3.12 MACHINE LIFTING AND TIE DOWN
Lifting
The machine may be lifted using a fork lift truck. Lift only from
the rear of the machine and only with the platform in the
stowed position. Adjust the width of the forklift truck, lifting
tines (1) to properly fit the machine, see Figure 3-12.
The machine can also be lifted using a spreader bar and four
equal length straps or chains capable of supporting the full
gross weight of the machine, see Figure 3-13. Lift only using the
lifting lugs provided at the four corners of the machine. (See Sec-
tion 5.2 for machine gross weight).
LIFTING THE MACHINE FROM THE SIDES USING A FORK TRUCK IS NOT REC-
OMMENDED BY JLG. IN THE EVENT THAT THE MACHINE NEEDS TO BE LIFTED
FROM THE SIDES CAUTION MUST BE USED TO AVOID JAMMING THE POT HOLE
PROTECTION BARS UP AGAINST THE FRAME.
EVERY TIME THE MACHINE IS LIFTED FROM THE SIDE, BE SURE AND TEST THE
POT HOLE PROTECTION SYSTEM BEFORE THE MACHINE IS PUT BACK INTO
OPERATION.
Tie Down
When transporting the machine, the platform must be fully low-
ered in the stowed position with the machine securely tied
down to the truck or trailer deck. There are two tie-down/lift
lugs located at the front and rear of the machine. (See Figure 3-
14.)
