Risks
Lifting heavy objects may cause back injuries.
Dropping a unit or letting it fall from a lifting device may cause
both injury and damage.
Example:
- When lifting a unit (gearbox, central gear) away from a
vehicle it may drop from the jack.
- Unsuitable lifting straps may break or cause unit to slip.
- A unit that is set up on a stand may pivot round
the shaft of the stand. By, for instance, removing the
planetary box from a gearbox the point for stable balance is
changed and this may cause the unit to pivot.
Protective measures
• Use lifting equipment.
• Ask for help, if needed.
• Use jack with special fixture for lifting out central gears.
• Use special equipment for handling wheels, brake and
springs.
• Use purpose adapted lifting straps and lever blocks
for lifting engines.
• Use stand with automatic locking (self-locking
screw or brakes).
Protection against damage and injury
in handling heavy units
• Use lifting equipment.
• Keep in mind the balance of the unit on a stand.
• Ask for help, when needed.
• If you have to lift:
- Object near body
- Bend your knees, not your back
- Do not twist your body when lifting.
