Note: Significant deviations can affect shipping the machine, or significant deviations can affect lifting the machine. Some examples of these deviations are listed below:

Different implements
Additional fuel
Wider track shoes
Tracks with accumulated mud

The parking brake must be engaged before you sling the machine. Engage the parking brake before you secure the machine with tie-downs.

Use properly rated cables and properly rated slings for lifting. For a machine without a ripper, position the slings beneath the front of the track and beneath the rear of the track. For a machine with a ripper, position the slings beneath the front of the track and under the ripper at the rear of the machine.

On sharp corners, use corner protectors. The crane should be positioned so that the machine may be lifted in a level plane. The spreader bars should be wide enough to prevent contact with the machine.

Tie down locations are listed below:
- Use the eye of the front tie-down in order to tie down the front of the machine.
- Use the inside edge of the track shoe in order to tie down the sides of the machine.
- Use the drawbar, the ripper, or the outer edge of the track shoe in order to tie down the rear of the machine.
Check the state laws and the local laws that govern the following load characteristics.
- Weight
- Width
- Length
- Height
