Transporting with a crane
Non-compliance with the safety regulations for load suspension and hoisting equipment may cause
severe accidents during lifting and moving the machine with cranes.
➤ Do not enter the danger zone while the machine is being lifted.
➤ Never lift and move the machine over people or occupied buildings.
➤ Avoid extreme weight shifting caused by additional loads or additions (tilting).
➤ Do not exceed the lifting capacity on the machine's lifting point (lifting eye).
➤ Only the designated lifting point should be used to attach lifting gear and under no circumstan‐
ces are handles, tow-bar or other components to be used.
➤ Use only hooks and shackles that comply with local safety regulations
➤ Do not attach cables, chains or ropes directly to the machine's lifting eye.
➤ Do not manipulate the crane suspension system, in particular the holding points of the crane
lifting eye.
➤ If screwed crane fixings had to be removed, please use only new self-locking nuts when instal‐
ling.
➤ Avoid jerking when lifting, as this may damage components.
➤ Loads must be slowly lifted and carefully set down.
➤ Never allow the load to hang from the crane longer than necessary.
The following are forbidden:

drance.
➤ Do not operate in areas in which specific requirements with regard to explosion protection are
in force.
For instance, the requirements of ATEX directive 94/9/EC "Equipment and Protective Systems
intended for use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres".
➤ Ensure adequate ventilation.
➤ Place the machine in such a manner that the working conditions in its environment are not im‐
paired.
➤ Comply with limit values for ambient temperature and humidity.
