ATTENTION!
SLINGING THE LOADS
To safely and correctly lift and handle the machine always:
- use equipment which best suits the characteristics and has an adequate lift capacity;
- cover all sharp edges;
- make sure the safety device for the lift hook works properly;
Before lifting:
- make sure all personnel is safely away
- make sure the load is stable
- make sure there is no material which may fall when the parts are lifted
- work vertically in order to avoid banging the parts.
HOISTING
To facilitate the lifting and handling operations use bars, levers and ramps. Never use your hands. The person in charge
must:
- know the path to be followed and be able to clearly see it
- give information to the crane operator from a position where he/she can be clearly seen
- stop maneuvering when hazardous situations occur
PLACEMENT
Before placing the machine make sure the floor is perfectly level and is able to support the weight of the machine.
Do not place the loads near factory exits, fire fighting equipment, passage areas, control panels
and power lines.
The machine must be placed so that it is stable and the slings can be easily removed. Do not place worn containers
or those with protruding material on top of it.
Do not stack material at a dangerous height.
