For machines equipped with lifting holes,
lift the machine according to the following
procedure.
1)
Rotate the platform so that the working device is oriented in the same direction
as the dozer. Start the engine and set the work device to the position shown on
the right, with the boom fully raised and the arm and bucket fully retracted.
2)
Turn off the engine and lift up the left control box so that the machine is in a
locked position.
3)
Check that the area around the machine is safe, then get off the machine. Close
the cab windows, doors, windows and hood.
4)
Hook firmly to the lifting hole on the boom (the lifting hole is labeled with a
lifting hook symbol), and pass the wire rope between the drive wheel and the
first supporting wheel.
5)
Select the lifting position of the wire rope so that it is directly in the center of
gravity of the machine (the center of gravity of this model is above near the
center of rotation), as shown in the picture above.
6)
When lifting, check whether there are leakage from the hydraulic line at the top
of the boom cylinder. Such leakage will change the position of the working
device.
7)
When the machine leaves the ground, stop the lifting operation and check if the
machine is in balance. When the machine is stable, continue the lifting operation.
