Hoist the machine safely
• Know and use correct crane signals.
• Check the hoisting equipment for damaged
or missing parts on a daily basis and
replace as necessary.
• When hoisting, use a wire rope capable of
lifting the machine mass.
• Hoist the machine in such a manner
described in the procedure below. Do not
do it in any other manner, as it may result in
the machine losing its balance.
Refer to "Hoisting the machine" for further
instructions.
• Do not hoist the machine with an operator
on it.
• When hoisting, hoist slowly so that the
machine does not tip.
• Keep everyone out of the area when
hoisting. Do not move the machine over
the heads of the persons.
Transport the machine safely
• Know and follow the applicable safety
rules, vehicle code and traffic laws when
transporting the machine.
• Select the best transport route by
considering the length, width, height and
weight of the truck with the machine
loaded on it.
• Never abruptly start or stop or run at a high
speed at the sharp curves during transport.
Doing so will move or lose the balance of
the loaded machine.
