10. TRANSPORT, HANDLING AND STORAGE

The transport, handling and storage of the appli-
ances must be carried out only by specialist work-
ers who:
• Have specific technical training and experience
• Know the safety regulations and the legal provi-
sions of their specialist area
• Have knowledge about general safety provisions
• Are able to recognise and avoid possible dangers
The staff who are responsible for the transport,
handling and storage of the appliances must be
trained in the use of hoisting aids and have suffi-
cient knowledge to use the individual means of pro-
tection for the work to be carried out (e.g. work
wear, safety shoes, safety gloves and hard hats).

10.1 Transport

Transport (relocation) and handling (moving in-
house) must be carried out by using lifting means of
suitable load-bearing capacity.
The appliance can be transported by truck, train
or ship. Except for road transport, the appliance is
sent in a container together with other appliances.
The appliances can be loaded inside the container
by the assigned carrier.
Due to the appliance dimensions it is not permitted
to stack the appliances on top of each other during
transport. In such case the manufacturer shall not
be liable should the load tip over.
The manufacturer shall under no circumstances be
liable for damage during transport or damage to the
packaging.

10.2 Unloading

Prior to removing the transport fastenings you must
ensure that the stability of the appliance compon-
ents does not depend on the fastenings and that
the load cannot fall from the vehicle as a result.
Standing under hanging loads during loading and
unloading is prohibited. Unauthorised persons are
prohibited from accessing the work area.

10.3 Notes on handling

Observe the following precautions to ensure safe
handling:
• Use appropriate lifting means with sufficient
load-bearing capacity (e.g. forklift or lifting truck)
• Cover the edges
• Check the lifting forks and adhere to the instruc-
tions on the packaging
• Prior to lifting:
• Ensure that all employees are at a sufficiently safe
distance and that unauthorised persons have no
access to the workspace
• Check the stability of the load
• Make sure that no goods can fall off while lifting;
avoid sudden movements and impacts
• Lift the appliance as little as possible when in mo-
tion
• Appliances may be not be lifted on removable or
unsuitable load-bearing parts (protective panels,
cable guides, etc.)

10.4 Moving and setting down appliances

The person controlling the lifting aid must have a
good overview of the route and must be able to halt
his/her manoeuvres at any time in case of danger.
Before setting down the load, check that there are
no obstacles and that the surface is flat and de-
signed to support the weight of the load.

10.5 Storage

The appliances and/or their parts must be protec-
ted from moisture and stored in a dry, vibration-free
room with a non-aggressive atmosphere and a tem-
perature of 5°C / 41°F to 50°C / 122°F.
The location must have a horizontal, level surface
in order to prevent the appliances becoming mis-
shapen or the adjustable feet being damaged.
The accessories delivered with the appliances must
not be changed. Any parts that have been lost or
are faulty must be replaced with original parts.
