Machine lifting points
4.9 Jacking guidelines
Ensure the machine is on flat solid ground and attached to a tractor. Lower the rotor
arms to the working position. Apply the tractor hand brake, switch off the tractor and
remove the key, disconnect the hydraulics and PTO. Use wheel chocks on the opposite
wheel to secure against unexpected movement. Suitable well maintained equipment
shall be used to raise the machine. Never go under the machine while it is raised off
the ground. The jacking points are at the rear of the machine. Only approach the
machine with the jack from the rear, to ensure that there is adequate working room.
Ensure the jack makes solid contact with the plate below the jacking point decal, before
raising the machine off the ground.
WARNING: Do not rely solely on a hydraulic jack!
Ensure the machine is additionally supported with axle stands or
equivalent of suitable capacity. Never support the machine with props
that may break or crumble under continuous load.
