Handling
4. Handling
Usually the packaged and palletised machine is transported to
the retailer/dealer who, by means of its personnel and suitable
means, in compliance with current regulations, will itself make
the delivery to the end user, ensuring transport and unloading
operations depending on the type of transport vehicle.
Each package, on the outside, shows the machine handling
instructions in brief.
Upon delivery, check that the thermodisinfector is intact and
that the material indicated in the delivery document is actually
present. In case of damage or inaccuracies in the delivery,
immediately notify Tuttnauer Europe b.v. of the extent of the
damage or inconsistencies found.
Should the need arise for transfers, the machine can be eas-
ily loaded on suitable equipment and on the available lifting
equipment.
HAZARD. The loading/unloading operations can be
very dangerous if not carried out with the utmost care.
Therefore, before starting loading/unloading, move
unauthorised persons away; clear and delimit the area
where the operation takes place, and check the integrity
and suitability of the lifting and transportation equipment
available.
Also make sure that the area of operation is clear and that there
is sufficient “escape space”, that is, a free and safe area, in
which to move quickly in the event that the load falls. Before
loading, check that there is sufficient space on the surface
of the transport vehicle to accommodate the machine to be
transferred.
WARNING. After loading the machine, secure it firmly to
the surface on which it rests with taut ropes to block any
possible movement.
