6. Close the doors and the engine cover.
7. Connect spreader bar and chains to front and
rear lift points as shown. The spreader bar length
should allow for the lift chains to be as vertical
as possible during lifting. The lifting chain
lengths should allow for lifting the machine as
level as possible.
Do not fasten the lifting gear to the cab to crane
lift the machine.
8. Carefully raise the machine, keeping it as level
as possible.
Loading and Transporting the
Machine on a Transport Vehicle
Do not exceed the transport vehicle’s gross
weight rating and the gross axle weight rating
when loading and transporting the machine.
The transport vehicle must have sufficient
capacity for the size and weight of the machine.
See “Specifications” on page 35.
Make sure the load does not fall short of the
minimum axle load of the steering axle,
otherwise the transport vehicle’s steering could
be seriously affected.
Remove any mud, snow or ice from the tracks
on the machine to prevent slipping.
Position the machine at the lowest possible
position on the transport platform, with the
center of gravity of the load over center line of
the transport vehicle. Distribute partial loads to
ensure an even load on the axles on the
transport vehicle.
Secure the machine properly so it cannot slip,
slide, roll, tip over or fall, or cause the transport
vehicle to tip over under transport conditions.
Use anti-slip bases and linings, load-securing
straps and chains, clamping beams, protective
paddings, nets, edge protectors, etc. as needed
to properly secure the load. Consider all
possible transport conditions such as: heavy
braking, evasive maneuvers, and uneven or
rough roadways.
Adjust transport speed to the load, to the road/
traffic conditions and to the handling of the
transport vehicle.
Always use the proper tie-down points when
using straps and chains. See “Component
Identification” on page 13.
