Lifting the Machine
Introduction
Do not use the anchor points to lift the machine. If the
anchor points are used, the machine will not lift evenly and
become unstable.
The lifting-eyes in the top surface of the counterweight are
for the removal and installation of the counterweight only.
The lifting-eyes can not support the weight of the machine.
To safely lift the machine, the Lifting Point Option (333/
R3798) must be installed, refer to your JCB Dealer.

Attach the D-shackles:
Attach a D-shackle
A
to the front sling-point. The front
sling-point is a permanent fixture, which is welded to
the steel fuel tank. The fuel tank is part of the chassis,
which gives the sling-point extra strength.
Attach a D-shackle
B
to the two rear sling-points. The
two rear sling-points are attached to the chassis with
M16 bolts.
Note:
The D-shackles each have a safe working load of
five tonnes.
