Hoisting the Machine
WARNING
� Know and use correct crane signals.
� Inspect the hoisting equipment daily
for damaged or missing parts.
� When hoisting, use a wire rope with
sufficient strength with respect to the
machine's weight.
� Do not hoist with the machine in a
posture other than the one described
in the procedure below. Doing so
is dangerous as it may result in the
machine losing its balance.
� Do not hoist the machine with an
operator (s) on it.
� When hoisting, hoist slowly so that the
machine does not tip.
� Keep all other persons out of the
area when hoisting. Do not move
the machine over the heads of the
persons.
IMPORTANT: This
applles to machines with standard
specifications.
The center of gravity differs according
to the attachments and options that are
mounted.
Consult a Takeuchi sales or service outlet.
