4.0 Installation
This section will guide you through the installation process
of the laminator.
INFORMATION: Shipping damage should be
brought to the immediate attention of the delivering
carrier.
4.1 Setting up the laminator
1.
Place the Patriot 12HR or 25HC laminator on a stable
flat surface capable of supporting at least 95 lbs. (45kgs).
The Patriot 38HC comes with its own stand. Reference
the stand assembly sheet provided in the utility bag that is
shipped with the laminator. However, should you wish to
place it on a table, the laminator is equipped with rubber
feet. The table should be capable of supporting up to 170
lbs. (78 kg).
The surface should be at least 30 inches high to assure
comfortable positioning during operation.
CAUTION: Too high or too low of an operating
position can lead to serious bodily injury and or cause
poor output quality.
All four rubber support feet should be positioned
completely on the supporting surface.
CAUTION: The laminator is a heavy piece of
equipment and may cause injury and/ or require
extensive repair work.if it falls.
The supporting surface may also be large enough to hold
the material being laminated.
2.
The laminator should be positioned to allow exiting
film to drop freely to the floor.
CAUTION: Accumulation of laminate immediately
behind the laminator as it exits the equipment may
cause the film to wrap around the pull rollers,
resulting in a “jammed” condition.
3.
Avoid locating the laminator near sources of heat or
cold. Avoid positioning the laminator in the direct path of
forced heated or cooling air.
INFORMATION: This effects the performance of
the heating system and could result in poor output
quality.
CAUTION: The stand and laminator should only be
moved across even flat surfaces by two or more
people. Do not turn the laminator on its side or up
side down to move.
4.
Connect the attachment plug provided with the
laminator to a suitably grounded outlet only.
Refer to Section 3.6 Electrical Requirements
CAUTION: Avoid connecting other equipment to the
same branch circuit to which the laminator is
connected, this may result in nuisance tripping of
circuit breakers or blowing fuses.
