6.4 Lifting Procedure
At times, the PT-50/50T/60 may need to be
lifted with the optional lift kit. This section
addresses the proper procedures and attach-
ment points for these activities.
Lifting
Lifting the machine from above should only
be done with the optional lift kit installed as
shown. (fig. 6.4-1) The machine should only be lifted with a lifting device and
chains that are rated for lifting a machine of this size and weight.
The chains must be attached at all four corners of the machine to the lifting eyes
and should be connected to a common lift point on the lifting device centered
over the machine (use spreader bars if necessary). This will help to balance the
machine as well as distribute the weight evenly while being lifted.
Lift the machine straight up in a slow and careful manner. Lower it this same way
making sure all bystanders are clear of the machine and its expected path.
If it is necessary to lift attachments or parts from the machine, always use a lift-
ing device and straps/chains rated for lifting items of the size and weight of the
component(s) to be lifted.

When lifting attachments or components, use caution. Attach straps or
chains securely and in such a way that they evenly distribute the weight
of the item to be lifted, ensuring a balanced load. Stay clear of expected travel
path.
