UNLOADING
Machine can be easily unloaded and transported by a forklift with a minimum capacity of
2500 lbs.
1. Carefully insert the forks into the lifting tubes to the maximum possible depth. Depending
on the model, a forklift access may be either at the turntable end of the machine frame, the
tower end or both. In case of the mongoose machine enter the forks under the frame or
insert the forks in the tube brackets welded to the top of the machine.
2. Lift the machine (or other part of system) only to the necessary height to move it with no
bouncing or friction on the floor.
3. Sit the machine down assuring uniform contact with the floor, which is necessary to
ensure correct and smooth operation.
