8.3 LIFTING THE MACHINE
To lift the machine, first of all a lifting device is required that has a suitable capacity depen‑
ding on the distance and the height to which the MEWP is to be lifted.
• For lifting operations necessary for maintenance or loading onto transport vehicles, only
use machinery (e.g. forklifts, crane, overhead cranes etc.) and load pick‑up devices (e.g.
ropes, chains, hooks) with suitable capacity and in perfect working order; for the weight
of the machine, consult the paragraph relative to the technical features of the MEWP.
The photograph shown below shows how and where the MEWP must be attached.
• When lifting the machine, it must be in transport configuration (extensible structure
completely closed and aligned, stabilisers completely lifted and undercarriage exten‑
ded). Otherwise, the machine would be unbalanced and lifting dangerous.
• Never lift the machine with the operator on board.
• During lifting, make sure that no people are in the area affected by the operations and
do not move the suspended machine over persons.
Never lift the machine if it is not secured as shown herein; if, for example, it were lifted by
attaching it to the arm, using devices for anchorage to the ground (above all not designed to
support the weight of the MEWP) or simply passing a strap around any element of the arm,
the turntable and other machine parts would be loaded with forces they are not designed
for. There is a high risk of damaging the machine.
