WARNING
q
To lift the machine, the cables and the upper lifting bar used must be properly sized; do not use worn ca-
bles or cables with broken strands.
q
Do not lift the machine before the operator has got off and make sure that there is no one around before
lifting it.
q
Do not lift the machine with the turret swung laterally. Before lifting the machine, swing the work equip-
ment to the sprocket side, then position the undercarriage and the turret parallel to each other.
q
Always keep the machine in horizontal position during the lifting operations.
q
Do not stand under the machine when this is suspended.
q
Do not attempt to lift the machine in any position different from that illustrated below, since it may lose
stability.
CAUTION
q
It is prohibited to use the 4 hooks on the top of the cab to
lift the machine. This would damage the cab.

It is prohibited to lift the machine using the holes provided
in the undercarriage, since these must be used only for
transporting the machine. This would damage the under-
carriage.
