TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING

CAUTION:
workers, such as a truck operator. Make 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:
• The lift truck must be able to lift at least 1.5 – 2 times the machines gross weight.
• Make sure the machine is balanced. While transporting, avoid rough or jerky motion, and
maintain a safe clearance zone around the transport area.
• Use a fork lift with sufficient lifting capacity and forks that are long enough to reach the
complete width of the machine.
• Remove the securing bolts that attach the machine to the pallet.
• Approaching the machine from the side, lift the machine on the frame taking care that there
are no cables or pipes in the area of the forks.
• Move the machine to the required position and lower gently to the floor.
• Level the machine so that all the supporting feet are taking the weight of the machine and no
rocking is taking place.

• Clearance from walls and other obstacles.
• Maintain an adequate working area around the machine for safety.
