Improper lifting or tiedowns can allow load to shift and can cause injury and damage. |
Use a hoist to remove heavy components. Use an adjustable lifting beam, if necessary. Some removals require lifting fixtures in order to obtain proper balance and safety.
Lifting eyes are designed and installed for the specific 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.

Label for lifting eye | |
Lifting labels are located on the lifting eyes and on the bottom of the genset. Lifting labels may be placed in other locations also. These labels designate the proper lifting locations for the genset and the weight that may be safely lifted from the location. Some gensets may be lifted at the base of the genset. Use the configuration that is on the lifting label in order to lift the generator set. Use lifting devices that are properly rated for the weight of the generator set.
On some enclosed generator sets, removal of a top panel of the enclosure may be necessary in order to access the lifting eye.
Note: Never lift a generator set that has fuel on board.
A special lifting device is available for lifting the engine out of the genset. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for further information.
The following labels will be on the genset. Take care to review the weight limits before lifting the genset.
