Unloading the Knurr DCM
Before unloading a Knurr DCM, note the weight of the model (see 6.0 - Specifications. Use at least
two people when moving the unit.
1.
Using a pallet jack or forklift, move the Knurr DCM on its pallet to the installation location.
2.
Cut the shrink wrap and remove all packaging.
3.
Remove the lag bolts securing each shipping bracket to the shipping pallet; there is one bracket at
each corner of the Knurr DCM; each bracket has two lag bolts (see Figure 3).
4.
Raise the leveling feet so that the rack will rest on the feet:
a.
Use the supplied hex wrench to lower each caster until the Knurr DCM is not resting on the
shipping brackets.
b.
Remove the hex bolts securing the shipping brackets to the Knurr DCM.
Leave the shipping brackets attached if they will be used to secure the cabinet to the floor.
5.
Use a pallet jack or forklift to raise the Knurr DCM off the shipping pallet.
6.
Slide the shipping pallet out from under the rack.
The Knurr DCM may be positioned for installation either with the forklift, by two or more people
carrying it or by rolling the cabinet on its casters.
If the casters are to be used to move the cabinet, the leveling feet must be raised by reversing Step 4
above. Position the cabinet and either lower the leveling feet or bolt the cabinet to the floor with the
shipping brackets.
