9 DISMANTLING
9.1 Dismantling the Product
The product will need to be dismantled at the end of its life or if it must be moved to a new
location.
Strict safety precautions shall be followed when dismantling the product. For example, when
working at heights, fall protection procedures must be followed. Only experienced service
personnel are permitted to dismantle the product.
The owner shall nominate a person to be responsible for the dismantling process. This person
shall give instructions and monitor the process.
All controls must be placed in the OFF position, safety switches must be opened and the main
isolator switch must be turned off. The product must be electrically isolated before dismantling
commences.
Make sure that all personnel involved are aware that the product will be dismantled before
dismantling commences.
The owner must prevent unauthorized persons and bystanders from walking on or below the
work site. Ensure that the secured area is spacious enough to prevent injuries which could
occur as a result of falling components or tools.
Only use safe tools and machinery for dismantling.
Make sure that removed fastenings and components will not fall.
Pay attention to the environmental conditions. For example, do not disassemble the product if
the prevailing weather could compromise safety.
The disassembly sequence is completed in the reverse order to the assembly sequence. Refer
to installation/assembly instructions for correct sequence.
After the product has been dismantled, the owner or person responsible for the dismantling can
return the working area back to normal use.
Note: Remove all greases and oils from the hoist before discarding it.
9.2 Disposal of Waste Material
Waste material from installation, maintenance or dismantling shall be handled and disposed of
according to local regulations. From the sustainability point of view, the preferred waste
handling methods are reuse, recycle as material, recycle to energy, and as a final resort, safe
disposal.
