3.4.3 Lifting the machine
Lifting operations using a crane must be carried out by a qual-
ified operator.
Use a suitable lifting traverse. Use suitable lifting traverses to
ensure that the maximum diagonal pull of 10° is not
exceeded.
Lifting traverse, slings and attachment points must be
inspected regularly and before operation for: cracks, defor-
mations, wear and excessive corrosion.
The lifting point of the traverse must lie above the center of
gravity.
Never lift the machine with any worker on it.
Keep the machine horizontal when lifting it.
Lock the articulated steering before lifting the machine.
Engage the work equipment lock lever.
Danger of injury! Objects placed on the machine may drop
when the machine is lifted. Remove all loose objects from the
machine before lifting it.
Incorrectly attached ropes may damage the machine! Attach
the hooks to the marked attachment points only.
Check the attachment points before and after lifting, particu-
larly when transporting frequently.
When the machine is raised, check that there is no oil leakage
from the hydraulic circuits.
This lifting procedure applies to machines with standard specifi-
cations. The method of lifting differs according to the attachments
and options actually installed. In such cases, please contact your
Komatsu distributor for information.
