GENERAL LIFTING AND HANDLING RULES
1. The
handling of the unpacked machine
must be carried out exclusively in covered
areas/worksites.
2. Ensure that the
safe working load of the lifting equipment
is greater than the weight of the
machine to be lifted, and suitable for its dimensions.
3. The lifting equipment employed must be
type-approved and subjected to regular maintenance
, in
compliance with the statutory legislation and applicable regulations.
4. Adopt all the necessary measures to ensure the maximum stability of the loads in relation to their
weight and center of mass, in compliance with the indications provided by the machine
manufacturer.
5. Before lifting a load, make sure it is
well restrained and correctly balanced
on the lifting means.
6. Take the necessary precautions to
avoid hazardous overloads
caused by acceleration,
deceleration or impact.
7. If the size of the load is such as to impede visibility of the ground,
enlist the assistance of a
second person on the ground.
8.
The machine must be handled with smooth movements, without any abrupt acceleration or
repeated stops and starts.
9. When handling the machine,
keep the load at the minimum possible height from the ground
to
pass over any obstacles; this ensures greater stability of the load itself, and improved visibility.
10. All parts, assemblies or subassemblies
that may shift while the machine is being handled
(parts
inside the crate) must be securely fixed with suitable restraining systems to avoid hazardous
movements that may impair the stability and balance of the load, causing it to overturn, causing
parts to fall, or even causing the total or partial overturning of the handling vehicle itself.
11. To aid stability and avoid
undue mechanical stress during lifting, handling and transport
, the
electric panels and various separately shipped items, irrespective of their geometrical
characteristics,
must remain upright
.
12. Furthermore, the safety measures and prescriptions provided in
chapter 4
must be observed.
LIFTING OF THE MACHINE
Use proper techniques to safely lift the machine: the operation should be performed with two people.
To lift:
1.
Re-enter the stabilizing parking legs.
2.
Make sure the machine is unplugged and powered off.
3.
Select firm non-moving lifting points such as the handles.
4.
Bend your knees while lifting; do not force your back.
Do not ever lift the machine by its tires, its fenders or its wheels. Hands or fingers could
become caught between wheel and fender resulting in severe injury.
