NOTICE |
---|
Always inspect lifting eyebolts and all other lifting equipment for damage before performing any lifting. Never bend the eyebolts and the brackets. Never perform product lifting if components are damaged. 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. |
Use a hoist to remove heavy components. Use an adjustable lifting beam to lift the Clean Emission Module. 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 may require lifting the fixtures to obtain proper balance and safety.

Typical example |
To remove the Clean Emission Module (CEM), use lifting eyes (1). Lifting eyes are designed and installed for the specific CEM arrangement. Do not use the lifting eyes for any other purpose than lifting the CEM.
Alterations to the lifting eyes and/or the aftertreatment 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 aftertreatment lifting.
