Storage, transportation
Storage
• Protect the machine from wet conditions and rain. Pay particular attention to
preventing the electrical equipment from becoming wet.
• Make sure that all of the exposed metal surfaces of the machine are lightly
greased to prevent corrosion when storing the device for extended periods
of time.
Transportation
The machine can be lifted at one side with the pushing handle and then pushed
by a single person.
The machine may only be transported in the horizontal (working) position if the
intended transportation container is stable enough. The device must be protected
against sliding and tilting.
