Due to the weight of the machine, all lifting and transporting must be
carried out using proper handling equipment (i.e. fork lift trolley) that
complies with current regulations, and by people having undergone the
necessary training.
Thermo strongly recommends that all operators comply with the local
laws and regulations on safety and health in the workplace.
The machine must be supported from underneath. If it has to be

handling assistance is required.
