Machine Transportation
3.1
Lifting
The vehicle used to transport the machine must be sufficiently powerful, of an appropriate size and suitably prepared
for the purpose.
Before transporting the machine, see Section 1.4 giving the weights and dimensions of the machine. Transportation
should be carried out by qualified haulage contractors who guarantee correct handling of the material being carried.
The Manufacturer accepts no liability for transportation arranged by the Customer or by haulage contractors appointed
by the latter. The machine must be loaded, taking care to avoid damage to the same by any other loads.
Before using, check that the available means are intact and suitable. Select ropes and/or chains of suitable lifting
power, attaching them only to the lifting points designed for that purpose and marked with the relative symbol; see
Figure 2.2 and Figure 3.1.
DANGER!
•
Ensure that a crane of suitable lifting power for the machine is available.
•
Before proceeding with lifting operations, make sure that any mobile machine elements have been secured
properly.
•
Lift the machine with extreme caution and transfer it slowly, without any abrupt movements.
•
Lifting and transportation operations may be extremely dangerous unless carried out with the utmost caution.
•
Personnel assigned to work should be specialised and fitted out with the relative Individual Protective Devices.
•
Unauthorised personnel should be kept at a safe distance.
•
Clean, clear and mark out the area of transfer.
•
Do not touch suspended loads and remain at a safe distance.
•
During handling, loads should not be lifted more than 20 cm from the ground.
•
Ensure that the danger area in which the machine is being handled is free from obstacles and that there is a wide
safe area to the side for the transit of persons.
•
Under no circumstances should persons pass below suspended loads.
•
The surface on which the machine is placed should be level in order to avoid possible shifting of the load.
•
When the machine is placed on a means of transport it should be firmly secured to the surface on which it is resting
by means of ropes or chains suitable for the weights to be anchored; see Section 1.4.
•
For travel with the tractor, see the warnings given in the Section 3.2 below.
