7.8.2. Removing with external equipment

Preparation

 Arrange for a lifting device with sufficient capacity and the appropriate lifting accessories.

 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 the boom is horizontal or in the transport position.

Step-for-step

 Slide the ballast out and switch off the control for the crane.

 Position the lifting device under or attach it to the ballast and allow it to bear part of the weight

of the ballast. The ballast removal support is not suitable for horizontal transport of the ballast;

use a two-way chain sling that can be hooked directly to the outrigger plate holders on top of

ballast.

 Take off the ballast retainer by removing the two hex head bolts with a 24 mm spanner.

 Lift with the lifting device until it is supporting the entire ballast weight.

 Switch on the control for the crane and slide the ballast frame in.

 Remove the ballast with the lifting device and put it in a safe place.

 Store the ballast retainer with the corresponding bolts in a safe place, such as the toolbox.

Check

 Check whether the ballast has disappeared from the display on the remote control.

 Check whether the ballast is in a safe position and cordon off the area around the ballast to

prevent accidents.
