E TRANSPORT, HANDLING AND STORAGE
E1 Introduction
Transport (i.e. transfer of the machine from one place
to another) and handling (i.e. transfer inside work-
places) must occur with the use of special equipment
of adequate capacity.
The machine must only be transported, handled and
stored by qualified personnel, who must have:
- specific technical training and experience;
- knowledge of the safety regulations and applicable
laws in the relevant sectors;
- knowledge of the general safety provisions;
- the ability to recognize and avoid any possible haz-
ard.
E1.1 Transport: Instructions for the carrier
E2 Handling
Arrange a suitable area with flat floor for machine
unloading and storage operations.
E2.1 Procedures for handling operations
For correct and safe lifting operations:
• use the type of equipment most suitable for charac-
teristics and capacity (e.g. lift trucks or electric pal-
let truck);
• cover sharp edges;
• check the forks and lifting procedures according to
the instructions given on the packing.
Before lifting:
• send all operators to a safe position and prevent
persons from accessing the handling zone;
• make sure the load is stable;
• make sure no material can fall during lifting, and
manoeuvre vertically in order to avoid impacts;
• handle the machine, keeping it at minimum height
from the ground.
E2.2 Translation
The operator must:
• have a general view of the path to be followed;
• stop the manoeuvre in case of hazardous situa-
tions.
E2.3 Placing the load
Before placing the load make sure the path is free and
that the floor is flat and can take the load.
E3 Storage
The machine and/or its parts must be stored and pro-
tected against damp, in a non-aggressive place free of
vibrations and with room temperature of between -
10°C / 14°F and 50°C / 122°F.
The place where the machine is stored must have a
flat support surface in order to avoid any twisting of the
machine or damage to the support feet.
WARNING!
Do not stand under suspended
loads during the loading/
unloading phases. Unauthor-
ized personnel must not
access the work zone.
WARNING!
The machine’s weight alone is
not sufficient to keep it steady.
The transported load can shift:
- when braking;
- when accelerating;
- in corners;
- on particularly rough roads.
WARNING!
For machine lifting, do not use
movable or weak parts such as
casings, electrical raceways,
pneumatic parts, etc., as
anchoring points.
WARNING!
Machine positioning, installa-
tion and disassembly must be
carried out by a specialized
technician.
IMPORTANT!
Do not make modifications to the parts
supplied with the machine. Any miss-
ing or faulty parts must be replaced
with original parts.
