Hoisting the Machine

WARNING
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ Know and use correct crane signals.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ Inspect the hoisting equipment daily
for damaged or missing parts.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ Keep all other persons out of the area
when hoisting. Do not move the
machine over the heads of the persons.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ Do not hoist the machine with an
operator(s) on it.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ 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.
IMPORTANT: This hoisting method
applies to machines with standard
specifications.
When hoisting this machine with a crane, use
a two leg sling with a 60 degree sling angle.
Each leg of the sling must have a minimum
length of 810 mm (31.9 in.).
Hoisting posture
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Slew the upper structure so that the dozer
blade is positioned to the rear of the body
(so that the crawler frame and upper
structure are parallel).
3. Fully extend the bucket, arm and boom
cylinders.
4. If the boom is swung to either the left or
right side, set it so that it is straight ahead.
5. Raise the dozer blade.
6. Set the safety lock lever securely to the
locked position.
7. Stop the engine and remove the starter
key and get off the machine.
8. Fix the sling to the lift eyes.
Hoisting
1. Hoist slowly until the machine just leaves
the ground.
2. Stop hoisting until the machine is stable.
3. Hoist slowly.
