that work from above cannot be used. Lift the machine in the middle from the longest side and
adjust the position of the lift forks at the greatest centred position possible.
ATTENTION!
Before handling, always make sure that the lifting device is suitable to lift the load.
For prolonged storage, place the machine in a covered area at a temperature ranging from -
15 °C to +55 °C, with a humidity degree between 30% and 90% without condensation.

DECLARED NOISE EMISSION VALUES IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE STANDARD ISO
4871 ARE:
A-WEIGHTED EMISSION SOUND PRESSURE LEVEL (AT OPERATOR POSITION): 70 dB
ATTENTION!
The exposure of the operator to noise may also vary due to background noise generated
by other equipment present where the machine is installed. In order to provide
operators with the appropriate PPE hearing protection it may therefore be necessary to
assess the noise within the work environment.
2.10 DEMOLITION AND WASTE DISPOSAL
The machine does not contain dangerous components or substances which require special
disposal procedures. For that which concerns material elimination, comply with the Standards
in the country where the machine has been disassembled.
