Delivery of the Machine/Packaging
Note any markings on the packaging, such as weights, lifting points and special information. Avoid
temperature fluctuations. Condensation may damage the machine.
Transport Damage
The packaging and machine must immediately be examined for signs of damage in transit. Such damage
must be reported to the shipper/transporter within the applicable time limits. Contact Atlanta Attachment
Company and/or your transport insurer immediately, if signs of damage are visible. Never operate a
damaged machine.
Interim Storage
If the machine has to be stored temporarily, it must be oiled or greased and stored in a dry place where it
is protected from the weather in order to avoid damage. A corrosion-inhibiting coating should be applied
if the machine has to be stored for a longer period of time and additional precautions taken to avoid
corrosion.
Transporting the Machine
Disconnect the machine from all external connections and secure any loose assemblies or parts. Never
step under a suspended load. When transporting the machine or assemblies in a crate, ensure that the
ropes or arms of a forklift truck are positioned as close to the edge of the crate as possible. The center of
gravity is not necessarily in the middle of the crate. Note the accident prevention regulations, safety
instructions and local regulations governing transport of the machine and its assemblies.
Only use suitable transport vehicles, hoisting gear and load suspension devices that are in perfect
working order and of adequate carrying capacity. Transport should only be entrusted to duly qualified
personnel.
Never allow the straps to rest against the machine enclosure and never push or pull sensitive parts of the
machine. Ensure that the load is always properly secured. Before or immediately after loading the
machine, secure it properly and affix corresponding warnings.
All transport guards and lifting devices must be removed before the machine is started up again. Any
parts that are to be removed for transport must be carefully refitted and secured before the machine is
started up again.
Workplace Environment
Our machines are designed for use in enclosed rooms: Permissible ambient temperature approx. 5 - 40
°C (40 - 104 °F). Malfunctions of the control systems and uncontrolled machine movements may occur
at temperatures outside this range.
Protect against climatic influences, such as electrostatic charges, lightning strikes, hail, storm damage,
high humidity, salinity of the air in coastal regions.
