Compatible Applications

The Mi-T-M AW-5740-0024 Lifting Hook Kit is designed for select:

• Mi-T-M generators
• Compatible generator frames
• Engine-driven portable equipment
• Equipment requiring a manufacturer-designated lifting point
• Service, loading, and material-handling applications
• Units requiring OEM lifting hook kit AW-5740-0024

Function of the Lifting Hook Kit

The AW-5740-0024 Lifting Hook Kit is designed to:

• Provide a designated attachment point for compatible lifting equipment
• Support controlled vertical lifting of approved equipment
• Transfer lifting forces into the designated frame structure
• Help maintain equipment balance during approved lifting procedures
• Support loading, unloading, service, and repositioning operations
• Restore the original manufacturer-specified lifting arrangement
• Replace bent, cracked, corroded, or missing lifting hardware
• Reduce reliance on unsuitable frame tubes, handles, or components as lifting points

The kit does not increase the equipment’s allowable lifting weight or make undesignated attachment points safe to use.

Common Signs Replacement May Be Needed

Inspect or replace the lifting hook kit if you notice:

• Hook or bracket is visibly bent
• Cracks, fractures, or elongated mounting holes
• Heavy rust, corrosion, or metal loss
• Damaged threads or missing fasteners
• Loose movement at the mounting point
• Hook opening is stretched or distorted
• Welds or adjoining frame areas show damage
• Equipment was dropped or subjected to an impact
• Lifting components were overloaded
• Original lifting hardware is missing
• Inspection identifies wear outside manufacturer limits

Do not attempt to straighten, weld, drill, grind, or otherwise repair damaged lifting hardware unless Mi-T-M provides an approved repair procedure.

Installation & Service Notes

• Shut down the generator and allow the engine and exhaust system to cool.
• Disconnect the starting battery and isolate all power sources.
• Close the fuel valve and secure the unit against unintended movement.
• Place the generator on a stable, level surface.
• Review the applicable Mi-T-M parts diagram and lifting instructions.
• Inspect the frame and mounting area for cracks, corrosion, or distortion.
• Compare the replacement kit with the original components.
• Install every bracket, spacer, washer, and fastener in the specified sequence.
• Use new supplied or manufacturer-approved mounting hardware where required.
• Tighten all fasteners to the specified torque.
• Confirm that the hook is correctly oriented and securely mounted.
• Verify clearance from fuel, exhaust, electrical, and moving components.
• Have the installation inspected before the first lift when required.
• Conduct lifting operations only with properly rated equipment and trained personnel.

Important: Installation of a lifting point creates a load-bearing connection. Incorrect fasteners, improper torque, frame damage, or incorrect positioning may cause the equipment to fall during lifting.

Safe Lifting Recommendations

• Confirm the complete equipment weight before lifting.
• Include fuel, accessories, cords, hoses, and attached components in the total weight.
• Verify the hook and complete lifting system are rated for the load.
• Use only the manufacturer-designated lifting point.
• Use a properly rated hoist, crane, sling, shackle, or lifting accessory.
• Inspect all lifting equipment before each use.
• Keep the load balanced and under control.
• Perform an initial low-height test lift to check balance and security.
• Never stand, walk, or work beneath a suspended generator.
• Keep personnel outside the drop zone.
• Do not lift equipment while it is operating or hot.
• Do not use the lifting hook for towing, tie-down, fall protection, or personnel lifting.
• Avoid shock loading, sudden starts, and side pulling.
• Follow all applicable workplace lifting and material-handling requirements.

Ordering Notes

• Confirm that AW-5740-0024 is the required part number.
• Match the kit to the complete Mi-T-M generator model and serial number.
• Verify the frame design and mounting-hole configuration.
• Confirm the equipment’s complete operating and lifting weight.
• Review the applicable parts diagram and service documentation.
• Verify the hook’s rated capacity and approved lifting orientation.
• Confirm whether brackets, bolts, nuts, washers, spacers, and instructions are included.
• Inspect the generator frame before purchasing replacement lifting hardware.
• Do not order solely by appearance, as similar hooks may have different ratings or mounting configurations.

Maintenance Recommendations

• Inspect the lifting hook before every lifting operation.
• Check the hook, mounting brackets, frame, and fasteners for damage.
• Look for cracks, corrosion, deformation, elongation, and missing hardware.
• Verify that all mounting fasteners remain properly tightened.
• Keep the lifting point clean and visible for inspection.
• Protect bare or damaged metal surfaces according to Mi-T-M instructions.
• Remove the equipment from lifting service after an overload, drop, or impact.
• Do not paint over cracks, inspection markings, or severe corrosion.
• Maintain inspection records when required for commercial operation.
• Replace questionable lifting components rather than attempting unauthorized repairs.
• Use genuine OEM Mi-T-M components to maintain proper fit, load transfer, and dependable equipment handling.
