LIFTING AND STORAGE
Lifting
FIG. 1: Never band 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 °.
When it is necessary to remove a compnent 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.
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 engine
service center for information regarding fixtures for
proper engine lifting.
The weight of the engine is approximately 1250 Kg
(2760 lb).

lubricating oil will drain from the cylinder walls and from
the piston rings. Rust can form on the cylinder liner

service life.
