HOISTING THE MACHINE
WARNING
• Know and use the correct crane signals.
• Check the hoisting equipment for
damaged or missing parts on a daily
basis and replace as necessary.
• When hoisting, use a wire rope capable
of lifting the machine mass.
• Hoist the machine in such a manner
described in the procedure below. Do
not do it in any other manner. Doing so
is dangerous as it may result in the
machine losing its balance.
• Do not hoist the machine with an
operator on it.
• When hoisting, hoist slowly so that the
machine does not tip.
• Keep everyone out of the area when
hoisting. Do not move the machine over
the heads of the persons.
IMPORTANT: This hoisting method
applies to machines with standard
specifications. The center of gravity
differs according to the attachments and
optional equipment installed.
Contact your Takeuchi service agent for
details.

2. Raise the dozer blade fully.

cylinder fully to raise the boom to its
uppermost position.

position.
6. Stop the engine, remove the starter key
and get off the machine.
7. Install the wire ropes and hoisting
attachment without letting them touch the
machine body.

ground.

stable, and then start hoisting the machine
slowly again.
