4.10 LIFTING AND TIE DOWN
When transporting machine, boom must be in the stowed
position mode, (booms lowered and retracted) with turntable
lock pin engaged, and machine securely tied down to truck
or trailer deck. Six tie down eyes are provided in the frame
slab, one at each corner of the machine and 2 holes at the
center of the frame. (See Figure 4-5., Machine Tie Down)
If it becomes necessary to lift the machine using an over-
head or mobile crane, it is very important that the turntable
lock pin is engaged, lifting devices are attached only to the
designated lifting eyes, and spreader bars are to be used to
prevent damage to the machine. (See Figure 4-6., Lifting
Chart for gross machine weights.)
NOTE: When transporting machine over rough terrain or long dis-
tance, the boom needs to be chocked and strapped. This
prevents the boom from bouncing up causing possible
damage.
NOTE: Crane and lifting devices, chains, slings, etc., must be
capable of handling the gross machine weight.
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.
SECURE TURNTABLE WITH TURNTABLE LOCK BEFORE TRAVELING
LONG DISTANCES OR HAULING MACHINE ON TRUCK/TRAILER.
