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 the components are damaged.
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 to obtain proper balance. Lifting fixtures also help to provide safety.Lifting eyes are designed and installed for the specific engine arrangement.
