1.3 LIFTING
• Use the handles and straps
solely for manual lifting of the
equipment.
• No specific hooking points are provided on
the unit.
Use the following for mechanical lifting:
-
A forklift truck
-
Ropes/chains that are slung around
the base of the unit to be lifted.
• Do not attempt to lift gas cylinders, carts,
or any other mobile devices together with
the welding power source.
• Ensure
that lifting
sufficiently strong to support the weight of
the unit.
• Check that all devices that must be lifted
with the unit are properly secured and
unable to become dislodged.
• Check that the fixing screws between the
welding power source cart and the parts
mounted on the cart are fully tightened
before lifting (the tightening torque should
be at least 10 Nm).
• Disconnect the unit from the mains power
supply before performing mechanical lifting
operations.
• Make sure the unit is electrically isolated
from the mechanical lifting means if
welding operations must be performed
when the unit is held aloft.

POSITIONING
• To avoid falls and overturning do not place
the unit on gradients steeper than 10°.
• When moving a welding cart on a gradient
pay attention to ensure that:
- the weight of gas cylinders, wire
spools, mobile devices and all other
items on the cart is distributed in a
balanced manner;
- all covers are closed and all moving
parts are securely fixed. Avoid
situations wherein sudden shifting of
loads could cause the unit to
overturn.
• During welding operations immobilize the
unit on wheels (if standing on a gradient)
using hooks or ropes to prevent it from
rolling or overturning.
• Install the compressed gas cylinders in a
vertical position and secure them to a fixed
support or to the specifically designed
holders. Protect gas
excessive heat, impact, welding slag, open
flames and sparks.
• Keep the cylinders well clear of the
welding operations and of any other
electrical circuits.
