Lifting the Machine
General
DANGER Do not stand underneath the raised load during the lifting/lowering procedure. Stand clear and
to one side until the load has been safely lowered. Make sure that the area is clear of other people before
lowering the load. If you do not follow these precautions you or others could be killed or seriously injured.
WARNING Do not lift the machine by the extended dozer blade (if installed), remove the extensions before
lifting. Make sure the lifting slings do not interfere with the top of the cab, damaging the top glazing. It may
be necessary to remove the FOGS (if installed).
Carry out the following procedure when lifting a machine:
1. Remove all attachments.
2. Remove all loose equipment from machine exterior.
3. Check the unladen weight of the machine.
Refer to: Static Dimensions (Page 155).
4. Attach lifting equipment to each end of the dozer blade.
5. Attach lifting equipment to each side of the boom.
6. Take the weight of the machine. Make sure the slings do not interfere with the cab. It may be necessary
to use a spacer bar between the slings.
