4.2 LIFTING AND UNLOADING
WARNING
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.
Fig.4.2
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.
4.3 INSTALLATION ZONE CHARACTERISTICS
WARNING
It is prohibited to install the machine in explosive environments.
The installation zone must be selected evaluating the work space required depending on the dimension of the pieces
to be machined,and taking into account that a free space of at least 800 mm must be left around the machine.It is also
necessary to check the floor capacity and its surface, so that the machine base is evenly resting on its four supports.A
power outlet and a chip-suction system connection shall be close to the selected machine setting and it must be
conveniently lighted (luminous intensity: 500 LUX).
