Lifting the machine
The machine can be lifted for loading onto a vehicle.
CAUTION
Risk of material damage and injuries. The use of defective or
unsuitable lifting gear may cause the machine to fall down.
Use slings that possess the appropriate carrying capacity.
Lock the guide bar in place in the folded position.
Fit the crane hook into the lifting ring and lift the machine
up straight.
Transport of the machine requires that the battery pack be
disconnected from the machine.
Transporting the battery pack
on a vehicle
Transporting the battery pack on a vehicle requires that the
battery pack be stored on a level surface. The battery pack
must be secured such that it cannot move. Any regulations
prescribing methods of transportation, such as requirements
stipulating storage in a specific storage compartment, must be
observed.
In addition, the following measures must be taken as well:
Remove the battery pack from the machine and protect it
with cushioning material.
Make sure the inlet and outlet openings are pointing down
when loading and securing the battery pack to keep rain
water from entering the interior.
Do not throw the battery pack.
Avoid direct sunlight and refrain from transporting the
battery pack in a location that may become very hot (e.g.
a closed vehicle).
Do not stack battery packs.
Do not place luggage on top of the battery pack. Make sure
that other pieces of luggage cannot slide and collide with
the battery pack.
Transporting the battery pack
on ships or planes
Shipment by third parties (e.g. by air freight or carriers)
mandates that you follow specific requirements regarding
packaging and labeling. Consult an expert in hazardous
materials when preparing the item to be shipped for transport.
Ship only battery packs that are undamaged. Also observe
any and all national regulations.
