The generator
is
lilted
w~h
lifting eyes. Rope
or
chain slings capable
01
supporting the generator"s weight
should be
attached
to
the eyes and the generator lilted
by
means of tackle attached
to
lhese slings. The lift-
ing eyes have been designed
to
carry the lull weight of the generator; therefore, auxiliary slings are not
re-
quired
or
desired.
Slings must not be so short as
to
place significant stress on the generator's lifting eyes. Strain
placed
on the generator's lifting eyes by the lifting sling must not be in excess 0110° from the
vertical plain.

The general rule in moving generators
is
to see Ihat all equipment used is amply strong and firmly fixed
in
place. Move the engine a little at a time and see that it is firmly supported. Eliminate the possibility of acci-
dents by avoiding haste. Do not
lift
Ihe generator by its crankshaft puiley.
In
certain situations
it
may
be
necessary
to
lift the engine in positions other than lhe horizontal position. Certain situations exist
by
which
the engine must be lowered endwise a small hatchway which cannot be made larger, Under these
conditions,
II the opening
01
the hatchway
is
ex1remely small, it
is
possible to reduce, to some
ex1ent,
the
outside dimensions
of the generator by removing
ex1emal
components such as the alternator, the cooling
system's piping, the heat exchanger, certain filters, the mounting rails
and other obstructive equipment This
accessory
equipmell! should
be
removed
by
a competent mechanic and special care should
be
taken to
avoid damage
to
any exposed parts.
In
addition, be careful not
to
allow dirt from enlering any opening
created by the removal
01
equipment Removed parts should be returned
to
their respective position
as
soon
as the
generator has cleared the hatchway.
In
case it becomes necessary
to
hoist the generator Iront-end upwards or generator-end upwards, the at-
tachment of lifting slings must
be
done carefully
to
avoid the possibility
01
damaging the parts on which the
weight
of the siings may bear. Special rigging work
is
best done
by
someone experienced and competent
in handling
heavy machinery.
