5. INSTALLATION
5.1 INTRODUCTION
The operations described in this chapter are of particular importance as they explain the
installation, disassembly and raising the sliding head procedures of the machine. Experience
has shown that accidents (fortunately rare) have never occurred during normal operation, but
have always occurred during the installation process, raising the sliding head, and even more
during the disassembly process of the machine. During these operations there are utensils
and equipment, material and components of the machine which have not yet been
permanently fixed and they simply rest on the horizontal level of the working area and the
machine itself can seem to be stable even though it is not yet completely and definitely
mounted and anchored to the structure in question.
The operations of: loading/unloading, handling, transporting, assembling, using and
disassembling the machine must be carried out by personnel who is trained appropriately
and effectively and directly monitored by the site manager (SUPERVISOR) who has to
ensure that the above mentioned operations are carried out up to standard, in compliance
with all the safety conditions and meticulously adhering to the instructions found within this
instruction manual.
All the components constituting the machine must be meticulously checked and examined
before every new installation, in order to remove and unequivocally mark any parts which
may be broken, deformed, cracked, corroded or affected by other factors, and no longer
ensure sufficient reliability. The members of staff, qualified and trained in carrying out the
operations of assembling, checking, handling, using and disassembling the machine, must
use suitable equipment, according to the particular risks they may be exposed to and
individual protection gear such as, work gloves, hard hat, safety footwear with non-slip soles
and reinforced metal as well as a toe-cap, safety belts with shoulder straps having hook
components, and high visibility jacket, etc.
