the excavator is in the position as shown [A].

Fasten chains to the ends of the blade (Item 1) [A] & [B]
and up to a lifting fixture above the canopy/cab. The lifting
fixture must extend over the sides of the canopy/cab to
prevent the chains from hitting the ROPS/TOPS.
Install a 1 inch (25mm) bolt and nut (Grade 5 or 8) through
the holes at the top of the boom (Item 2) [A] & [B]. Fasten
a chain from the bolt to the lift fixture.
