HOISTING

WARNING!Heavyparts(25kgormore) mustbeliftedwithahoistetc.In theDISASSEMBLYAND ASSEMBLYsection,everypart weighing25kgormoreis indicatedclearlywiththe symbol.

Ifapartcannotbesmoothlyremovedfromthemachine byhoisting,thefollowingchecksshouldbemade:
1.Checkforremovalofallboltsfasteningtheparttothe relativeparts.
2.Checkforexistenceofanotherpartcausinginterface withtheparttoberemoved.
