The engine lifting equipment must be designed to lift
the engine and transmission safely as an assembly
without causing personal injury. The dry weight of the
standard 6BTA5.9 without accessories is 411 kg [905
lb]. Refer to the equipment manufacturer's specifica-
tions for the transmission weight.
NOTE: On applications where the rear-engine mounts are
attached to the transmission, it is often necessary to re-
move the engine and transmission as an assembly. Refer
to the OEM service manual.

ets to remove the engine.
NOTE: If the transmission is not removed, place a support
under the transmission to prevent it from falling.
Cover all the engine openings to prevent dirt and debris
from entering the engine.
Place the engine on suitable engine-support stands.
Remove all the remaining accessories and brackets to use
