4.4. Handling, Transport, Storing
When handling the machine keep safety
regulation shown in this manual and well as
general safety rules valid for operation of lifting
or hoisting equipment.
4.4.1. Manual Handling
For manual lifting, cooperation of mode people
is required. Hold the machine by frame or the
base plate. Never lift the machine by engine.
4.4.2. Handling by Crane
Use a crane of sufficient payload (see Technical
Data). Observe the regulations valid for
operation of cranes. Only qualified personnel
may carry out this work.
Fasten the lifting cable to the marked point at
the machine.
4.4.3. Handling by Forklift
Should be the machine extensively handled by a
forklift (as when sending it by a parcel service),
it is recommended to palletize it. For one
machine one small pallet (0,6x0,8 m) can be
used, for two machines use standard EUR pallet
(1,2x0,8m).
4.4.4. Transport
Secure the machine against rolling over, falling
down or sliding on the carrier. Fasten the
binding means to suitable points at the frame.
NOTE:
The machine must be kept in upright position. In
case of tipping the machine, see point 3.5.
4.4.5. Storing
Store the machine on a safe place, secured from
theft and misuse. We recommend an indoor dry
place, without excessive concentration of
chemical agents and dust.
Prior to long-term storing clean the machine,
repair the paint and apply suitable preservation
agents. Mark visibly that the machine has been
conservated.
4.5. Special Conditions of Operation
4.5.1. Work at Low Temperatures
The cutter is able to work even at low
temperatures. Let the engine to warm up
sufficiently before commencing the work.
In case that the machine is difficult to start, let it
warm up at room temperature first.
4.5.2. Work at High Altitudes
With rising altitude the engine power decreases
due to changed air/fuel ratio. The engine power
can be partially improved by changing of the
main nozzle and different adjustment of the
carburetor (gasoline engines) or different
adjustment by the injector (diesel engines).
In case that the engine should work long-term
above 1500 m above seal level, we recommend
to contact a nearest authorized service for the
respective engine.
In case that you plan this kind of operation
already when purchasing a new machine, notify
the manufacturer.
4.5.3. Work in Dusty Environment
In case of dusty environment shorten the
cleaning/replacement intervals of the air filter to
half. Clean the machine from dust regularly.
