Moving/lifting
In order not to damage the frame, the compressor must be moved either by a lift truck or by using lifting
equipment as described below.
When moving the compressor with a lift truck, use the slots in the frame. Make sure that the forks protrude
from the other side of the frame. When moving the compressor with a lifting device, insert beams in the slots.
Make sure that the beams cannot slide and that they protrude from the frame equally. The chains must be held
parallel to the bodywork by chain spreaders in order not to damage the compressor. The lifting equipment
must be placed in such a way that the compressor is lifted perpendicularly. Lift gently and avoid twisting.
