1
Carefully move the components to their
approximate installation locations.
2
Remove all packing material,
protective
paper, tape, and plastic, including any
inserted inside the components.
3
Prior to assembling the hopper
remove
the rust inhibtive coating from carbon
steel hoppers.
NOTE:
This avoids the need for confined space entry.
TIP:
Removal of rust inhibtive coating is best accomplished using mineral spirits or a equivalent solvent.
4
Carefully inspect all components
to make sure no damage occurred during
shipping, and that you have all the necessary hardware. If any damage is found,
notify the shipping agent immediately.
5
Take a moment to record serial numbers
and electrical power specifications in the
blanks provided on the back of the User Guide’s title page. The information will be
helpful if you ever need service or parts.
