NOTE: The information given on the bearing plate must imperatively be followed. Failure to
do so will void the warranty for the bearings.
Before the machine is lifted, ensure that suitable lifting equipment is available and that the
personnel is familiar with lifting work. The weight of the machine is shown on the rating plate,
dimension drawing and packing list.
NOTE: Use only the lifting lugs or eyes intended for lifting the complete machine. Do not use
any small additional lifting lugs or eyes available, as they are there only for service
purposes.
NOTE: The center of gravity of machines with the same frame may vary due to different
outputs, mounting arrangements and auxiliary equipment.
NOTE: Check that eyebolts or the lifting lugs integrated with the machine frame are
undamaged before lifting. Damaged lifting lugs must not be used.
NOTE: Lifting eyebolts must be tightened before lifting. If needed the position of the eyebolt
must be adjusted with suitable washers.
The seaworthy package is normally a wooden box, which is covered with lamina paper on the
inside. The seaworthy package should be lifted by forklift from the bottom, or by crane with
lifting slings. The sling positions are painted on the package.
