4.2 HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS

4.2.1 HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
Handle packages as per the Manufacturer's instructions and those marked on the packages
themselves.
Since the weight and shape of packages may make manual handling unfeasible, special equipment
must be used to avoid damage and injury. Persons authorised for this purpose must be trained and
experienced in the work in question to safeguard his safety and that of all other persons involved.
The person authorised to handle the product must take all necessary precautions to
safeguard his safety and that of all other persons involved.

4.2.2 MOVING PACKAGES

Prepare a suitable, delimited area with a level floor or surface for unloading the packages.
Prepare the equipment required for handling the package. The lifting and handling equipment
used (e.g. crane or lift truck) must have adequate capacity for the weight and size of the load,
taking into account its attachment points and centre of gravity. If required, this information is
indicated on the package itself. Harness heavy packages with chains, belts and steel ropes
after checking that they are capable of sustaining the weight of the load, which is generally
specified.
When handling the load keep it level to avoid instability and/or tipping.

4.2.3 MOVING THE EQUIPMENT

All the following operations must be done with due care and caution and without
sudden movements.
Identify the attachment points for lifting the gear unit. Refer to Annex 4 of this manual for this
information.
Prepare the gear unit for lifting by attaching straps, hooks, shackles etc. to its attachment
points, or alternatively, use a pallet for moving the load. If using a crane, first lift the gear unit
vertically out of its packaging.
If using a lift truck or pallet truck, remove the packaging and fit the truck's forks at the indicated
positions.
First lift the load very slowly to check that it is stable.
Move the gear unit to the unloading area and lower it gently into position, taking care not to
cause sudden oscillations while moving it.
If the gear unit is coupled to an electric motor, do not use the eyebolts on the motor for
lifting the entire load, unless this is expressly indicated.
