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 900 DC filterunit is 860 kg, the weight of the fan is 500kg. Use a crane or lift when
transporting the machine, use the 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.
e)
Pay attention that the drive unit does not turn away during lifting of the machine.
Hold on to the steering handle until the machine is of the ground.
f)
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.
g)
During hoisting make sure to be at a safe distance from the machine with the most optimal view on the
machine and working environment.
h)
Never stand directly below the machine.
i)
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.
j)
The lifting eyes/lugs can also be used to fasten the machine on a pallet or during transport.

vacuuming methods, de-dusted before being taken out from the hazardous zone. All parts of the dust
collector must be considered as contaminated when they are removed from the hazardous zone and
appropriate actions must be taken to prevent dust from dispersing.
s)
Always close the inlets of the dust collector when the dust hose is disconnected.
