TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING
Follow these guidelines when lifting with truck or trolley:
•
The lift truck must be able to lift at least 1.5
– 2 times
the machines gross weight.
•
Make sure the machine is balanced. While
transporting, avoid rough or jerky motion, and maintain
a safe clearance zone around the transport area.
•
Use a forklift with sufficient lifting capacity and forks
that are long enough to reach the complete width of
the machine.
•
Remove the securing bolts that attach the machine to
the pallet.
•
Approaching the machine from the side, lift the machine on the frame taking care that there
are no cables or pipes in the area of the forks.
•
Move the machine to the required position and lower gently to the floor.
•
Level the machine so that all the supporting feet are taking the weight of the machine and no
rocking is taking place.
Follow these guidelines when lifting crane or hoist:
•
Always lift and carry the machine with the lifting
straps around the head of the machine.
•
Take proper precautions for handling and lifting.
Remove the coolant valve bracket from the head
to avoid damaging it.
DO NOT let the lift strap
damage the guard limit switch or guard support
bracket.
•
Check to see that the machine head is secured to
the column using the socket wrench provided on
nut (A).
IMPORTANT: Failure to lock the
machine head to the column may result in personal
injury or machine damage.
NOTICE: Lifting and carrying operations should be carried out by skilled workers, such as a
truck operator, crane operator, etc. If a crane is used to lift the machine, attach the lifting
chain carefully, making sure the machine is well balanced.
