Lifting and transportation
To safely lift and transport the machine, the following requirements must be met:
● Personnel operating cranes and fork-lift trucks must be appropriately qualified.
● If the machine is packed, depending on the weight, size and on-site conditions, lift crates
● When lifting the machine, use only approved and undamaged sling guides and spreaders
● When lifting the machine, refer to the information on the lifting plate.

injury or material damage.
● Use only the load carrying device on the stator frame for lifting.
● Use the load carrying device appropriate for the machine position.
● Only use suitable rope guiding or spreading devices.
