10 Handling
warning
attention
SKA motors usually weigh over 30 kg. Therefore, they must be handled with caution and moved
with the assistance of several people, preferably using lifting equipment.
Always use lifting equipment with an appropriate capacity to cater for the weight of the motor and
use proper coupling systems (hooks, ropes, chains, etc.) for the weight to be lifted.
Avoid hooking directly up to motor parts when handling the motor: use the lifting eyebolts
instead.
If you need to move the motor using other lifting points than those provided, proper lifting straps
may be used, provided they can bear the weight and are long enough so they can be placed at
the sides of the motor so that its total length is divided into equal sections.
The straps must wrap around the body of the motor without resting on the table, guides or cable
support chain, as these could be damaged when the motor is lifted.
Always follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the lifting system.
If the motors are not installed immediately, they must be stored in their original crate in a dry,
clean area that is not subject to vibration and is protected against sudden shifts in temperature
that could cause condensation.
