TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING
Follow these guidelines when lifting:

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 fork lift 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.
INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
Consider the following when looking for a suitable location to place the machine:

Overall weight of the machine.

Weight of material being processed.

Sizes of material to be processed through the machine.

Space needed for auxiliary stands, work tables, or other machinery.

Clearance from walls and other obstacles.

Maintain an adequate working area around the machine for safety.

Have the work area well illuminated with proper lighting.
CAUTION:
Lifting and carrying operations should be carried out by
skilled workers, such as a truck operator. Make sure the machine is well balanced.
Choose a location that will keep the machine free from vibration and dust from other
machinery. Keep in mind that having a large clearance area around the machine is
important for safe and efficient working conditions.
