15 Lifting of Diesel Engine
Keep the center line of engine crankshaft horizontal during lifting, tilting or unilateral lifting is
strictly forbidden. Keep the lifting-up and putting-down process slowly, incorrect lifting may
damage the engine.
Fig. 1-5 Lifting of diesel engine
Each engine is installed with two special bolts on cylinder cover for lifting. On hexagonal
head of the bolt, a M14 threaded rod is connected and lifting eye is installed on the rod. We suggest
you apply lifting appliance as shown in left-hand chart of Fig. 1-5, and keep the center line of
engine crankshaft horizontal during lifting. It is inadvisable to lift the engine triangularly with
only one rope (as shown in right-hand chart of Fig. 1-5); because at this point lifting rope and
lifting bolts, lifting eyes are not aligned, it may damage, break the bolt, even damage the
engine. The users should pay special attention to this.
16 Installation of Engine
Flexible coupling should be adopted and ensure the center line of engine crankshaft and input
shaft axis of transmission (transmission box, gearbox or generator) are coaxial. And make sure
crankshaft is no subjected to additional axial force caused by assembly.
