Before starting the lifting operation, stop the machine in a horizontal place and then do the following. 1. Start the engine, make sure that the machine is horizontal, then set the work equipment to the travel posture. For details, See 12.4 MOVING THE MACHINE on page 2-55. 2. Move the work equipment safety lock lever to the LOCK position. 3. Stop the engine and check that the area around the operator’s compartment is safe. With the safety bar, lock the rear and front frame so they do not articulate. 4.

When the machine leaves the ground, stop for a moment and wait for the machine to stabilize, and then continue the lifting operation.
