SECTION 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION
CRANING THE SKID-STEER LOADER
If the skid-steer loader is inoperative and located
in
an area where it cannot be loaded onto a truck
or trailer, the unit may be craned
to
load the unit.
To
crane the loader, only use chain or cable with a
rated capacity to handle the weight
of
the model
skid-steer loader being craned. Refer to the
"Specifications" section of the operator's manual
for the operating weight of the model loader being
craned. Use three chains, minimum of 12'
(3.66
m)
long for the models L865, Lx865, Lx885,
and 14' (4.27
m)
long for the Lx985, to prevent
sharp angles and damage to the loader cab,
boom, and lifting chains.
Remove any attachment except a standard
bucket from the loader boom attaching plate.
A
CAUTION: DO NOT LIFT ANY ATTACHMENTS
ON THE LOADER MOUNTING PLATE THAT
WEIGH 600 LBS. (272 kg) OR MORE. LIFT
SUCH ATTACHMENTS SEPARATELY.
The lifting points are at the rear of the loader, 1 .
