6.1 Assembly

delivered partially disassembled to minimise volume for shipping. Assembly instructions can

machine is operated, or the reservoir will be damaged.
6.2 Moving
When the machine is standing upright it may be easily moved on its castor wheels, using the
large grab-handle provided. To ensure stability, the cradle should be positioned 100mm off
the ground when moving.
A small accessory is available from Simpro which enables a directional lock on the castor
wheels. In some applications this makes the machine easier to manoeuvre.
Extra care should be taken when moving the machine on sloping ground.
6.3 Lifting
If the machine 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.
Standard Multi-Tip machines weigh between 150kg and 200kg. Always verify the weight
of the machine on the rating plate, and check that the lifting equipment to be used has
sufficient capacity.
Never stand or reach underneath the machine while it is being lifted.
6.4 Transportation
Carry out the following procedure when the machine needs to be transported:
1. Apply both foot-brakes and turn the battery isolator switch to OFF.
2. If possible, use lifting equipment to place the machine upright on a wooden pallet,
and securely strap it into place.
3. Use a 1-tonne forklift to load the pallet onto the truck deck.
