OPERATION 13.3.3 LIFTING PROCEDURE NOTE: The lifting procedure applies only to machines with lifting lugs. Stop the machine on a horizontal surface. 1. Start the engine, make sure the machine is horizontal, and then move the work equipment to the travel position. See “12-4 MOVING MACHINE” on page 2-50. 2. Move the work equipment safety lock lever to the LOCK position. 3. Stop the engine, check that the area around the operator’s compartment is safe, then install the safety bar to lock the front frame to the rear frame so they do not articulate. 4. Fit the lifting equipment to the lifting hooks (identified by lifting marks) at the front of the front frame and the rear of the rear frame. 5.
When the machine leaves the ground, stop lifting long enough for the machine’s movements to stabilize. After swinging, swaying, etc. have subsided continue the lifting process slowly. WARNING Fluids may leak from the machine, causing a health and safety hazard. Check for leakage from the hydraulic circuit or other parts; clean up spilled fluids promptly. 2-75 WA320-3MC
