1.6.6 Lifting the Machine or Components
Use only a lifting device and related equipment that is capacity rated to lift
the total weight of the machining center (and shipping skid, if the skid is
attached during lifting). Always follow the lifting instructions provided in the
Pre-Installation Guide.
Before lifting, refer to shipping documents to obtain the weight of the
machine or component being lifted. If the necessary weights cannot be
determined, consult Makino. In addition:
• Only qualified riggers should perform machine lifting operations.
• Never place any portion of your body beneath a suspended object.
• Lift the machining center only at the designated lifting points.
• Never lift the machine higher than necessary.
• Always maintain the center of gravity by properly adjusting the leg
lengths of the lifting device.
1.6.7 Lifting Workpieces and Fixtures
Always use a lifting device and related lifting equipment that is capacity
rated for the workpiece or fixture being lifted.
• Never place hands, arms, feet, or any other portion of your body
beneath a suspended workpiece fixture.
• Always maintain the center of gravity by properly adjusting the leg
lengths of the lifting device.
