SECTION 00 - GENERAL INFORMATION
00-27
When craning (lifting or lowering) a skid steer,
observe these “CAUTIONS.”
CAUTION
1. No riders (including the operator) in or on the
machine while lifting or lowering.
2. Do not lift any attachments on the skid steer
mounting plate that weigh 272 kg (600 lbs.) or
more. Lift such attachments separately.
3. Always use a chain or cable capable of safely
hoisting the weight of the skid steer.
4. Before hoisting the skid steer, always inspect
the lifting chain or cable and the lifting points
on the skid steer main frame to insure they
are in good condition. If worn or damaged, do
not use.
5. Do not lift the skid steer with any
frame-mounted attachments such as a
backhoe or rear stabilizers.
6. Do not attach lifting devices to the skid steer
boom or attachments on the skid steer.
7. Make sure the skid steer boom is in the
completely lowered position.
8. Make sure that any attachment to be lifted on
the skid steer is securely fastened to the skid
steer mounting plate with the over-center
handles and pins fully engaged. Pivot the
attachment fully back.
9. Make sure that the engine is off and the
parking brake is engaged before lifting.
10. Keep bystanders away from the machine a
safe distance while lifting.
