Lifting and handing should only be carried out by
skilled personel specially trained to execute this kind of
operations. During loading and unloading, avoid knocks
to prevent damages to persons and things. Make sure
no one is standing under the overhung load and/or within
the bridge crane working range during machine lifting and
handing.
Lifting may be carried out by bridge crane or self-propelled
lift truck. Before starting the manoeuvres, free the machine
of all the parts used for transport or Packaging that have
remained on the machine. Check that the capacity of the
lifting equipment is adequate for the gross weight of the
machine indicated Fig.4.2.
If hoisting is carried out with a lift truck, proceed as
follows:
– adjust the width of the forks A to 550 mm.
– Insert forks A as in the figure in correspondence to name
plates E ensuring that these are wedged against the
back of the rear feet D.
If a bridge crane or a crane is available,proceed as
follows:
– provide two slings B of suitable length and capacity
(Belts
minimum length 4000mm)
– lift the slings and position them as is shown in the
Fig.4.2
– fasten the slings to the bridge crane C having adequate
lifting power.
– move the bridge crane by small steps to allow the slings
B to settle, until optimum stability conditions are reached.
– lift carefully and slowly, without causing the load to
swing, and place the machine in the selected setting.
– remove the protective wax coat from all tables and
unpainted surfaces, using kerosene or its derivative
products. Do not use any solvent, petrol or gas oil, which
might dull the paint or oxidate machine parts.
