7.6.2 Risks arising from an incorrect positioning of the machine
The position where the machine will be mounted is actually defined and the machine is
prepared for this operation.
For this operation, the drafted and executive project plans of the building in question must be
consulted, with particular reference to the underground and underlying conformation of the
area chosen, together with the Use and Maintenance Instruction Manual of the machine.
Possible risks:
— weak flooring is chosen for the installed base unit to rest on
—
underground pipelines or cavities
—
difficulties with the power supply
Prevention and safety measures:
— the total load that will weigh on the machine’s base unit flooring must be determined
before-hand, based upon the indications given in the Instruction Manual. The person
responsible for the installation must communicate the total intended loads to the
Qualified Technician, who is designated by the Firm or by the Owner. After having
carried out the necessary verification calculations, the Technician will issue a written
statement certifying approval of the flooring which is to withstand the intended loads
— it must be ascertained that there are no pipelines, sewage systems or any other
underground cavities that can result in the base unit giving way and/or sinking, at no
point in time during the operational life of the machine
— suitable power supply, which is in accordance with the regulations, is to be organized
together with the earthing system
7.6.3 Shearing risk deriving from the machine proximity to obstacles

shearing for people or present on structures adjacent to machine elevation path. By obstacle
it is meant any object which is protruding towards the machine elevation path to a safe
distance from it.
Possible risks:
—
shearing risk / trapping hazard for people moving on buildings or structures adjacent to
machine elevation path
Prevention and safety measures:
— wherever possible, install a barrier protecting the machine to any obstacle near its
elevation path
