5. HANDLING AND INSTALLATION
5.1. Lifting and transporting the packaged machine
IMPORTANT
During all lifting operations, make sure the packaged machine is firmly anchored to
avoid it tipping up or being accidentally dropped.
Always load/unload lorries in adequately lit areas.
The machine, packaged on a wooden pallet by the Manufacturer, must be loaded using
suitable equipment onto the transporting vehicle. At destination, it must be unloaded using
similar means.
The squeegees are packed in cardboard boxes without pallet.
A fork lift truck must always be used to lift the packaged body of the machine. Handle with
care to avoid knocking or overturning the machine.
5.2. Checks on delivery
When the carrier delivers the machine, make sure the packaging and machine are both
whole and undamaged. If the machine is damaged, make sure the carrier is aware of the
damage and before accepting the goods, reserve the right (in writing) to request
compensation for the damage.
5.3. Unpacking
IMPORTANT
When unpacking the machine, the operator must be provided with the necessary
personal protection devices (gloves, goggles, etc) to limit the risk of accident.
Unpack the machine as follows:
• cut and remove the plastic straps using scissors or nippers;
• remove the cardboard;
• remove the bags in the battery compartment (in the detergent tank) and check the
contents:
- guarantee slip;
- use and maintenance manual;
- battery bridges with terminals (battery model only);
- 1 battery charger connector (battery models only);
• depending on the model, remove the metal brackets or cut the plastic straps fixing the
machine chassis to the pallet;
• using a sloping ramp, push the machine backwards off the pallet;
• unpack the brushes/rollers and squeegee;
• clean the outside of the machine in respect of safety regulations;
• after unpacking the machine, install the batteries (battery models) or connect the electrical
connections (cable models). See relevant sections.
