which can reduce engine service life.To help prevent excessive engine wear, use the following guidelines:* Complete all of the lubrication recommendations that are listed in the Operation and Maintenance Manual.* If freezing temperatures are expected, check the cooling system for adequate protection against freezing. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Cooling System Specifications" in the Maintenance Section for additional general coolant information.If an engine is out of operation and if use of the engine is not planned, special precautions should be made. If the engine will be stored for more than one month, a complete protection procedure is recommended.Consult your Caterpillar dealer. Your Caterpillar dealer will have instructions for preparing the engine for extended storage periods.Refer to the Special Instruction, SEHS9031 for more detailed information on engine storage.
