Installation section
The machine must be installed in compliance with the safety regulations and instructions
included in this chapter. The machine must be positioned in such a way as to allow the
Operator to easily replace the shock absorbers or the gaskets of the bike fork.
The shock absorber dismantler must therefore be installed by taking into account the minimum
distances from walls or other possible boundaries (boundaries are imaginary lines that delimit
the work or safety areas of other machines or structures).
Simple precautions are necessary for the positioning of the shock absorber dismantler.
Always consider the safety aspect not only in relation to the work performed with the machine
but also to the hazards caused by other machines present in the workplace.
Before positioning the machine make sure that:
•
The flooring is suitable for placing the machine, i.e. without holes, yielding parts, and
its capacity is sufficient to support the weight of the press plus the weight of the
accessory parts and any large work piece, considering an adequate safety factor.
•
If the positioning must be performed on lofts, upper floors or elevated areas, make sure
that the maximum capacity of the lofts or flooring is higher than the weight of the
machine and any accessory weights, considering also an adequate safety factor.
•
Do not place the machine on yielding or non-compact surfaces (e.g. on gravel or
crushed stone, sand, etc.).
•
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE OVERHEAD POWER LINES.
•
Check in advance the position of any overhead power line and signal them with
appropriate warning signs.
•
Always consider an adequate distance from the sliding ways of the means of transport,
elevators, pallet jacks, etc. Sources of unpredictable and sudden hazard.
•
Make sure that the identified position is always equipped with adequate lifting systems.
•
Pay the utmost attention to the handling of lifting systems (e.g. gantry cranes, hoists,
pallet jacks, forklift trucks, cranes, jib cranes, etc.)
