4. Precautions and Preparation
5. Operation
4.1 The floor must be absolutely level, smooth and clean. There must be no inclines
or slopes to be moved over. Make sure that the floor and the floor covering
are to stand up to the loading imposed by the weight of the furniture being
transported.
4.2 Check whether the cabinet or furniture to be transported contains any loose
objects. These will have to be removed, or secured against slopping out of
position.
4.3 Check whether the furniture is strong enough for the two opposite sides to take
the weight of the piece via the transport units’ platforms, and whether the upper
supports of the transport units can hold the furniture to be transport without
damaging it.
4.4 Find the weight of the furniture to be transported. The maximum load of
1800 kg/pair =900 kg for each unit must not be exceeded.
4.5 Find the center of gravity of the furniture to be transported. Along the furniture
base, it is the decisive for the load that a single transport unit can bear, across
the base, for the center of the transport unit, and, in connection with the height,
for the moment of tilting that occurs when moving the furniture. When in use,
the height of the center of gravity must not exceed 0.8m. The distance of the
transport units to one another must not be less than 0.5m and no more than
4.0m (furniture of the securing straps).
4.6 Never use this equipment for towing by a vehicle.
Before use, the transport components should be checked for function, and for any
damage. If there are visible defects, the components should not be used. Damaged
parts must be replaced.
Since the hydraulic furniture mover consists of two parts, it is necessary for two persons
to operate them.
Remove the fork pin at the free end of the track rod, set the steering handles parallel
to each other, and push the fork of the track rod over the arm of the steering handle.
Then replace the previously - removed fork pin through the fork and arm and secure
it with split ring.
The second unit is assembled in the same way.
