Lifting Machine

d
WARNING:
 The lifting tools are optional. Install specified
lifting tools at your nearest authorized dealer.
 Use lifting cables and other lifting tools that are
free from any damage and/or aging, and properly
rated for the load.
 Consult your nearest authorized dealer for correct
lifting procedures, and size and types of lifting
cable and tools.
 Before lifting the machine, move the control lever
lock switch to the lock ( ) position to prevent the
machine from moving unexpectedly.
 Rigidly secure the front and rear chassis using
the articulation stopper (lock bar) so that the
machine front and rear chassis will not steer.
 Incorrect lifting procedure and/or incorrect wire
cables may cause the machine to move (shift)
while being lifted, resulting in machine damage
and/or injury of personnel.
 Do not lift the machine quickly. Excessive load
will be applied to the wire cables and/or lifting
tools, and may cause them to break.
 Do not allow anyone to come close to or under
the raised machine.
