3.1 Lifting The Machine
WARNING! Do not lift by drawbar or axle alone. Damage may occur which will invalidate warranty.
Use recommended lifting point locations.
SR460 and 620 models should be lifted using the four designated lifting loops in each of the four corners of the
centre deck; as shown in Figure 3.1.
SR820 machines should not be lifted, these machines should be rolled into the required position with the
assistance of ramps if required.
Figure 3.1 Shipping Position – SR460/620 only
Ensure that the machine is guided by personnel when positioning the machine to where it is required to be
placed. This is to ensure that the machine and/or equipment/personnel do not get hit by the machine.
Ensure that wherever the machine is going to be positioned afterwards is sturdy and level, so that the machine
does not end up becoming unstable and will potentially move or fall over.
Further support must be given with wheel chocks. These can be found on the SR460/620 models attached on
the rear of both of the light boards, see Figure 3.2. On the SR820 they can be found on the tops of the centre
axle; see Figure 3.3. Both chocks must be placed under one of the centre axle wheels to stop the machine from
rolling. The machine should be lowered into its lowest position on the front skids to support the front of the
machine correctly. Depending on preference of the operator the SR820 could be supported at the front of the
machine via the fixed pin jack; see Figure 3.4.
