Removal and replacement

Risk of heavy objects!
Some configurations of the GPC cylinder are very heavy. Removing them or lifting them
incorrectly may cause injury.
Before detaching the cylinder from its fixings, make sure that it cannot fall.
When lifting the cylinder, take steps to prevent damage or injury. Heavy cylinders must
be carried by two people or by one person with lifting aids.
Do not set the operating speed higher than necessary. The speed
must be adapted to the load of the cylinder in order to not exceed
the maximum permitted cushioning energy. Refer to the
calculation tool on the Internet, or to the tables in the main
catalogue.
