Never bend 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 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 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 Caterpillar dealer for information regarding fixtures for proper engine lifting.
Engine and Factory Mounted CEM

Engines with a factory mounted CEM (with or without a factory mounted radiator) can be lifted. Use the front engine lift eye, load rings fastened into the side mount pads of the flywheel housing, and a certified spreader bar.
Refer to the Special Publication, NENG2500, "Cat Dealer Service Tool Catalog" for the latest in below the hook lifting devise part numbers. Follow the safety instructions for the selected tool to ensure a safe lift. For most packages, the recommended spreader bar is 6V-6146 set at 142 cm (56 inch) with the lift hook locations set at approximately 3/4 of the way toward the front stop (closest to the front engine lift eye). The recommended load ring is 433-3002, which has additional bolt length to offset the thickness of the CEM mounting bracket. Place the load ring in the top-most, outer side-mount hole locations on either side of the flywheel housing.
Remove any ATAAC lines, air cleaners, or other attachments that would otherwise interfere with the lift chains or other lifting devises.
The engine package center of gravity will change depending on the engine attachments. Adjust the spreader bar and chains as necessary to maintain a lift within 5 degrees of horizontal in all directions.
Engine and Installed Radiator Only
The engine lifting eyes are rated to lift an engine with attached radiator, assuming a less than 5 degree tilt angle can be maintained. Be sure to use an appropriate spreader set so that lifting chains are perpendicular to the engine.
Radiator Only
In order to lift at the top of the radiator tank, detach the radiator, and mounting bracket at the engine front support. Add eyebolts or lifting brackets to the threaded holes marked for lifting.
Clean Emission Module Lifting

typical example Side A | |
The Clean Emission Module (CEM) should only be lifted by the designated lifting eyes (1). Lifting eye locations will be different depending on the CEM arrangement. Do not attempt to lift the CEM using straps around the diesel particulate filter. Lifting eyes are found on both sides of this system.

Do not attempt to use the radiator or CEM lift points to aid in the engine package lift. |
