AFQm
Instruction Manual
The centre of gravity of some devices may be found at a considerable height. There-
fore, when handling with a forklift, it is recommended that the device be securely
fastened and that no abrupt manoeuvres made. The device should not be lifted
more than 20 cm off the ground
When unloading and moving the device, use a forklift with forks long enough to support the entire
length of the base. Otherwise, the forks should be long enough to support at least ¾ of said depth. The
forks must be flat and supported firmly by the base. Raise the device by placing the forks underneath
the profile that supports the device. (Figure 2).
There might be an offset in the centre of gravity from the centre of the cabinet,
as a result of the uneven distribution of loads inside the device. The necessary
precautions must be taken to prevent the device from tipping over during abrupt
operations.

When unpacking the device, pay attention to prevent damaging the device if you are using cutting
tools, such as cutters, scissors or knives.
The AFQm devices cabinet type, there are also 4 rings (diameter : 28 mm) in the top panel so that they
can be transported by a crane. The top panel is inverted, but the rings are mounted, to enable it to be
transported without any prior set-up required. The angle of the cables must be greater than 45º
