TRANSPORTING MACHINE LIFTING PROCEDURE WARNING: Lifting wire ropes and other lifting tools can break, possibly causing serious personal injury. Do not use damaged or deteriorated wire ropes or lifting tools. Be sure to contact your authorized dealer for cor- rect lifting procedure, and size and kinds of lifting wire ropes and lifting tools. Pull the pilot control shut-off lever to the LOCK position so that the machine does not accidentally move while being lifted. Incorrect lifting procedure and/or incorrect wire rope attachment will cause the machine to move (shift) while being lifted, resulting in machine dam- age and/or personal injury. Do not lift the machine quickly.
Excessive load will be applied to the lifting wire ropes and/or lifting tools, possibly causing them to break. Do not allow anyone to come close to or under the lifted machine. The indicated gravity center is for the standard specification machine. The gravity center will vary depending on the kinds of attachments and/or op- tional equipment to be installed or their position to be taken. Therefore, take care not to lose the balance of the machine while lifting. 1. Fully extend the arm and bucket cylinders. Lower the boom until the bucket comes in contact with the ground.
