9.4.2 Moving by fork-lift truck
(only if the use of a crane is ruled out)
Before raising the forks, make certain that the two bottom cross
beams of the embroidery machine are in full contact with and
resting securely on the forks, otherwise the machine is likely to
tip over and cause personal injury or damage to property.
In order to avoid personal injury and property damage, at
least two people must always be present when the embroidery
machine is being moved (the fork-lift operator and a marshal).
In ideal circumstances the embroidery machine is to be moved by a crane. Use
a fork-lift truck only in the absence of a crane. The fork-lift truck must have
sucient lifting capacity to accommodate the weight of the machine, and a fork
length that allows the bottom cross beam(s) of the embroidery machine to make
full contact with the fork when the machine is raised. See (Abb. 55).
When introducing and raising the forks, make certain that they
do not contact any part of the machine (cables, stepping motor
etc.) except for the bottom cross beams.
Introduce the forks underneath the machine cross beams at the center from the
back.
Raise the forks carefully until they make contact with the bottom cross beams of
the machine. See (Abb. 55).
