NOTICE
Never bend the eyebolts and the brackets. Only load
the eyebolts and the brackets under tension. Remem-
ber that the capacity of an eyebolt is less as the angle
between the supporting members and the object be-
comes 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.
