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. This method is not
applicable for the machines with non-
standard attachments and/or optional
products, because the center of gravity
differs according to the attachments and
optional products installed. Contact your
Takeuchi service agent for details.
