3.9 Transport safety
a)
Be aware of your surroundings and machine operating level. Do not side hill, do not run on steep incline,
this could cause machine to tip over.
b)
The weight of the BMP-4000E is 1550 kg without drum. Use a crane or lift when transporting the machine,
use the existing lifting eyes / lugs of the machine.
c)
Before every use check the lifting eyes/lugs and welds for:
deformation, damages, cracks, corrosion and wear.
d)
Each lifting lug has a WLL of 1500kg, only lift the machine as shown in the picture below.
e)
When lifting the machine from the ground, always use the lowest lifting speed. The cables must first be
tensioned at this speed; they must not be slack when the machine is lifted from the ground.
f)
During hoisting make sure to be at a safe distance from the machine with the most optimal view on the
machine and working environment.
g)
Never stand directly below or behind the machine.
h)
When transporting the machine do so in such a manner that damage due to the effects of the use of force
or incorrect loading and unloading is avoided.
i)
The lifting eyes/lugs can also be used to fasten the machine on a pallet or during transport.
j)
Always drive backwards when driving up to a ramp or grade, and forwards when driving of the ramp.
k)
Chock wheels for transport and keep control handles in neutral position.
l)
Don’t leave the machine unsecured on jobsites.
m)
Always use the handbrake when machine is parked.
n)
Always park the machine on a flat horizontal and levelled surface.
o)
Make sure the electrical cable and dust hose are disconnected between the BMP-4000 and the dust
collector.
p)
Store the cleaned and dry machine in a humid free room. Protect the electrical motor from moisture, heat
dust and shocks.
q)
Never use the machine for lifting persons or items.
r)
Drive preferably with the wheels folded out, this provides the most stability.
Never allow other persons besides the
operator to be transported by the
machine.
