3.4.3 LIFTING THE MACHINE
WARNING
q Do not lift the machine if the operator is still on board.
q Always make sure that the metal cable used to lift the machine is sufficiently strong for the weight being
lifted.
q Do not lift the machine with the turret swung laterally. Before lifting the machine, swing the work
equipment to the sprocket side, then position the undercarriage and the turret parallel to each other.
q Always keep the machine in horizontal position during the lifting operations.
q Do not stand under the machine when this is suspended.
q Do not attempt to lift the machine in any position different from that illustrated below, since it may lose
stability.
CAUTION
q It is prohibited to use the 4 hooks on the top of the cab to
lift the machine. This would damage the cab.
q It is prohibited to lift the machine using the holes provided
in the undercarriage, since these must be used only for
transporting the machine. This would damage the
undercarriage.
IMPORTANT
q For details on the weight of the machine, see paragraph
"5.1 TECHNICAL DATA".
q The lifting procedure described must be considered valid
only for machines with standard specifications.
The lifting method varies according to the equipment and
attachments installed. In these cases, contact your
Komatsu Dealer, who can supply you with more precise
information.
The lifting operation must be carried out on a level surface, by
proceeding as indicated below.
1. Start the engine, then swing the turret so that the work
equipment is above the sprockets (1) with the undercarriage
and the turret parallel to each other.
2. Lift the blade completely.
3. Extend the bucket cylinder, the arm cylinder and the boom
cylinder completely.
4. If the boom is swung to the left or to the right, operate the
boom swing pedal to position the boom parallel to the
undercarriage, then lock the pedal safety device.
