13.3.LIFTINGTHEMACHINE
Toliftthemachine,firstofallaliftingdeviceisrequiredthathasasuitablecapa‐
citydependingonthedistanceandtheheighttowhichtheMEWPistobelifted.
•For lifting operations necessary for maintenance or loading onto transport
vehicles,onlyusemachinery(e.g.forkl
ifts,crane,overheadcranesetc.)andload
pick‐updevices(e.g.ropes,chains,hooks)withsuitablecapacityandinperfect
workingorder;fortheweightofthemachine,consulttheparagraphrelativeto
thetechnicalfeaturesoftheMEWPʺTechnicaldata(p. 19)ʺ.Thephotographbe‐
lowshowshowandwhereth
eMEWPmustbeattached.
•When lifting the machine, it must be in transport configuration (extensible
structurecompletelyclosedandaligned,stabiliserscompletelyliftedandunder‐
carriage extended). Otherwise, the machine would be unbalanced and lifting
dangerous.
• Neverliftthemachinewiththeoperatoronboard.
•Duringlifting,makesurethatnopeopleareinth
eareaaffectedbytheopera‐
tionsanddonotmovethesuspendedmachineoverpersons.
Neverliftthemachineifitisnotsecuredasshownherein;if,forexample,itwere
liftedbyattaching ittothearm,usingdevicesforanchoragetotheground(above
allnotde
signedtosupporttheweightoftheMEWP)orsimplypassingastrap
aroundanyelementofthearm,theturntableandothermachinepartswouldbe
loadedwithforcestheyarenotdesignedfor.Thereisa highriskofdamagingthe
machine.
