SAFE HANDLING
This boiler may require 2 operatives to move it to its installation
site, remove it from its packaging base and during movement
into its installation location. Manoeuvring the boiler may include
the use of a sack truck and involve lifting, pushing and pulling.
Caution should be exercised during these operations.
Operatives should be knowledgeable in handling techniques
when performing these tasks and the following precautions
should be considered:
• Grip the boiler. Refer to Frame 18.
