LIFTING OF THE EXCAVATOR
To avoid serious injury or death:
A The correct instructions for safe handling are
described here. Read these instructions
carefully before moving the machine. Make
sure that the operating personnel read the
operator's manual carefully.
B Basics when Lifting with Cables or Straps
1. The lifting and crane operation is to be undertaken
according to the safe operation guidelines described.
2. The equipment used for lifting mentioned in these
instructions are only given as reference, the standards
concerning strength, control and other details are
based on the respective applicable guidelines.
B Safety Aspects when Lifting with Cables or Straps
Abide by the following steps when lifting:
1. Do not lift loads that exceed the maximum load
capacity of the crane.
2. Choose correct equipment suitable to the weight, size
and form of the load.
3. First assess the center of gravity of the load, position
the hook directly over the load and lift the load so that
the center of gravity of the load is as low as possible.
4. The steel cables or straps must be fixed in the middle
of the hook.
5. The load must be lifted vertically from the ground.
6. Do not enter the working area under suspended loads
and do not move the load over people. The load must
only be moved in an area where the balance can be
easily maintained.
B Lifting Procedure for the Excavator
To avoid personal injury or death:
A Do not use the hooks on the roof of canopy and
CAB for lifting the excavator.
A When applying the shackles through the
boom's and blade's openings for lifting, be sure
to do two-point lifting for added safety.
A Never lift the machine with the angle blade
placed at an angle. (Angle blade type)
C General guidelines for lifting
1. Lifting position. (see illustration below)
(1) Rotate the upper swivel structure until the blade
positions itself 180-degree opposite the
attachment.
(2) Raise the blade all the way.
(3) Lift the boom and get the bucket and arm in their
crowded position. Next set the pilot control lock
lever to the "LOCKED" position.
(4) With the boom not swinging, set the swing pedal
to the neutral position, place the pedal cover and
stop the engine.
(5) Apply shackles (3200 kg or heavier-duty) through
the openings at both ends of the blade. And apply
shackles (2000 kg or heavier-duty) through the
two openings at the boom top. Pass wire ropes
through these shackles.
