TRANSPORTATION AND LIFTING
HAZARD
• Use a forklift or crane with the
proper lifting capacity to lift the
machine. Use good judgment and
planned movement to control the
machine.
• Transport vehicles must be
parked on level ground.
• Be sure to prevent the transporta-
tion vehicle from moving when
loading the machine. Refer to 1
Performance Parameters, page 1-
1.
• Before transportation and lifting,
check if the rigging anchor point
and its attached structure are in
good condition.
• Ensure that the vehicle capacity,
loading surface, belts or ropes are
sufficient to support the weight of
the machine.
• Be sure the machine is on a hori-
zontal plane or fixed before re-
leasing the brakes.
• When removing the wire rope
safety pin, prevent the guardrail
from falling. The guardrail must
be held tight at all times when
descending.
• Never transport people on the ma-
chine while the machine is being
towed or while the machine is en-
gaged in towing or lifting
operations.
• When using a forklift or crane to
lift the machine, pay attention to
prevent the machine from collid-
ing with nearby objects.
• Lock the wheels of the machine
after it has been loaded to prevent
the machine from rolling.
NOTICE
Do not pull/drag the machine unless an emergency,
failure or loss of power occurs. Refer to Emergency
Towing/Dragging, page 7-2.
