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 the fixtures in order to obtain proper balance and safety.To remove the engine ONLY, use the lifting eyes that are on the engine.

Top view (1) Elbow (2) Lifting eyeOn some earlier engines, the lifting apparatus may interfere with an elbow. Place the hook on the lifting eye. If the hook comes into contact with the elbow, remove the elbow before lifting the engine. Failure to remove the elbow may result in damage to the elbow and damage to the internal aftercooler core.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.
