7 TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
For transport, all the generators are fixed to a pallet by
means of screws.
For handling on the boat use the engine lifting hooks
located under the top access door [Fig.3, Ref.2]. Hook
the generator carefully and lift it slowly without sudden
movements.
- Hooking the generator at points different from
that indicated may cause damage to the genera-
tor or be dangerous to the operators.
- During lifting all personnel must keep a safe dis-
tance and the operators must wear protective hel-
mets.
8 SCRAPPING
At the end of its lifetime the generator must be taken to
official scrapyards.
at household refuse disposal sites, as many of its
parts are polluting.
