4. Assembly, Handling and Storage
4.1 Assembly
The Multi-Tip is usually delivered fully assembled. However, sometimes the machine may be
delivered partially disassembled to minimise volume for shipping. Assembly instructions can
be viewed at the following link:

machine is operated, or the reservoir may be damaged.
4.2 Moving
When the Multi-Tip is standing upright it can be easily moved on its castor wheels, using the
grab-handle provided. To ensure stability, the cradle should be positioned approximately
100mm off the ground when moving.
An accessory is available from Simpro which enables a directional lock on the castor
wheels. This can make the machine easier to manoeuvre on sloping ground.
Extra care should be taken when moving the machine on sloping ground.
4.3 Lifting
If the Multi-Tip needs to be lifted for any reason, carry out the following procedure:
1. Check that the lifting equipment is in good condition and rated to lift at least 250kg.
2. Affix a sling or chain to the lifting lug at the top of the mast.
3. Use one person to operate the lifting equipment, and at least one other person to
hold the machine steady and watch for hazards.
4. Lift, move and lower the machine into position, ensuring it remains upright at all times.
The standard Multi-Tip weighs approximately 160kg. Never attempt to lift the machine
using equipment with insufficient lifting capacity.
Never stand or reach underneath the machine while it is being lifted.
4.4 Transport
If the Multi-Tip needs to be transported, carry out the following procedure:
1. Lower the cradle, apply the brakes, and depress the Emergency Stop (on older
machines, turn the battery isolator switch OFF).
2. Using a 1-tonne fork truck and the integral fork pockets, place the machine upright
onto a wooden pallet. Tie it down with plastic strapping.
3. Load the pallet onto the deck of the transport vehicle.
