5. UNPACKING AND PREPARATION
The Bio 80 bio-shredder is delivered partially dismantled. It ca be arranged on
pallets to facilitate handling and transport before installation, depending on the
versions.
To transport the machine in these conditions it is indispensable to use a
transpallet or similar with a load capacity of around 100 kilos. Avoid:
• hoisting the bio-chopper with ropes or unsuitable hoists;
• dragging the bio-chopper;
• bumps or shocks;
• exposing the machine to rain, frost or any bad weather.
On taking delivery check that the contents correspond with the delivery note.
Should damage or deformity due to transport be noted, make an immediate
compliant to the carrier and advise the authorised dealer or the manufacturer.
In particular, check that:
• there are no dents, signs of bumps or deformations;
• there are no damp areas or signs that may lead to suppose that the pack
has been exposed to foul weather;
• there are no signs of tampering;
After checking that transport has been carried out correctly, proceed to
assembling the machine as shown in figure 5.
Electric motor or engine-operated machines are equipped with two wheels for
transporting over short distances.
All the machines can be lifted and transported by means of cranes or winches,
using hooks and cables, which must be approved and of an adequate capacity.
Hook up to the lugs, as shown in the pictogram affixed to the machine.
Only safe hooks, such as snap hooks, must be used for lifting. Take great care
and exercise extreme caution when loading and unloading the machine. These
operations must only be carried out by qualified personnel (slingers, truck
operators, etc.). Never pass or stand underneath the machine when it has been
raised off the ground.
When the machine is being transported, it needs to be tilted slightly backwards,
with one foot on the wheel axle (1) acting as a lever and holding the handle (2).
