Lifting
Use lifting ropes or chains with an appropriate amount of load bearing
capacity. Attach the lifting ropes to the lifting eyes (b) on the machine
using hooks or shackles. Attach the other end of the ropes to the hook
of the lifting equipment. The hook must have a lifting capacity which
will support the weight of the machine. Refer to section Technical Data
for weight information. Lift the machine using four ropes, one rope
attached to each lifting eye and a spreader bar that prevents the ropes
from contacting the machine.
Crushing / machine damage hazards. Use only steel ropes or chains
for lifting. Ropes or chains must have the suitable specified lifting
capacity and must be at least 2000 mm (6.5 ft.) long. Do not use
improvised ropes or chains.
Do not stand under, or get onto, the machine while it is being lifted or
moved.
