4.1 General Notes
Before the machine used for the first time, STI authorized dealers offer a course to familiarize
maintenance and operating personnel with all elements of the machine. We are not liable for
damage caused by incorrect use of the machine by personnel not trained by STI.
4.2 Transportation
In order to transport the machine from a vehicle to the working area, you need to tilt the
machine down and roll it on its main drive wheels.
When transporting the machine with hoisting equipment like a crane or a lift, check the total
weight permitted. (See Chapter 1 — dimensions)
Please use only appropriate, allowed, and qualified hoisting equipment as well as ropes and
chains. You will find the weight of the equipment in chapter 1 or on the serial plate on the
machine.
Do not fix any rope or chain to the handle. The machine must be placed on a pallet or
platform designed to hold the weight of the machine and the platform or pallet can then be
lifted or hoisted from the appropriate points.
4.3 Transportation by Vehicle
When transporting the machine with vehicle, proceed in such a manner that damage due to
the effects of use of force or incorrect loading and unloading is avoided. Use straps to tighten
the machine to the cabin of the vehicle.
Use at least two straps, or tighten the machine with one strap to the cabin wall of the vehicle.
Make sure, that all parts of the machine are fixed.
4.4 Operation Conditions
Check the surface to be treated for loose parts (stones, screws, etc.). The surface must
be swept if necessary. Make sure that the machine can travel over all inequalities on the
surface. Small inequalities like floor joints less than ¼ inch are no barriers for the machine.
The machine must be operated in accordance with instructions given in Chapter 5—Initial
operation.
