1-2 Safety Procedures
1-2-1 Guidelines for Moving the Granulator
To lift and move the granulator safely and correctly, cover any sharp corners or edges, and use the type of equipment that has the most appropriate features and capacity.
Before lifting, check that there are no items that could fall during lifting.
Before positioning the granulator, check that the floor is level and is strong enough to support the load, that there is adequate space in the installation area to allow the movement of equipment necessary to the task and to enable any necessary maintenance work to be carried out unhindered.
