3.3. Transportation
To transport the machine it is necessary to use a
suitable vehicle equipped with a platform to lift the
load; the platform must be adequate for the weight
of the machine, which is stated in the technical
characteristics section (section 1.13).
When the machine, still in its packaging, is in the
body of the lorry, it can be carried to the lifting
platform only by means of a manual transportation
trolley for euro pallets.
The lifting platform has to be equipped with side rails
in order to prevent the machine from falling when it
is still high off the ground.
The machine can be lowered to the ground from the
platform only after having lowered the manual trolley.
The machine should be lowered slowly from the
platform, avoiding shaking and sudden stops which
could cause a loss of stability.
After having completed the unloading procedures,
the machine should be moved exclusively by means
of a manual transportation trolley adequate for euro
pallets; the platform should only be lifted to the
height needed to move the machine.
Before moving the machine verify that the passage
to the final destination is clear.
Attention
Do not go on very steep ramps which could
cause the loss of control of the trolley.
3.4. Removal of the packaging
Cut the straps that anchor the cardboard to the
platform; remove the cardboard and put it out of the
way.
Cut the straps that hold the machine to the platform,
remove the machine’s plastic cover and unravel the
accessories provided.
Carefully lift the front of the machine and remove the
wooden slat blocking the front wheels; subsequently
remove also the wooden slat blocking the rear
wheels by lifting the back of the machine.
Very carefully lower the machine from the platform.
Note
Keep the original packaging; it may be
necessary to use it if the machine needs to be
sent to the manufacturer for extraordinary
maintenance or repairs.
