Remove the screws holding the foot pads onto the
pallet using the Phillips head screwdriver.

Have the laminator lifted off the skid and placed on
the floor by licensed riggers. The riggers must also
unscrew the foot bolts from the laminator frame
since it requires lifting the laminator.

A NOTE ABOUT RECYCLING
The pallet can be reused for shipping the machine
again, or can be disassembled and the wood and
screws recycled. The cardboard can be recycled. The
shrink wrap is not recyclable, however, so it must be
discarded.

NOTE
A word about international shipments: As these are
heavy pieces of equipment, GBC Pro-Tech takes every
precaution to ensure that our laminators are properly
crated to the highest standards.
Before machines leave our loading dock, they are pre-
treated with a VCI protective film to provide total cor-
rosion protection. This protective film is wrapped
around the machine and completely sealed. In addition,
moisture absorbing silicone desiccite packs are packed
inside the crate and machine cabinets.
Prior to start up of the machine, you must remove the
desiccite packs from each cabinet and discard. DO
NOT operate the machine with the desiccite packs
inside the cabinets.
Do not attempt to move the laminator across
anything other than a flat, level surface without
trained and qualified riggers. You can be crushed
or seriously injured.
The Falcon 40 Laminator is a large and heavy
piece of equipment. It is necessary to employ
LICENSED RIGGERS ONLY to move the
machine. The laminator is not designed to be
tipped up or sideways in any way. Such action
disturbs the exact alignment of the rolling parts
of the machine and requires extensive
realignment. GBC Pro-Tech’s warranty does not
cover malfunction of the equipment due to
mishandling and/or tipping.
GBC Pro-Tech bears no responsibility for
personal injury or damage due to moving the
laminator improperly.
