Use a forklift to remove the waste-abrasive collection bag
1. Set the forks to approximately 89 cm (35 inches) apart, which is the distance between the carrying loops on
the abrasive collection bag.
2. With the forks raised to approximately 51 mm (2 inches) above the top of the hopper, move the forklift slowly
toward the hopper.
3. Put a fork through each of the carrying loops closest to the forklift, then put the forks through the second set
of loops.
4. Lift the full bag straight up out of the hopper.
WARNING
• Lifting must be done by a trained operator.
• Obey all work site-safety requirements, the safety instructions for the lifting equipment, and the
safety information in this manual.
• Misuse of lifting equipment can cause the load to become unstable, which can cause property
damage, personal injury, or death.
WARNING
Slippery surface
The abrasive collection bag can spill water onto the floor. The floor can be slippery when wet.
CAUTION
The forklift forks must be dulled or protected to prevent tearing the carrying loops.
• The maximum weight that the waste-abrasive collection bag can hold is 1,000 kg (2,205
pounds).
• Use lifting equipment that can lift and move the bag safely.
CAUTION
Make sure that the carrying loops are not twisted. Twisted loops can make the bag hard to
remove and can cause damage to the loops or to the bag.
WARNING
Do not stand below the abrasive collection bag.
CAUTION
• Lift the bag vertically, using all 4 carrying loops.
• Do not pull the carrying loops to the center.
