2 Safety information
General safety instructions
WARNING
Packing crates shall only be moved by personnel with appropriate
training, and in adherence with local regulations.
Even if the instructions in the user documentation are followed, it is
the responsibility of the customer to guarantee the safety of
personnel while working with the product.
WARNING
Be very careful to avoid any risk of injury, and especially squeezing
or crushing injuries, when moving the product.
WARNING
Due to the significant weight of the AxiChrom Master 300-1600,
suitable equipment with adequate lifting capacity must be used
when moving the unit.
•Make sure that all lifting equipment has an adequate capacity to
safely lift the weight of the crate and the unit.
•Make sure that equipment used to move crates over a sloping
floor has adequate braking power to control the momentum
and prevent the crate from moving too fast.
WARNING
Tipping risk. When lifting AxiChrom crates, make sure that the
crate is positioned so that there is no risk of the equipment tipping
over.
The length of the lifting forks and the lifting capacity at the tips of
the forks of the lifting equipment must allow lifting the weight of
the crate without the risk of tipping off the forks.

on the regulations of the country of delivery. Recycle packing
crates according to local recommendations for pesticide-treated
wood.

3 Moving the transport crate
Moving equipment
The total weight of the AxiChrom Master 300-1600 and the transport crate is
approximately 155 kg (for more information see Transport crate weights and
dimensions, on page 17).
Lifting equipment with a minimum capacity to safely lift the weight of the unit plus the
transport crate is required to lift and move the unit in its transport crate, for example:
•a pallet lifter
•a forklift
Before moving the transport crate make sure that:
•all surfaces have sufficient load bearing capacity
•all openings and apertures that the transport crate is intended to pass through are
large enough to allow passage of the lifting equipment and transport crate when it is
lifted from the floor.
Note: For dimensions and weight information for AxiChrom Master 300-1600, see
Chapter 7 Reference information, on page 17.
