1. Purpose:
This Technical Instruction describes how to lift, transport on appropriate transport vehicles and bring
GE Jenbacher modules into engine rooms and how to use and maintain the load suspension device
(hoisting gear, chains, cables, etc.).
The module arrangement surface shall comply with Technical Instruction 1000-0041.
2. Lifting:
Always check whether the load suspension device is in a ready-for-use condition (see 'Guidelines for
use') prior to using it.
Maintenance
Make sure that this load suspension device is checked by an expert at least once a year for external
damage, distortions, wear and corrosion, cracks and breaks. Reject the device if the defects found are
intolerable. Do not make any modifications to the load suspension device which will affect the function
and lifting capacity of the device.

Attach the lifting equipment to the lifting lugs and hoist the module with a
crane or mobile crane.
Make sure when attaching the lifting equipment that the angle of force
coincides with the V-angle.
Make sure that the yellow transport safety pegs are correctly installed when lifting the engine, module or
generator.

Transport safety
2.3 Generator:
Lift the generator using suitable textile hoisting belts, chains or cables.
Make sure that the yellow transport safety pegs are correctly installed when
lifting the engine, module or generator.
When transporting on transport vehicles it must be ensured that a suitable backing consisting of timber,
rubber or similar is used between unit frame and platform.
Risk of skidding and tipping must be excluded by the proper attachment of strapping.
The transport security shackles are not suitable for lifting modules. These shackles are only intended for
securing the modules on transport vehicles!
Lifting the motor by the transport security shackles with result in the shackles
breaking off and the engine being seriously damaged.
Caution! Extreme danger!

If, due to local conditions rail transport cannot be avoided, silomer strips or other damping elements must
be placed under the module frame (this does not apply to container versions as these are automatically
provided with damping elements). The shipping company must also guarantee that the railway truck
carrying the engine/module will NOT be pushed away during shunting.

5.1/a Height of spacing timber h = base height + height of oil collection tray
5.1/b Height of spacing timber h = base height
5.1/c Height of spacing timber h = height of oil collection tray
5.1/d No spacing timber is necessary! (Frame can be directly lowered onto the transport rollers.)
Transport rollers
Position the longitudinal frame support on transport rollers with wooden distance blocks on top.
The engine should now be positioned almost horizontally on the transport rollers.
Experience has shown that even three to four strong persons will be able to move a unit. However, the
following must be observed in order to prevent damage. The prerequisite for this is a level footing.
Otherwise, the footing must be made level using sheet steel.
Under no circumstances must force be applied to unit components such as module interfaces, ignition
box, etc.
Lifting point
As the amount of space available is limited, especially if the engine is equipped with an engine oil pan,
bear in mind the following advice relating to the dimensions of the hydraulic jacks.

[13.4 in]
[8.27 in]

Roll suitable steel pipes/rollers in the oil collection tray under the frame and remove the front transport
roller pair.
Lower the unit onto the steel pipes/rollers.
Steel tube
Transfer of the second transport roller pair takes place in like manner.
If four (4) hydraulic jacks are available, the module can be lifted at both ends to assemble and align the
sylomer strips in one go.
Lift unit frame on the other end and remove square timber.
Install Sylomer strips over the entire length and arrange so that the Sylomer strip protrusion under the
frame side members is the same all round.
Trim Sylomer strips to the same length as the longitudinal chassis bearers.
6.1/a Height of spacing timber h = base height + height of oil collection tray
6.1/d No spacing timber is necessary! (Frame can be directly lowered onto the transport rollers.)
Experience has shown that even three to four strong persons will be able to move a unit. However, the
following must be observed in order to prevent damage. The prerequisite for this is a level footing.
Otherwise, the footing must be made level using sheet steel.
Transfer of the second transport roller pair takes place in like manner.
Lift (using a crane) or roll the generator towards the module which was already aligned on the sylomer
strips. Stop the movement when the measuring gauge touches the cross frame support on the flywheel
side.
Lift generator using hydraulic lifting equipment. Place sylomer strips underneath the generator (both in
longitudinal direction and crosswise). Place sylomer strips on the engine side underneath the generator
(both in longitudinal direction and crosswise).
The generator frame must be evenly spread over the entire length of the sylomer strips.
At no point must it be possible to shift the Sylomer strip under the frame side member.
If an engine oil pan is fitted, the difference in frame height between module and generator must be
adequately compensated for (e. g. all-welded form tube frames.)
The construction of the generator frame guarantees that the module frame hangs over the generator
frame (approx. 5 mm [0,2 in]). This difference is compensated for using distance plates.
To install these plates, the generator should be lifted hydraulically or mechanically using four (4) jacking
bolts (inserted into the fine screw-thread inserts at the generator pedestal).
Insert two threaded rods (M16 x 370) opposite to the flywheel casing
and pull the generator at right angles and smoothly towards the engine
by tightening the hexagonal nuts.
Hexagonal nut
You should now be able to slide the coupling element (rubber band) into the coupling flange without
exerting too much force.
The connecting plane of the flywheel casing and coupling housing must be in perfect parallel alignment.
Any deviations should be compensated for by installing distance plates between the generator frame and
the elastic generator bearing.
• Use hexagonal bolts M16 x ..*) with hardened-steel washers to connect the engine and generator.
*) The screw length differs from one generator type to another.
Tighten the hexagonal bolts using a tightening torque of 190 Nm [140 lb ft] and then secure these using
Loctite 242.
8. Positioning transmissions:
Lugs on the generator and transmission should not under any circumstances be used to hoist the
complete module.
These lugs should only be used to move the generator frame containing the generator and transmission.
8.2 Positioning:
In case of multiple engines with transmissions, make sure that the generator and engine frames are
correctly positioned – 1 on 1, 2 on 2 ….. etc. (see the illustration below for markings).
