Machine Lifting Procedure - Hitachi ZAXIS 70 Operator's Manual

MACHINE LIFTING PROCEDURE

CAUTION:
Lifting wire ropes and other lifting tools can
break, possibly causing serious personal in-
jury. Do not use damaged or deteriorated wire
ropes or lifting tools.
Be sure to contact your authorized dealer for
correct lifting procedure, and size and kinds
of lifting wire ropes and lifting tools.
Pull the pilot control shut-off lever to the
LOCK position so that the machine does not
accidentally move while being lifted.
Incorrect lifting procedure and/or incorrect
wire rope attachment will cause the machine
to move (shift) while being lifted, resulting in
machine damage and/or personal injury.
Do not lift the machine quickly. Excessive
load will be applied to the lifting wire ropes
and/or lifting tools, possibly causing them to
break.
Do not allow anyone to come close to or un-
der the lifted machine.
The indicated gravity center is for the stan-
dard specification machine. The gravity center
will vary depending on the kinds of attach-
ments and/or optional equipment to be in-
stalled or their position to be taken. Therefore,
take care not to lose the balance of the ma-
chine while lifting.
1. Fully extend the arm and bucket cylinders. Lower the
boom until the bucket comes in contact with the
ground.
2. Pull the pilot control shut-off lever to the LOCK posi-
tion.
3. Stop the engine. Remove the key from the key
switch.
4. Use wire ropes and support bar of sufficient length so
that they do not come in contact with the machine
while lifting.
Wrap some protectors around wire ropes and/or
support bar as required to prevent the machine from
being damaged.
5. Drive a crane to an appropriate position for lifting.
6. Thread the wire rope through and under both sides of
the track frames as illustrated. Attach the wire ropes
to the crane.
