ANGER OF SERIOUS OR EVEN FATAL INJURY IF THE PRODUCT TOPPLES OVER WHILE MOVING IT
Follow these basic rules to prevent dangerous situations arising:
> Do not move the product as long as there are persons, material or tools on the
platform.
> Always move the product to its new location slowly and by hand. Never use tow-
ing trucks or forklifts to move it. Avoid collisions.
> Only move the product in longitudinal or diagonal direction and on a level, firm
and unobstructed surface.
• If necessary, use lifting tackle to lay the product on its side. Do not lift the product
by the guardrails or braces. Attach lifting tackle to the body of the access steps
or the platform.
• Store components in a location where they are protected from the elements, and
if possible, store them laid flat.
• Use straps to secure components against sliding or falling during transport.
• Do not throw components during loading or unloading.
