3.1. Lifting And Unloading

CAUTION
Some of the lathe components are stored inside the cabinet for ease of
shipment. We recommend assistance is sought to take them out.
CAUTION
Lifting and handling should only be carried out by skilled personnel specially
trained to execute this kind of operation.
During loading and unloading, avoid knocks to prevent damage to people or
objects. Make sure no one is standing under the overhung load and/or within
the bridge crane working range during machine lifting and handling.
Lifting should be carried out by lift truck or hand truck (Fig. 1) Before starting
the manoeuvres, free the machine of all the parts used for transport or
packaging that have remained on the machine.
CAUTION - VERY HEAVY
Where specialist equipment is not available seek assistance and proceed only
after cafefully considering the safest method, which may include breaking
down in to more manageable parts.
Check that the capacity of the lifting equipment is adequate for the gross
weight of the machine indicated.
