5.1. Lifting and transporting the packaged machine
During all lifting operations, make sure the packaged machine is firmly anchored to
avoid it tipping up or being accidentally dropped.
Always load/unload lorries in adequately lit areas.
The machine, packaged on a wooden pallet by the Manufacturer, must be loaded using
suitable equipment (see EC Directive 89/392 and subsequent amendments and/or
additions).
A fork lift truck must always be used to lift the packaged body of the machine. Handle
with care to avoid knocking or overturning the machine.
5.2.

Checks on delivery

When the carrier delivers the machine, make sure the packaging and machine are both
whole and undamaged. If the machine is damaged, make the carrier is aware of the
damage and before accepting the goods, reserve the right (in writing) to request
compensation for the damage.
5.3.

Unpacking

When unpacking the machine, the operator must be provided with the necessary
personal protection devices (gloves, goggles, etc) to limit the risk of accident.
Unpack the machine as follows:
• cut and remove the plastic straps using scissors or nippers;
• remove the cardboard;
• depending on the model, remove the metal brackets or cut the plastic straps fixing the
machine chassis to the pallet;
• using a sloping ramp, push the machine backwards off the pallet;
• move the machine away from the packaging.
The packaging may be kept as it can be reused to protect the machine if it is moved to
another site or to a repair workshop.
Otherwise it must be disposed off in compliance with current legislation.
