3.3 HANDLING

If it becomes necessary to transport the machine for a long distance, it can be loaded onto a railway wagon or a truck. For this purpose,
consult «Technical Data» for weight and specifi c dimensions. The latter are very useful to check the possibility of driving along all types
of roads.
The Customer must apply the rules envisaged in the European Directives EEC 391/89 and 269/90 and subsequent modifi cations
on the possible risks for loading and unloading operators caused by manual handling of loads.
During handling operations wear suitable personal protection equipment:
The machine is generally supplied in a horizontal position with no packing material. It is therefore necessary to use a system of hoi-
sting with a crane and cables, or chains of adequate capacity, hooking onto the machine at the hoisting points marked with the «hook»
symbol (18, Fig. 2).
Because of the danger involved, this operation should be carried out by trained and responsible personnel. The mass of the machine
is on the identifi cation Plate (Fig. 1).
Before loading the machine on transportation vehicles, the movement of the vacuum pump unit must be blocked with the supplied plug,
as indicated in Figure 9 (D).
Stretch the rope to keep the machine level.
Before proceeding to the hoisting op- erations, make sure that any any mo- bile elements of the machine are blocked. Make
sure to use a crane with an adequate hoisting capacity to lift the machine. Hoist the machine with extreme caution and transfer
it slowly, without jerks or abrupt movements.
The operations of hoisting and trans- port can be very dangerous if not carried out with the maximum caution; persons not
directly involved should be moved away. Clean, evacuate the area and delimit the transfer zone. Check the state, condition
and suit- ability of the means at disposition. Do not touch suspended loads, keep- ing them at a safe distance.
It most be further ascertained that the operational area is free of obstacles and that there is suffi cient «escape space», mea-
ning an area which is free and secure into which one could move rapidly in case a load should fall. The surface on which the
machine is to be loaded must be horizontal in or- der to prevent possible shifting.
Once the machine is positioned on the vehicle, make sure that it remains blocked in its position.
Fasten the machine on the platform of the vehicle by means of cables suitable for the mass which must be blocked (see «Technical
Data» for the weight).
The cables must be fi rmly fastened to the machine and pulled taut to the anchorage point on the platform.
Once transport has been carried out and before freeing the machine from all its fastenings, make sure that its state and position are
such as not to constitute danger.
Remove the cables and proceed to unloading with the same means and methods used for loading.
• Packaging materials (pallets, cartons, etc.) must be disposed of as prescribed by the existing regulations through authorised
disposal companies.
• Parts making up the machine must not be lifted by hooking them up from moving or weak parts such as guards, electrical
runways, pneumatic parts, etc.
• Standing under suspended loads is not allowed; unauthorised personnel are not allowed access to the work sites; it is
mandatory to wear overalls, safety footwear, gloves and a hardhat.
