HOW TO HOIST A MACHINE !
WARNING
• The wire ropes for hoisting must be strong enough to lift the machine safety. A wire rope not strong enough may break during hoisting a machine, thus letting the machine drop and injure or kill a person. • For hoisting, choose a flat place and see the "Hoisting Position" and "Machine hoisting procedure" described below. Hoisting a machine while it is not in the Hoisting Position may let the machine unbalanced, causing serious injury or death. Do not hoist a machine while the boom is swinging.
IMPORTANT Wire ropes which diameter are more than ø18 can be used. A shackle must be strong enough ø18 or more to hoisting the machine.
