Improper lifting and improper tie-downs can allow the load to shift or fail and cause injury or damage. Use only properly rated cables and slings with lift and tie down points provided. Follow the instructions in Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Lifting and Tying Down the Machine" for the proper technique for securing the machine. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Specifications" for specific weight information. |

Lifting Point - In order to lift the machine, attach the lifting devices to the lifting points. |
The weight and the instructions that are given herein describe the machine as the machine is manufactured by Prentice.
Refer to the Operation and Maintenance, "Specifications" for specific weight information.
Note: Only lift objects from approved lifting points and with approved lifting devices
- Use proper rated cables and slings for lifting. The crane should be positioned so that the machine is lifted parallel to the ground.
- To prevent contact with the machine, lifting cables should have sufficient length.
- Move the hydraulic lockout control to the LOCKED position.
- Install the steering frame lock.
- Thread the cable around each of four axles.
- Apply the proper protector to prevent machine/wire damage and slippage.
There are two methods that can be used to tie down a machine. Local and/or regional regulations will determine which method to use.
Note: Obey all local and regional governmental regulations.
In areas where frictional lashing is not allowed, direct lashing can be used as shown below.

Tie Down Point - In order to tie down the machine, attach the tie-downs to the tie down points. |
The weight and the instructions that are given herein describe the machine as the machine is manufactured by Prentice.
Refer to the Operation and Maintenance, "Specifications" for specific weight information.
- Use proper rated cables and shackles for tying down the machine.
- Move the hydraulic lockout control to the LOCKED position.
- Install steering frame lock.
- If there is a requirement of diagonal lashing for tying down, use the proper tie-down point on the lower frame. Set the lashing angle which is on the longitudinal axis of the machine and the cable, at 30 to 50 degrees.
