Lifting Components for Service
Lifting components of the W
ITTKE
™ requires special attention to safety.
Before performing any lifting operation, be sure to do the following:
Empty the body.
Chock both the front and rear wheels.
Stand clear of any cranes or similar lifting devices when doing any lifts.
Do not stand or walk under a load that is suspended unless there are additional safety blocking
devices in place.
Labrie Enviroquip Group reminds you that it is your responsibility to ensure your lift equipment
meets all safety standards and that only qualified personnel is allowed to use this equipment. The
following indications are intended as a guide only.
Lifting the Arms and Forks
You may need to lift the arms and forks manually. If you need to do this, remember the following:
If the fork cylinders are removed or disconnected, the forks can rotate freely – tie each fork to the
arms before lifting the arms and forks assembly.
Place a properly rated lift sling in the middle of the fork pivot tube.
Complete job, then reconnect.
Keep the sling in place while you repressurize the system.

:
If both arm cylinders are replaced, move the joystick back and forth in gradually increasing
increments. This will help distribute the oil evenly within the cylinders and prevent the arms
from falling.
Lifting the Front Section of the Body
Lifting the front section of the body may be required when you need to complete repairs.
To perform this task, you will need:
an appropriate overhead crane,
two properly rated lift slings, and
an appropriately rated lift beam.
Lifting procedure:
1.
Raise the arms until they are resting on the rubber arm stops on both sides of the body (stowed
position) and fully retract the forks against the arms.
2.
Remove both outer grease fittings located on each side of the arm pivot tube (see Figure 2
18).
This will prevent the risk of damaging the grease fittings or the lifting straps.
3.
Securely attach the slings to the lift beam, which was previously installed on the overhead crane.
4.
Wrap a lift sling around each end of the arm pivot tube (see Figure 2
19).
