
The work may only be carried out by suitable, trained and expressly author-
ised personnel.

Suitable means of transportation and lifting equipment (e.g. crane, forklift
truck, lifting tackle ...) are to be used.

Determine the transportation route early, and remove possible obstacles.

Check that all safety and transportation devices are fully operational.

Secure all danger areas appropriately, even if they only exist briefly.

The person responsible for transportation must ensure that the machine is
transported appropriately.

Unauthorised persons are to be kept away from the transport route. The areas
concerned must be cordoned off.
