Installation, Handling & Storage
Installation, handling, and storage tasks should only be conducted by authorized
personnel in accordance with the following procedures.
The Eurover weighs 350-400kg and should be handled with care at all times.
4.1
Installing
The Eurover is usually delivered fully assembled. Machines with a mobile base can be
operated immediately, but bolt-down machines must first be installed and commissioned in
accordance with the following procedures.
4.1.1
Before installing
Before installing a bolt-down Eurover, ensure that
the following requirements are met:
1.
An install location with a hard flat 40MPa
concrete floor at least 150mm thick, and
1000mm of clear space in three directions
as shown by the diagram at right.
2.
Mobile lifting equipment (such as a forklift
truck or crane) with a safe working load
of at least 500kg, which can be operated
at the install location.
3.
A power drill with a 20mm concrete bit.
4.
Six M16 x 100-150mm sleeve anchors (Dynabolt
™
or similar). For optimum longevity in
wet environments 304 stainless-steel anchors should be used.
4.1.2
Erecting the mast
Carry out the following procedures to erect the Eurover mast.
1.
Connect a chain or sling from the lifting equipment to the lifting eye at the top of the
Eurover mast.
2.
With one person operating the lifting equipment, and another watching for
obstructions and steadying the load, slowly lift the Eurover until the mast is upright,
with the base a short distance off the ground.
3.
Transport the Eurover to the install location, taking care not to strike any obstacles.
Never stand or reach underneath the machine while it is lifted.
4.
Carefully set the Eurover onto the ground in the install location.
5.
Use a spirit level to ensure the mast is oriented at exactly 90° degrees vertical. Adjust
the position and orientation of the Eurover as required.
6.
Using the bolt-down base as a template, drill six
⌀
20mm holes into the concrete floor
for the sleeve anchors. Clean the holes with compressed air.
