LIFTING THE MACHINE
PRECAUTIONS FOR LIFTING
THE MACHINE
DANGER
To avoid serious injury or death:
• This section describe the instructions for safe
lifting. Read these instructions carefully before
lifting the machine. Make sure that the
operating personnel read the operator's manual
carefully before lifting.
IMPORTANT :
• Select a firm level surface, lower the working
equipment to the ground, and stop the engine.
• Secure the front and rear frames using the
steering-frame-lock so that the front and rear
frames are not articulated.
• Do not lift loads that exceed the maximum rated
capacity of the hoist and attaching hardware.
• See specifications for attaching hardware and
choose hardware suitable for the weight, size,
and configuration of the load.
• Assess the center of gravity of the load,
position the hook directly over the load, and lift
the load so that it remains horizontal.
• Do not enter and do not allow others to enter
the working area under the suspended load and
do not move the load over people. Move the
load only in an area where the equilibrium can
be maintained.
• Always inspect the attaching hardware,
including chains, hooks, and master links
before each use. Do not use any worn or
damaged attaching hardware. If the safety latch
is missing, do not use attaching hardware.
• Make sure that the lifting chains, hooks, and
master links are strong enough to withstand the
load being lifted.
