Installing MCS Using Hoist
|
c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Attachment weighs 280kg (618 lb). Use a hoist to lift. Secure lifting straps to the top of the frame section so that they will not slip off.
|
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! If the attachment is installed using a hoist, use belts rather than chains or cables to prevent damage to the attachment. |
Install MCS using a hoist Secure lifting straps to points (A).
Installing MCS
|
c CAUTION: Avoid injury! To install attachment, machine must be parked on a level surface.
|
NOTE: Leave hardware loose during installation.
