7.3.14 LIFTING THE HYDRAULIC 5/7 MK4 _____________________________________
SLINGING POINTS:
The complete rear unit can be lifted using the two slinging
points as shown.
The weight of the unit is biased towards the rear (Lighting
Bar) and additional slings maybe required.
FORKLIFT POINTS:
With extreme care the unit can be lifted using a forklift.
The forks should be positioned at points (A) maximum
640mm apart (outside to outside). The Hydraulic 5/7 can
only be lifted from the hydraulic tank side of the machine
with the centre cutting unit raised and set at a minimum
height of cut. Ensure forklift is centralised on the machine.
When lifting greatest care should be taken to ensure all the
weight of the 5/7 is being transferred through the main beam
and onto the forks. The rear roll on the cutting unit
no.1 should be taking a minimum amount of Hydraulic 5/7
weight and is only being used to stabilise the unit. Maximum
transport speed 1 m.p.h.
