5.1. Lifting and transporting the packaged machine
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 (see EC Directive 2006/42 and subsequent amendments and/or
additions) 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
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.
The packaging may be kept as it can be reused to protect the machine if it is moved to
another site or to a repair workshop.
Otherwise it must be disposed off in compliance with current legislation.
