TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE
Use adequate steel wires to load or unload the sprinkler machine. Use the specific hoisting lugs (one or two on
each side of the machine's chassis).
Follow these steps to hoist the machine:
1. A portal crane or other lifting equipment with adequate lifting capacity should be available so that you can
hoist the machine from above.
RM self-propelled sprinklers have not been engineered to be lifted using forklift trucks and therefore,
this operation must not be attempted.
2. Hook the machine to the lifting equipment using wires adequate for the weight to be lifted (refer to the
Table below).
MACHINE WEIGHT kg (empty) WEIGHT kg (water) WEIGHT kg (with water)

WARNING
DANGER
All loading and unloading operations must be done exclusively by expert and authorised
personnel.
RM Spa declines any and all injury to people or damage to property caused by incorrect
handling of machine parts or their incorrect installation.
Hoist the machine only if the angle between the lift wires is less than 40° or 20° to the
vertical.
3. Lift the machine up slightly and check to make sure that the load is balanced. In particular, the
sprinkler skid must not be installed because, if it is, the load will be unbalanced.
4. When hoisting the machine pay special attention to make sure that the steel wires do not damage the
machine. In particular, make sure that the two sides of the hose reel are not squashed.
