MLC165-1 OPERATOR MANUAL SETUP AND INSTALLATION
Assemble Crane Counterweight
See Figure 4-29.
1. Attach a 4-leg chain sling — or shackles and synthetic
slings — from the assist crane to the four lifting holes (2)
on the counterweight tray. The tray weighs
approximately 35,274 lb (16 000 kg).
2. Lift the counterweight tray clear of the trailer and remove
the trailer.
3. Set the counterweight tray on blocking at ground level in
the desired installation location. Level the tray as
needed.
Block only as shown or damage to the tray will
occur.
NOTE The counterweight tray can only be installed
between the crawler drives of the MLC165-1, not
between the front rollers. This is because the
crawlers may be longer over the front than the rear
due to tread adjustment.
The hooked alignment lugs (3) must be farthest
from the crawler drives when installing the upper
counterweight.
