Never bend the eyebolts and the brackets. Only load the eyebolts and the brackets under tension. Remember that the capacity of an eyebolt is less as the angle between the supporting members and the object becomes less than 90 degrees.When it is necessary to remove a component at an angle, only use a link bracket that is properly rated for the weight.
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 and safety.To remove the engine ONLY, use the lifting eyes that are on the engine.Note: The lifting eyes must be removed before the engine is operated.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.Generator Set
Do not use the engine lifting eyes to remove the engine and generator together.
A lifting plate is provided with the package generator set. Instructions for lifting the package generator set are stamped on the lifting plate.Consult your Caterpillar dealer for information regarding proper fixtures and lifting devices.Generator sets will not be level if you lift the unit from a single lifting point. A counterweight can be added between the package frame rails whenever the application requires frequent relocation of the unit. For complete information about adding the counterweight, consult your Caterpillar dealer.The single point lifting eye is secured from the factory before being shipped. The correct orientation of the single point lifting eye will allow you to look through the eye when you stand at the side of the enclosure. The lifting eye may stretch when the package is lifted. This may cause the locking nuts to loosen. This could cause the lifting eye to swivel. Ensure that the lifting eye is correctly oriented on the packaged generator set. Ensure that the lifting eye is tightened to the correct torque before you lift the packaged generator set.
