3.10 LIFTING THE MACHINE

DANGER
To lift the machine, the cables and the upper lifting bar
used must be properly sized; do not use worn cables or
cables with broken strands.
Do not lift the machine before the operator has got off and
make sure that there is no one around before lifting it.
Lift the machine by proceeding as follows.
1 - Rotate the upper structure so that the blade is behind the op-
erator and raise the blade completely.
Extend the bucket, boom and arm cylinders completely and
make sure that the control levers are in neutral.
2 - Swing the boom to the central position and engage the con-
trol pedal safety device.
3 - Shift the safety device lever to the lock position and stop the
engine.
4 - Insert a metal or nylon rope in the two holes provided on the
blade ends and in the boom hole. Fix the ropes with appropri-
ate locks or safety pins.
5 - Connect the ropes to the upper lifting bar as indicated in the
figure.
IMPORTANT
Always use the three coupling points provided for the lift-
ing operations.
6 - Lift the machine slowly until the ropes are stretched and
make sure that the fastenings are correct before lifting the
machine definitively.
CAUTION
When lifting the machine, make sure that it is correctly
balanced and that it remains in horizontal position during
the lifting operations.
Do not lift the machine with swung boom or without using
the lifting bar.
