This is a HEAVY piece of equipment, and care should be taken when lifting it into the transport
position. Use the proper technique to lift and lower the machine, and get a partner to help lift it up
and set it down whenever possible. Make sure to bend at the knees and use a back support or
mechanical lift if needed. Kegel does offer an optional piece of equipment that can assist the
operator when lifting and lowering the machine. It can be mounted next to the end pairs of lanes to
significantly reduce the transitional weight of the machine. Large centers might consider getting
one for each end of the center for more convenience.
