5.1 PACKAGING AND LIFTING
UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE IN THE CONTRACT OF SALE, ELECTRO-SPINDLES ARE NORMALLY COATED IN A FILM OF
PROTECTIVE GREASE AND PACKED IN A REINFORCED CARDBOARD BOX TO PREVENT CORROSION AND TO PROTECT THEM DURING
TRANSPORT. VERY HEAVY ELECTRO-SPINDLES, OR SHIPMENTS OF MORE THAN ONE UNIT MAY BE PACKED IN CRATES.
Use a clean rag to wipe off the protective grease.
LIFTING AND MOVING ELECTRO-SPINDLES CAN CREATE SITUATIONS OF RISK TO PERSONS NEARBY. ALWAYS FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BY HSD AND ALWAYS USE SUITABLE LIFTING EQUIPMENT.
INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY WORK MUST BE PERFORMED ONLY BY SPECIALIST TECHNICIANS.
Always use great care in lifting and moving electro-spindles and their components. Avoid impacts which can damage the
body work or cause malfunctioning.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CUSTOMER TO ENSURE THAT THE LIFTING EQUIPMENT USED IS SUITABLE FOR THE
PURPOSE IN TERMS OF FUNCTIONING AND LOAD CAPACITY.
NEVER LIFT THE ELECTRO-SPINDLE BY ITS FAN COVER. THIS CAN BREAK, DAMAGING THE ELECTRO-SPINDLE AND
POSSIBLY CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY.
5.2 STORAGE
If the electro-spindle is to be stored for any length of time, make sure that it is protected against the elements and in
particular against damp, dust, and other forms of damage by the atmosphere or storage environment.
