Notes on unloading
DANGER!
Danger to life caused by suspended loads!
If heavy parts swing out and fall down they can cause severe or even fatal injuries.
Never step under or into the slewing range of suspended loads.
Move loads only under supervision.
Use only lifting gear and lifting tackle of appropriate capacity for the weight of the component to
be lifted.
Do not use any cracked or torn lifting tackle, like ropes or belts.
Follow the "Transport and loading instructions" accompanying the load.
Ensure adequate free space when unloading parts are up to 10.80 m long.
Take care of eccentric centre of gravity.
Wear hard hat, safety shoes and safety gloves.
WARNING!
Danger of injury by sharp edged parts!
When unloading the parts of the DEGERtracker, sharp edged parts can cause serious hand
injuries.
Wear safety gloves.
The DEGERtracker is delivered in a compact bundled form. Appropriate hoisting gear (forklift truck,
excavator, crane), can be used for unloading at the site and only be operated by trained personnel who have
been specially instructed for this purpose.
3.1.2
Dimensions and weights
The weight of the individual packages can be found in the "Loading list", which is attached to the freight
documents. The centre of gravity and the lifting points for unloading are identified directly on the package.
For the weights of individual assemblies and parts please refer to the chapter "Product description" of the bill
of materials for the scope of delivery.
3.2
Intermediate storage
DANGER!
Danger to life caused by uncontrolled moving parts!
If heavy parts swing out and fall down they can cause severe or even fatal injuries. The tightening
strap for fixing the toggle lever to the rotating head must only be removed after the elevation drive
has been assembled.
ATTENTION!
Remove the pallet from under the rotating head just before assembling the rotating head to the
mast!
If the rotating head is directly placed on the ground, there is a risk that the AZ-drive may be
damaged.
Use a flat surface for intermediate storage. In the case of very soft soil it is highly recommended to place
timber beams under the steel parts.
Strictly comply with the climatic conditions listed in the chapter "Technical data".
