during this procedure is not recommended. Do
not swing upperstructure during this procedure.
Do not reposition bucket during this procedure.
1. Wear seat belt.

machine movement. Lifting requires special care.
Observe these rules when lifting with the machine:
•
Never use machine to lift people.
•
Do not exceed lift capacity limits.
•
Keep everyone clear of raised loads.
•
Never attach sling or chain to bucket teeth.

NOTE: For buckets without a loop, see your
authorized dealer.
1. Use proper rigging to attach and stabilize loads.
2. Curl bucket and retract arm. Fasten sling or chain to
bucket loop (1).

•
Raise load just off of ground.
•
Swing load all the way to one side.
•
Move load slowly away from machine.
•
Lower load immediately if machine is not stable.
