Machine Transportation
3.1
Lifting
WARNING!
Only use approved lifting equipment which is correctly fastened to the machine. This will
increase your personal safety. Failure to follow the safety instructions could result in accidents and
serious injuries.
The vehicle used to transport the machine must be sufficiently powerful, of an appropriate size and suitably
prepared for the purpose.
Before transporting the machine, see Section 1.4 giving the weights and dimensions of the machine.
Transportation should be carried out by qualified haulage contractors who guarantee correct handling of the
material being carried.
The Manufacturer accepts no liability for transportation arranged by the Customer or by haulage contractors
appointed by the latter. The machine must be loaded, taking care to avoid damage to the same by any other
loads.
Before using, check that the available means are intact and suitable. Select ropes and/or chains that have a
minimum Safe Working Load (SWL) of 1.5 tonnes, attaching them only to the lifting points designed for that
purpose and marked with the relative symbol.
