Make sure that the cable/crane/lift can hoist minimum 600 kg (1,323 lbs).
Make sure that the rake section (2) is turned upwards and cannot be
damaged when the machine is put on the subsoil.
2. Lift the machine including the pallet approx. 50 mm (2”) off the ground.
3. Take care that the machine is standing on the edge of the pallet (3).

CAREFUL: KEEP YOUR DISTANCE; THE MACHINE CAN SLIDE!
5. Dismantle the top rod pin and let the pallet (3) rotate carefully around the 3-point pins
(5) until it stands on the subsoil.
6. Remove the bottom 3-point pins (5) and remove the pallet (3).
