Lifting Procedures
When it becomes necessary to lift the machine:
1. Use a lifting device that can safely lift 4,000 lbs (1820 Kg).
2. Use appropriate lifting chains (Item 1, Figure 3–12 ) that can safely lift 4,000 lbs (1820 Kg).
3. Route the chains through the lifting eyes (Item 2, Figure 3–12 ) located at the top of the boom
arms.
4. Make sure that the length of chain on each side of the lifting point is the same (Item 3 A, Figure
3–12 is the same as Item 3 B, Figure 3–12 ) so that the machine is lifted straight upwards.
• Lift the machine approximately 12” to make sure that the machine is balanced
before completing the lift.
• If lifting the machine with an attachment installed, the overall machine may not be
balanced from front to back.
