3. OPERATION 3. 8 LIFTING 1. Wheel Equiped Loaders The loader may be equipped with features to use in lifting (for example by crane onto a flatbed trailer or a flat car), for securing, and for extraction (from mud or snow). To facilitate this requires the optional lifting lugs. To lift using a crane, first follow the shut - off procedure in section 3.1-3. Once this is done, attach properly rated cables, chains or straps to the lift points (See Fig. 3.7). To prevent marking the operator guard or chafing of the lifting cable, a lifting frame should be used. Never lift a loader with the operator in or on the machine. WARNING Fig. 3.7 C3937 2.
Track Equiped Loaders Track equiped loaders must not be lifted using cab mounted lifting points. If it is necessary to lift loader it must be done with a lifting frame that supports the entire loader under the tracks. Ensure that this frame is designed to support the operating weight of the loader. Lifting Frame C4395 To avoid personal injury, lower the lift arms, shut off the engine, raise the seat bar and cycle the lift arm and bucket controls to ensure they are locked. Then, unlatch the seat belt and exit the loader. Do not enter or exit with the engine running unless as specified in this manual or under specific service and backhoe operating procedures. WARNING 31
