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 entire package. 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. Lifting fixtures also help to provide safety.Lifting eyes are designed and installed for each package. Alterations to the lifting eyes and/or the package 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 lifting.
Unless otherwise noted, factory shipped loose radiators are not designed to be lifted or hoisted while installed on a generator package. Shipped loose radiators must be installed on site after the packages (engine, generator, rails) are set in place. Radiators that are factory installed but shipped without coolant cannot be lifted while installed on a generator package if they are filled with coolant. Only those packages that are shipped from the factory filled with coolant can be lifted or hoisted while filled with coolant. Refer to the shipping consist to determine if coolant was included on the order prior to lifting the generator set package.
