Lifting & Placing

its parts. To reduce this risk,

ment such as a forklift, engine hoist, or boom
crane. DO NOT attempt to lift or move machine
without necessary assistance from other people.
Each piece of lifting equipment must be rated for
at least 1150 lbs. to support dynamic loads that
may be applied while lifting.
