TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING
IMPORTANT: 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.
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 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.

Keep the floor free of oil and make sure it is not slippery.
