5.3 TRANSPORT IN ORIGINAL PACKAGING
The machine will be delivered on a pallet, a transport
base or in a crate, and should be transported in this
condition as close as possible to the installation site
The machine is fastened with bolts and screws to the
floor of the packaging, and fixed with tension straps.
Do NOT drop, overturn or tilt the machine more than
10° from the horizontal.
The gross weight of the machine including packaging
can be found in the delivery note.
1. Line up the forks of a suitable fork lift with the mark-
ings on the transport pallet.
2. Raise the machine carefully and gradually, a little at
a time.
3. Transport the machine as close as possible to the
installation site.
4. Lower the machine slowly and carefully. Do not reach
under the machine while lowering.
5.4 UNPACKING THE MACHINE
1. Cut and remove plastic wrapping, if present.
2. Use a crowbar to open the crate.
3. The machine components are bolted to the pallet
floor and secured with tension straps. Unscrew the
fastening bolts and carefully loosen the straps.
4. Take small parts and accessories off the pallet by
hand.
5.5 TRANSPORTING AN UNPACKED MACHINE
Prerequisites:
• No workpiece in the machine.
• Machine in home position.
• All moving parts secured against moving.
• Main switch is off and power supply disconnected.
• Test liquid tank is drained and detached from the
magnetising station. Power supply unplugged from
the test liquid pump.
• Fixing bolts removed from the floor.
• For units with a stand-alone
control cabinet
: remove
all cable connections between the cabinet and the
magnetisation station.
• For units with a stand-alone
transformer
cabinet:
disconnect the high-current cables between the
transformer cabinet and the magnetisation station.
Transport with a forklift
Procedure:
1. Determine the transport route and remove any
potential obstacles.
2. Insert the forks of a suitable forklift under the base
of the machine and drive the forklift as close to the
machine as possible. The forks must project at least
20 cm at the rear of the machine. If necessary, use
two forklifts to lift the machine.
3. Lift the machine carefully a small distance off the
ground. Pay attention to the centre of gravity; if
necessary, correct the position of the forks so that
the machine is securely supported by the forklift.
4. Transport the machine to the installation site as
close to the ground as possible.
5. Lower the machine slowly and carefully.
6. Transport the test liquid tank on its pallet using a
forklift truck or hoist. If necessary, secure it to the
pallet.
Transport with a crane
Procedure:
1. Move the sleeve carriage to the right-end position and
fix it there.
2. Insert eyelets into the holes in the base frame and
fasten them with nuts. Check eyelets are securely
fixed in place before transport.
3. Attach rope harness for crane transport to the red
eyelets.
• Do not use attach lifting gear to any other parts
of the machine.
• Make sure that the ropes do not run over protec-
tive grids or other attachments.
• Use one trolley of the crane for the two left eye-
lets and one trolley for the right eyelets.
4. Lift the machine carefully a small distance off the
ground. Pay attention to the centre of gravity; if
necessary, adjust the ropes so that the machine is
hanging level on the crane.
5. Transport the machine to the installation site as
close to the ground as possible.
6. Lower the machine slowly and carefully into place.
7. Remove the eyelets.
