8 TRANSPORT, STORAGE, LIFTING AND HANDLING
8.1 Transport and storage
Packaging
:
Supplied directly by
ma
s
e
.
The total weight of the packed generator is given in
Paragraph 2.6 “Table of technical characteristics”.
It is strictly prohibited to pollute the environment with the packaging
Transport
:
During transport the generator (with or without packaging) must be protected against atmospheric
agents, it must not be turned upside down and must be protected against knocks. The generator must be transported
without fuel to prevent leaks during travel.
Storage
:
The generator must be stored in horizontal position and away from atmospheric agents and humidity.
8.2 Lifting and handling
All the lifting operations must be carried out by personnel specialised in this type of work, such as truck
drivers, crane drivers, slingers.
The operator is considered
responsible for using the correct machine slinging and
lifting technique.
8.2.1 Lifting and handling with crane
The machine must be lifted and handled with the systems
indicated in the picture. Check that the hoisting cables or
chains are homologated or of sufficient capacity, and also
check the minimum cable length. Calculate the cable
capacity considering that for each of the two sling sections
a weight about double that shown on the identification plate
of the machine has to be supported (this is to compensate
for the cable angle). Always use the eyebolts provided by
the manufacturer and always marked with a pictogram.
ALWAYS TAKE THESE PRECAUTIONS WHEN
LIFTING THE GENERATOR:
Do not swing suspended loads.
Never leave the load unattended.
Lower the generator to the ground very slowly.
Always maintain the safety distance.
8.2.2 Lifting and handling with forklift truck
Use a lift truck to handle
the generator (with capacity
greater than the weight of the generator indicated in the
table of technical characteristics (
par. 2.6
) of the Use and
Maintenance Manual), inserting the forks under the base
at the lower part of the generator.
For handling on level ground,
a transpallet is sufficient
with a suitable capacity according to the table of technical
characteristics (
par.2.3
) of the Use and Maintenance
Manual.
The centre of gravity of the
generator corresponds to about the centre of its
geometrical volume.
