(8) Counterweight
When the removal cylinder is used to lower the counterweight, the counterweight can wedge against the machine frame which stops the downward movement of the counterweight. Since the removal cylinder continues to retract and the counterweight stopped, slack in the chain for the removal cylinder occurs.The counterweight can suddenly fall due to the slack in the chain which could result in personal injury or death.Monitor the lowering of the counterweight when the counterweight is being lowered with the removal cylinder. If the removal cylinder is retracted and the downward movement of the counterweight stops, stop the lowering procedure and correct the wedging of the counterweight against the machine frame.
Move control lever (4) downward in order to lower counterweight (8) onto supports on the ground.
