Lifting
Lifting a loader with ROPS: When lifting a loader
equipped with the ROPS frame, use four lifting slings that
are approved for lifting purpose, and which are minimum
2 meters in length. Loop the slings around the four ROPS
posts. Lifting kit A418706 includes all necessary parts and
detailed instructions to lift a loader with ROPS frame.
Make sure that the lifting slings cannot move and that the
loader doesn’t swing during lifting. Loop the lifting straps
around all four ROPS posts and make sure they are not
tied or get damaged by e.g. sharp corners.
When lifting a loader that is equipped with the Cab L,
remove the window panels (front, side and rear window
panel) before lifting.
Risk of dropping of the loader -
Use appropriate equipment and
follow safety instructions and safe
practises when lifting the loader.

possible extra weights from the
loader.

• Follow the instructions given in the
operator’s manual of the lifting kits
for each cab type.

the machine.

possible, and do not allow it to drop
or wobble.
