LIFTING (HOISTING)
When it is necessary to lift (hoist) the Gullco KBM
®
-18 Portable Plate Edge Bevelling machine, use
the Lifting Plate as shown below (or by using two (2) equal length slings, safely fed through the
machine). All lifting (hoisting) equipment must be suitably rated and clearly identified to be of a
greater capacity than the weight of the machine (as detailed on page 3). Never raise the machine
any higher than necessary and never transport it over the top of people!
WARNING!
Do not lift the machine by the
positioning handle bars, or by
the wheel adjusting handles,
or any other such
component(s) that could result
in machine damage and/or
bodily injury due to
mechanical failure during the
lifting (hoisting) process.
IMPORTANT!
To prevent air from entering the hydraulic
system it is important that the scissor mechanism is not allowed
to open during lifting of the KBM-18 equipped with the hydraulic
undercarriage. Holes are provided to accept a ¾” or 19 mm dia
steel rod (not provided) that will prevent the mechanism from
opening. Otherwise use suitable strapping on the scissor frame.
It is equally important that the rod or strapping be removed
before attempting to use the hydraulic pump to raise the machine
when in use, otherwise the machine can be damaged.
