TUBE- 3236975 - Caterpillar

Disconnect any auxiliary hoses from the work tool (if equipped).
Ensure that the work tool is clear of the ground.
Fully extend the bucket cylinder. Extend the stick cylinder until the wedge is pointing downward. The load is now released from the wedge.Quick Coupler (Dedicated Wedge Lock)
Place the work tool or bucket in a safe position before disengaging the coupler. Disengaging the coupler will release the work tool or bucket from control of the operator.Serious injury or death may result from disengaging the work tool or bucket when it is in an unstable position or carrying a load.
Extend the wedge cylinder.
Retract the bucket cylinder. The work tool is now suspended by the front pivot.
Place the work tool on the ground.
Unhook the quick coupler from the mounting bracket.Lifting Loads
Lifting loads with the quick coupler is only permitted when there is no work tool attached. Lifting loads when there is a work tool attached may result in serious injury or death.
Assoon as the excavator will be used to lift loads of more than 1000 kg, the excavator must comply with the requirements for lifting machinery. These are given in standard EN 474-5. For more information, consult your excavator dealer.
Note: When you lift loads with the lifting hook, the wedge must be retracted.Lifting Hook

Fully extend the bucket cylinder.
Make sure that the wedge has been retracted.
Use an appropriate lifting device that is rated for the specific load. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
Fasten an appropriate chain, cable, or a lifting strap to the lifting hook. Do not perform any lifting operations if the safety latch is missing. Do not perform any lifting operations if the safety latch is damaged. Contact your supplier.
Consult the following Table 1 for the maximum lifting load of the lifting hook.
Table 1
Maximum Lifting Load of the Lifting Hook
Serial Number Prefix Maximum Load(1)
T1W 5000 kg (11023 lb)
E23 5000 kg (11023 lb)
J2G 5000 kg (11023 lb)
(1) As the boom of the host machine is extended, the maximum load of the hoisting hook can become greater than the maximum load of the host machine. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual of the host machine for information regarding the maximum load capacity.Lifting Objects
To prevent injury, do not exceed the rated load capacity of the machine. If the machine is not on level ground, load capacities will vary.
Refer to the load charts in the Operation and Maintenance Manual of the host machine. Use the load charts and account for the mass of the work tool. Calculate the load capacity relative to the location of the lifting point on your specific host machine.The lifting point has a maximum capacity. The capacity is marked on the lifting point or near the lifting point. Do not exceed the maximum capacity.Use a sling or a shackle to attach to the lifting point and lift the object. The sling or the shackle must have a rated capacity that is greater than the mass of the load.If the machine is equipped
