SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION
3121637 – JLG Lift – 4-25
4.12 LIFTING AND TIE DOWN
Lifting - Outrigger Lifting Rings
1. Determine gross weight of machine, refer to the
serial number tag, or weigh the individual unit to
find out the gross vehicle weight.
2. Configure the machine in the transport position;
a. place the booms in the stowed position and
properly aligned
b. all outriggers are fully retracted
c. tracks are fully widened
d. Remove all loose items from the machine
3. Lift machine using only the lifting lugs on the fork
lift pockets, on both sides of the machine. (See Fig-
ure 4-6.)
4. Use a lifting bar capable of supporting the full
weight of the machine, with a distance between
the attach points a minimum of 21.65 in. (550mm)
to maximum of 28.75 in. (730mm)
5. Properly adjust the lifting bar and rigging to pre-
vent damage to the machine and so the machine
remains level and balanced.
TO LIFT THE MACHINE A SEPARATE WIRE ROPE/CHAIN/SLING MUST BE
ATTACHED TO EACH OF THE (4) LIFTING LUGS USING THE APPROPRIATE
LIFTING POINTS AS INDICATED IN FIGURE 4-6. OTHERWISE THE
MACHINE MAY NOT BALANCE PROPERLY AND MOVE UNEXPECTEDLY.
THE USE OF ROPES, CHAINS OR SLINGS WITH LENGTH LESS THAN 10 ft.
(3m) COULD CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE OUTRIG-
GERS.
As the weight of the machine is not spread equally over the
four lifting lugs, the minimum required capacity of the four
ropes, chains or slings used must be: no less than 4,409 lb.
(2000 kg) and their length no less than 10 ft. (3m) and all
identical.
