ENGINE LIFTING PROCEDURE

4
CAUTION: The only recommended method for
lifting the engine is with JDG23 Engine Lifting
Sling and safety approved lifting straps that
come with engine. Use extreme caution when
lifting and NEVER permit any part of the body
to be positioned under an engine being lifted or
suspended.
Lift engine with longitudinal loading on lift sling
and lifting brackets only. Angular loading
greatly reduces lifting capacity of sling and
brackets.
1. Attach the JDG23 Engine Lifting Sling (A, or other
suitable sling) to engine lifting straps (B) and overhead
hoist on floor crane.
NOTE: If engine does not have lifting straps, they can be
procured through service parts network or made
locally. Use of an engine lifting sling (as shown) is
the ONLY APPROVED method for lifting engine.
However, if a sling is not on hand, engine can be
lifted by chain(s) attached to lifting straps and
overhead hoist.
2. Carefully lift engine and slowly lower to desired
location.
