4.4. HANDLING AND LIFTING
ATTENTION: handling and lifting must be carried
out by trained and qualified operators, using
appropriate means and methods, to avoid risks
to personal health and damage to the machine.
Before carrying out handling and lifting, check
the position of the centre of gravity of the load;
always check the correct weight balance of the
machine when it is transported, so as to prevent
unexpected machine movements or falls. It is
recommended to always use vehicles capable of
supporting the weight and dimensions of the ma-
chine ("TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS" paragraph
of this manual), so as to avoid damage to the ma-
chine or to persons or things around it.
IMPORTANT: the customer is always exclusively
liable during the equipment loading and unload-
ing phases.
For transport to the final installation site, it is prefera-
ble to use a forklift or pallet truck, taking care that the
lifting forks support the entire crate.
< 25 kg
For movements within the plant, the machine may be
transported with a crane by properly harnessing it using
cables with the appropriate resistance characteristics,
depending on the weight of the machine itself.
If the supply includes only the welding machine,
generally weighing less than 25 kg, the packaging
consists of a cardboard box without lifting pallets. It
can be easily lifted by two operators and taken to the
place of use.
4. INSTALLATION
4.1. SHIPPING
The shipment, also depending on the destination,
can be carried out by different means.
The packed machine must be properly anchored to
the means of transport in order to avoid uncontrolled
movements.
The shipment is always carried out under the respon-
sibility of the purchaser who assumes all charges
for accidents and thefts that could occur during the
transport itself.
4.2. PACKAGING
The machine is shipped packed in a special container
and, if necessary, it is suitably stabilised with shock-
proof material to ensure its integrity.
The packaging is made, with containment of the
overall dimensions, also depending on the type of
transport adopted.
To facilitate transport, the shipment can be per-
formed with some components disassembled and
properly protected and packaged.
THE PACKAGING CONTAINS:
No. 1 NOVATIG 403 DC PULSE welding machine
No. 1 Instruction manual
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES:
No. 1 Earth cable
No. 1 Clamp cable
No. 1 Welding torch
4.3. MACHINE RECEIPT
Upon receipt of the machine, check that the informa-
tion in the shipping document actually corresponds
to the material received and check that the packag-
ing is perfectly intact.
IMPORTANT: in case of damage or absence of some
parts, immediately report the anomaly to the carri-
er, making any descriptive notes of the damage on
the transport document before signing.
Do not use the machine, but contact the seller to
agree on the procedure to be adopted.
To this end, it is advisable to carry out a check of
the packaging during the unloading phase and, in
suspicious cases, open the packaging and to ver-
ify the safety of the machine and any loose units.
