Specific Moving Instructions 

  

The Drytac JetMounter

TM

 is to be handled with care to avoid personal 

injury  or  collateral  damage.    Whenever  the  machine  is  moved,  we 

strongly recommend utilizing at least two people.  The adage: “Better 

safe  than  sorry,”  applies  here.    When  moving  the  machine,  the 

movers  should  be  positioned  at  both  sides.    Do  not  push  the 

JetMounter

TM

 from the front or back!  This eliminates the possibility 

of having the machine tip over onto the mover or their helper.  

Unpacking and Installation  

Upon  receipt  of  your  new  JetMounter

,  inspect  the  carton(s)  carefully  for  signs  of  physical 

damage  or  mishandling.    There  are  two  rough  handling  indicators  that  should  be  inspected 

before the shipment is signed for.  If either of the devices is “tripped”, this must be noted on the 

receiving  paperwork.  Report  any  damage  to  the  shipping  company  immediately  and  contact 

Drytac  Corporation  if  replacement  parts  are  needed.    If  there  is  no  apparent  damage,  proceed 

with unpacking.

   

It  is  recommended  that  at  least  two  people  unpack  the  JM  Pro  XD  to  avoid 

damage to the equipment or personal injury.  Follow the instructions attached 

to  the  front  of  the  crate  to  remove  the  laminator  correctly  and  safely.    If  the 

instructions  are  missing  check  the  appendix  in  this  manual  for  an  illustrated 

version or contact Drytac Technical Services before attempting to unpack or install the machine. 

Also see appendix for heating element installation procedure.  If there are any questions about 

electrical  requirements  for  the  equipment,  please  contact  a  qualified  electrician  prior  to 

attempting  to  power  up  the  machine!    Be  absolutely  certain  that  the  voltage  supplied  at  the 

outlet corresponds with the voltage marked on the plate attached to your machine.  Do not rely 

on the cord or outlet configuration to determine the correct power supply voltage!
