7.8. Removing/installing ballast

Removal support is only intended for removal of the

ballast. For horizontal transport of the ballast, use 2-

way chain sling and attach to outrigger plate holders

on top of ballast.

Stow removable support after mounting ballast;

otherwise support will contact column during

retraction.

Never stand within the slewing range of the ballast.

During extension, never stand within sliding range of

the ballast (risk of crushing).

Be careful not to damage the machine while removing

the ballast.

7.8.1. Removing with your own equipment

Preparation

 Make sure the machine is supported on the outriggers in a square configuration, with the tracks

just above the ground and no load on the hook.

 Make sure there is enough room for the extended boom on one side, preferably the right side,

so the ballast is removed on the left side (because the sensors are on the right side).

 Make sure the tracks are retracted.

 Make sure the boom is horizontal.

 Make sure the ballast is placed in a safe spot, not on walking or driving paths and not within the

working range of the compact crane, other machines or workers.

Step-for-step

 Set boom crosswise on the machine with the ballast on the left

side of the machine (see figure 89).
