Lifting
CAUTION:
Prevent possible injury from unexpected machine movement. 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 sitting 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.
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:
a.
Park machine close to load.
b.
Attach load to chain/sling.
c.
Raise load 50 mm (2 in.) above ground.
d.
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.
