This lifting method is the preferred method to be used for all machines. This method is the only method acceptable on machines that are equipped with threaded bosses (1) located on the counterweight.
Note: The threaded bosses must only be used to remove the counterweight. These bosses will not support the weight of the machine.
Note: The shipping weight that is listed is the weight of the most common configuration of the machine. If attachments have been installed on your machine, the weight of your machine and the center of gravity of your machine may vary.
Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Specifications" for specific weight information.
- Use correctly rated cables and slings for lifting. The crane should be positioned so that the machine is lifted parallel to the ground.
- To prevent contact with the machine, lifting cables should have sufficient length.
- The width of the spreader bar and the strength of the spreader bar should be sufficient to prevent contact with the machine.
When the wire cables are lifted, the wire cables should slide to front track rollers and to the rear track rollers.
- Move the lever for the hydraulic lockout control to the LOCKED position.
Note: Never use the step as a lifting point for lifting the machine.
