4.13 TIE DOWN AND LIFTING
When transporting machine, boom must be in the stowed
mode with turntable lock pin engaged and machine
securely tied down to truck or trailer deck. Four tie down
eyes are provided in the frame slab, one at each corner of
the machine.
If it becomes necessary to lift the machine using an over-
head or mobile crane, it is very important that the lifting
devices are attached only to the designated lifting eyes,
and that the turntable lock pin is engaged. See Figure 4-
6., Lifting Chart - 100SX and 110SX, Figure 4-7., Lifting
Chart - 110SXJ, and Figure 4-8., Lifting Chart - 120SXJ.
NOTE: Lifting eyes are provided at the front and rear in the
frame slab. Each of the four chains or slings used for
lifting machine must be adjusted individually so
machine remains level when elevated.
IMPORTANT
SECURE TURNTABLE WITH TURNTABLE LOCK BEFORE TRAV-
ELING LONG DISTANCES OR HAULING MACHINE ON TRUCK/
TRAILER.
4.14 STEER/TOW SELECTOR (IF EQUIPPED)
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TOW MACHINE UNLESS EQUIPPED WITH
COMPLETE TOW PACKAGE FROM MANUFACTURER. FAILURE
TO DO SO COULD DAMAGE THE MACHINE.
A push-pull type selector valve located adjacent to the
steer cylinder assembly and linkage regulates oil flow in
the steer circuit for steering and towing applications.
When steering the unit (self-propelled operation) the valve
knob is pushed IN. When towing the unit the valve knob is
pulled OUT to the float position.
4.15 TOWING (IF EQUIPPED)
RUNAWAY VEHICLE/MACHINE HAZARD. MACHINE HAS NO TOW-
ING BRAKES. TOWING VEHICLE MUST BE ABLE TO CONTROL
MACHINE AT ALL TIMES. ON-HIGHWAY TOWING NOT PERMIT-
TED. FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS COULD CAUSE SERI-
OUS INJURY OR DEATH.
MAXIMUM TOWING SPEED 5 M.P.H. (8 K.M.H.).
Prior to towing the machine, complete the
following:
DO NOT TOW MACHINE WITH ENGINE OPERATING OR DRIVE
HUBS ENGAGED.
1. Retract, lower and position boom over rear drive
wheels in line with direction of travel; lock turntable.
2. Connect towbar to front of frame with attach pins,
and towbar to towing vehicle.
3. Disconnect drive hubs by inverting disconnect cap.
(See Figure 4-9., Drive Disconnect Hub.)
4. Actuate steer/tow selector valve for towing; pull
valve knob OUT to float position. (This opens the
steer circuit to reservoir, allowing the steer cylinder
rod free travel.) The machine is now in the towing
mode.
