EMERGENCY LIFTING/HOISTING- MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Lifting Procedure
A. The airplane may be lifted with a hoist of two-ton capacity
attached by rings, which are optionalequipment installed by Service
Kit, or by means of suitable slings. The front sling should be
hookedto each upper engine mount, and the aft sling should be
positioned around the fuselage at the first
bulkhead forward of the leading edge of the stabilizer. If the
optional hoisting rings are used, aminimum cable length of 60
inches for each cable is required to prevent bending of the
eyebolt-typehoisting rings. If desired, a spreader jig may be
fabricated to apply vertical force to the eyebolts.
