excavating to prevent the possibility of damage.

length as short as possible, to prevent swinging.
Important: Always use lifting tackle which is strong
enough and in good condition. Check the load weight
before choosing the lifting chains.
4 Attach a handline to the load. Make sure the person
holding the handline stands clear of the load and
machine.
5 Test the load by lifting it 25-50 mm (one or two inches)

excavator controls. Lower the load to the ground if
you feel any instability of the load or the machine.
