Notes: 1. Machine in “Fine Mode-F” (Power Boost), for lifting capacities.
2. The above loads are in compliance with SAE J1097 and ISO 10567 Hydraulic Excavator Lifting Capacity Standards.
3. Rated loads do not exceed 87% of hydraulic lifting capacity or 75% of tipping load.
4. Rated loads marked with an asterisk (*) are limited by hydraulic capacity rather than tipping load.
