D TRANSPORT, HANDLING AND STORAGE
D.1 Introduction
Transport (i.e. transfer of the machine from one place
to another) and handling (i.e. transfer inside
workplaces) must occur with the use of special and
adequate means.
CAUTION
• The machine must only be
transported, handled and stored
by specialised personnel, who
must have:
• specific technical training and
experience in the use of lifting
systems;
• knowledge of the safety
regulations and applicable laws in
the relevant sectors;
• knowledge of the general safety
rules;
• personal protective equipment
suitable for the type of operation
carried out;
• the ability to recognise and avoid
any possible hazard.
D.2 Handling
Arrange a suitable area with flat floor for machine
unloading and storage operations.
D.2.1 Procedures for handling operations
Before lifting:
• send all operators to a safe position and prevent
persons from entering the handling area;
• make sure the load is stable;
• make sure no material can fall during lifting.
Manoeuvre vertically in order to avoid impacts;
• handle the machine, keeping it at minimum height
from the ground.
For correct and safe lifting operations:
• use the type of equipment most suitable for
characteristics and capacity (e.g. electric pallet
truck or lift truck);
• cover sharp edges;
• check the forks and lifting procedures according to
the instructions given on the packaging.
D.2.2 Shifting
The operator must:
• have a general view of the path to be followed;
• stop the manoeuvre in case of hazardous
situations.
D.2.3 Placing the load
• Before placing the load, make sure the way is free
and that the floor is flat and can take the load.
• Remove the appliance from the wooden pallet,
move it to one side, then slide it onto the floor.
D.3 Unpacking
IMPORTANT
Immediately check for any
damage caused during
transport.
Inspect the packaging before
and after unloading.
1. Remove the packaging.
2. Keep all the documentation contained in the
packaging.
Note
• The forwarder is responsible for the goods during
transport and delivery.
• Make a complaint to the forwarder in case of
visible or hidden damage.
• Specify any damage or shortages on the dispatch
note.
• The driver must sign the dispatch note: the
forwarder can reject the claim if the dispatch note
is not signed (the forwarder can provide the
necessary form).
• For hidden damage or shortages becoming
apparent only after unpacking, ask the forwarder
for inspection of the goods within and not later
than 15 days after delivery.
D.4 Disposal of packaging materials
The packaging materials must be disposed of in
compliance with the current regulations in the country
where the appliance is used. All the packaging
materials are environmentally friendly. They can be
safely kept, recycled or burned in an appropriate
waste incineration plant. Recyclable plastic parts are
marked as follows:
Polyethylene
• Outer wrapping
• Instructions bag
Polypropylene
• Straps
Polystyrene foam
• Corner protectors
