Handling the HFP unit
The HFP weight 19kg. An ergonomic handle has fixed on the top of the unit to facilitate the handling. It is
preferable to keep the HFP in its transport box on the railborne trolley at site and to take it out when needed.
If the HFP has to be carried on long distance, the user must put down the HFP every 10m to have a rest or when
not possible switch hand to avoid reduce upper limb stresses.
4.4.3
Positioning the preheater
-
Position the HFP support and tighten the fixing screw.
-
Place the HFP on its support frame so that the spout of the HFP is positioned in the centre of the moulds.
When placing the HFP on the railhead, stand face on/perpendicular to the rail, move the unit round in front
of your body, and lean forwards to place it on and off the rail. Do not stand side on to the rail and bend
sideways and/or twist your torso when doing this task.
-
If necessary, loosen the support in order to position the HFP correctly.
-
Ensure the good stability of the HFP unit and support.
-
In case of strong wind, set up the HFP back to the wind so the flames are now blown on the HFP when it
runs at low speed during the first seconds of preheating.
-
The user's workstation area is represented by a white perimeter and 4 arrows.
