1.3 Lifting Safety
WARNING
Severe injury can occur if faulty or incorrect lifting equipment is used. Lifting equipment used
must be in good condition and suitably rated for the lift. Make sure that the lifting tackle
complies with the local regulations.
WARNING
Spreader bar must be parallel to the top of the engine during lift.
WARNING
Lifting chains must be perpendicular to the spreader bar to ensure a straight lift is achieved.
WARNING
Do not lift engine if chains are divergent or convergent.
WARNING
No parts of the lifting equipment during a lift procedure should touch the engine assembly
except for the specified lifting eyes. Failure to comply may result in damage to the sensitive
aftertreatment systems.
Spreader Bar Size – The dimension of the spreader bar given below for each of the engine
variants, is the distance at which the lifting chains should be mounted to achieve a straight lift.
Lift Chain Length – The critical distance which must be adhered to is the difference in height
between the lifting eyes perpendicular to the engine. This distance specified refers to the
extra chain length that will ensure a straight lift is achieved.
A minimum distance of 200mm must be maintained between the bottom of the spreader bar
and the top most feature of the engine.
