LIFTING THE MACHINE

How to lift a machine
Personnel who perform lifting using a crane must be qualified.
Contact your distributor to get an instruction of lifting a ma-
chine. Some parts are required and available as optional parts.
• Do not lift a machine with personnel in it.
• The rope used for lifting must have sufficient strength to with-
stand the weight of this machine.
• The machine must not be in a position other than that shown
in the following procedure when lifting a vehicle. Otherwise,
the machine may be unbalanced.
Lifting a machine must be performed on a flat place with the following
procedure.
(1) Start the engine and set the machine in the position shown in the
figure at the right (boom at the top stroke and, arm bucket fully re-
tracted). Direct the top revolving super-structure straight forward
(idler side).
(2) Set the safety lock lever in the lock position.
(3) Stop the engine. Confirm safety around the operator seat. Get off the
vehicle. Be sure to close the cab door, windshield, right and left
doors, engine hood, etc.
(4) Mount a shackles to the lifting hooks on the boom and the counter
weight. Hang the wire rope.
(5) The length of the wire rope and the lifting angle must be as shown in
the figure at the right.
(6) When lifting, make sure that there is no change in position due to pos-
sible leakage in the hydraulic circuit on the boom cylinder head side.
(7) When the machine leaves the ground, stop the machine and make
sure sufficiently that the machine is balanced. Then, lift the machine
slowly.
