Lifting

causym CAUTION: Never move the load suddenly. Never move load over person's head. Do not allow any persons near the load. Keep all persons away from raised load until blocks are supporting it or load is setting on the ground.

Make sure chain/sling is in good condition and is rated for load you are lifting.

1. For maximum lifting capability, attach chain/sling to buckets at positions shown. Refer to Specifications section for capacities of backhoe.

2. Attach a hand line to load for stability. Use long enough line to ensure that person holding it is a safe distance from load.

3. Before lifting, perform following test of load stability:

NOTE: If using backhoe to lift, raise rear tires off ground 50 mm (2 in.) and be sure machine is level. If ground is soft, place boards or other wide support under stabilizer feet to increase stability.

a. Park machine closed to load.

b. Attach load to chain/sling.

c. Raise load 50 mm (2 in.) above ground.

d. If using backhoe, swing load all the way to one side.

e. While keeping load close to the ground, extend it away from machine.

If there is any indication of reduced stability of your machine, lower load to the ground and make necessary adjustments so machine can successfully perform test. Do not lift load until machine can perform test at acceptable level.
