TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING

CAUTION:
skilled workers, such as a truck operator, crane operator, etc. If a crane is used to lift
the machine, attach the lifting chain carefully, making sure the machine is well
balanced. Choose a location that will keep the machine free from vibration and dust
from other machinery. Keep in mind that having a large clearance area around the
machine is important for safe and efficient working conditions.
Follow these guidelines when lifting:
• Always lift and carry the machine with the lifting holes provided at the top of the machine.
• Use lift equipment capable of lifting 1.5 to 2 times the weight of the machine.
• Check if the load is properly balanced by lifting it an inch or two.
• Make sure the machine is balanced. While transporting, avoid rough or jerky motion, and
maintain a safe clearance zone around the transport area.
• Lift the machine, avoiding sudden accelerations or quick changes of direction.
• Locate the machine where it is to be installed, and lower slowly until it touches the floor.
• Level the machine so that all the supporting feet are taking the weight of the machine and no
rocking is taking place.
