places for lifting up that is attached to the chassis (Fig 2-6).   
Use suitable rope in length so that the distance from the crane’s hook to 
the hoisting eyebolts will be over 2.5m.

protector shuld be not used.(Because excessive protector causes damage 
to the radiator’s redome) 
After installation of the scanner, remove the protector from the radiator. 
If the rope is attached to the scanner’s support section located at the 
bottom of the radiating section, a load is imposed to the joint between the 
radiator and the chassis. Work according to above mentioned method.
