The width of the spreader bar should be sufficient for preventing contact with the side of the machine.Steering cylinder locks and hitch pivot locks are required to lift the machine. Contact your local Cat dealer for more information on the hitch pivot locks.
Shut off the engine. Engage the parking brake. Leave the bowl in a RAISED position.
Place stops on the steering cylinders in order to prevent the tractor from turning.
Place stops above the pivot stops in order to prevent the tractor from pivoting.
Attach two lifting cables to the lifting eyes that are located above the bowl near the fuel tank.
Wrap a sling around the left steering arm. Wrap a sling around the right steering arm. The slings should be placed as close to the hitch as possible.
Connect the four lifting cables and center the cables over the machine.

Each machine is equipped with tie-down brackets. Attach the tie down chains or attach the tie-down straps to the tie-down brackets.
Lower the bowl before you install the tie-downs.
Place blocks under the front wheels and place blocks under the rear wheels. If the blocks cannot be placed under the wheels, place the blocks in a suitable location to prevent machine movement during transport.
Install tie-downs at several locations.
Use the front machine retrieval pin to tie down the front of the machine. If the machine is equipped with a bail in the tractor, the bail can be used as a tie-down from several angles.
Use the rear machine retrieval pins or use the rear machine retrieval hooks to tie down the rear of the machine from several angles.
