5.1 Delivery and transport

Delivery

Check the notching machine on delivery for any visible 
transportation damage. If you notice any damage to the 
device please report this immediately to the carrier or 
dealer.

Transport

The notching machine may only be transported stan-
ding up and with the motor switched off.

Transport with a forklift/lift truck:

Always use a forklift with suitable lifting characteristics 
for lifting the packaging, taking into account the weight, 
when transporting the product in its packaged state:

- Adjust the forks so that the crate is properly balan-
ced (Fig.5).
- Place the crate on the floor.
- Remove the packaging from the machine.

For shipping,the notching machine is firmly mounted on 
a pallet so that it can be transported with a forklift truck.

Transport with a crane:

- Remove the screws that secure the machine to the 

pallet.

- Remove the reject container located on the machine 

worktable to prevent it from falling to the floor while 
moving. The container must be positioned on the 
left side of the machine.

The machine may only be loaded and unloaded using a 
rope. This rope must be attached to the eyebolt, which 
must be placed on the top of the machine. 

Never move the machine by hand or by any other me-
ans of transport not specified to avoid injury to persons 
and damage to the machine.

Fig. 6: Transport with a crane:

On the top side of the notching machine a transport eye 
can be attached in which the transport rope can be in-
serted (Fig. 6).

NOTE!

Oil may leak during transport of the notching ma-
chine. Secure the machine accordingly and take 
precautions against possible environmental pollution.

NOTE!

The notching machine should be protected from hu-
midity.

WARNING!
Danger to life due to falling load!

If the weight of the notching machine and the per-
missible load capacity of the lifting equipment are 
not observed during transport or lifting work, the 
machine may tilt or fall.
-  Transport with a crane may only be carried out by 

specialists!

-  When transporting and lifting, observe the weight of 

the notching machine and also the permissible load 
capacity of the lifting equipment.

-  Use the intended attachment points for transport.
-  The notching machine must not be rocked.
