BASIC INFORMATION
is delivered with the OPERATOR'S MANUAL,
WARRANTY BOOK and possible additional
equipment. The trommel screen is delivered to the
user either transported on a vehicle or, after being
attached to a truck tractor, independently (the
trommel screen is towed by a truck tractor).
1.5.1. TRANSPORT ON VEHICLE
Before loading onto a transport vehicle, the
trommel screen should be prepared according to
instructions contained in section 4.
Loading and unloading of the trommel screen from
vehicle shall be conducted using a loading ramp or
ramps of a low chassis trailer. When loading and
unloading the trommel screen, make sure that the
rear lights support beam does not hit the platform's
structural elements or the ground. If there is such
a risk, dismantle the lights support beam. During
work adhere to the general principles of Health
and Safety at Work applicable to reloading work.
Persons operating reloading equipment must
have the qualications required to operate these
machines.
The trommel screen should be attached rmly to
the platform of the transport vehicle using straps,
chains, stays or other securing measures tted
with a tightening mechanism. Fasteners must be
xed to the mounting lugs (1) - Figure 1.7. Chocks,
wooden blocks or other objects without sharp
edges should be placed under the wheels of the
trommel screen to prevent it from rolling. Wheel
blocks must be nailed to the vehicle load platform
planks or secured in another manner preventing
their movement.
Use certied and technically reliable securing
measures. Worn straps, cracked securing catches,
bent or corroded hooks as well as other damage
may disqualify use of the given element from
use. Carefully read the information stated in the
Operator's Manual for the given securing measure.
The number of securing elements (cables, straps,
chains and stay etc.) and the force necessary
for their tensioning depend on a number of
things, including weight of the trommel screen,
construction of the vehicle carrying the trommel
screen, speed of travel and other conditions. For
this reason it is impossible to dene the securing
plan precisely.
A correctly secured machine does not change its
position with regard to the transport in vehicle.
The securing elements must be selected according
to the guidelines of the Manufacturer of these
elements. In case of doubt apply a greater
number of securing straps in order to immobilise
the trommel screen. If necessary, sharp edges of
the trommel screen should be protected at the
same time protecting the securing elements from
breaking during transport.
During reloading work, particular care should be
taken not to damage parts of the machine's ttings
or the lacquer coating. Weight and dimensions of
the trommel screen are given in table (3.1).
