Transporting
During storage and transporting, this machine should be kept covered and dry from inclement weather
conditions. In particular the electrical control panel must be kept dry. When strapping to road transport,
ensure straps are not damaging cables and vulnerable components.
Use a fork truck to move this machine. Check the balance as the centre of gravity may not be where it
appears. Retain the wooded transport skids on the machine until final positioning.
Dispose of packaging safely and in consideration of local environmental expectations. Report any defects
or damage immediately to ________________, or the supplying distributor. Failure to notify prior to
connection to any power supply will render subsequent claims invalid. Clean anti-rust protection film from
steel surfaces and working parts.

materials can safely arrive and depart. It is advisable to be guided by the Provision sand Use of Work
