4.12 LIFTING AND TIE DOWN
Lifting - Outrigger Lifting Rings
1. Determine gross weight of machine, refer to the
serial number tag, or weigh the individual unit to
find out the gross vehicle weight.
2. Configure the machine in the transport position;
a. place the booms in the stowed position and
properly aligned
b. all outriggers are fully retracted
c. tracks are fully widened
d. Remove all loose items from the machine
3. Lift machine using only the lifting rings provided
on the end of the outrigger arm, at the outrigger
pad.
4. Properly adjust the rigging to prevent damage to
the machine and so the machine remains level and
balanced.
TO LIFT THE MACHINE A SEPARATE WIRE ROPE/CHAIN/SLING MUST BE
ATTACHED TO EACH OF THE (4) LIFTING RINGS USING THE APPROPRIATE
LIFTING POINTS AS INDICATED IN FIGURE 4-6. OTHERWISE THE
MACHINE MAY NOT BALANCE PROPERLY AND MOVE UNEXPECTEDLY.
THE USE OF ROPES, CHAINS OR SLINGS WITH LENGTH LESS THAN 10 ft.
(3m) COULD CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE OUTRIG-
GERS.
As the weight of the machine is not spread equally over the
four outriggers, the minimum required capacity of the four
ropes, chains or slings used must be: no less than 4,409 lb.
(2000 kg) and their length no less than 10 ft. (3m) and all
identical.
