UNCRATING THE TERMINATOR® AND PREPARING IT FOR OPERATION
When you receive the Terminator®, inspect the outside of the crate completely, to detect damage to the crate
itself. If it is damaged, notify the carrier immediately and follow his/her instructions to file a claim.
Carefully uncrate the machine and inspect it for damage that may have occurred during shipping. If the
shipment is damaged, notify the carrier immediately and file a claim in the normal manner.
Remove the crate debris, set aside the blades and other packages, and prepare the Terminator® for operation:
To remove the TERMINATOR® from crate with a forklift:
1.) Remove footrest: pull clevis pin out (located on the right hand side), this exposes forklift slots.
To remove the TERMINATOR® manually:
1.) Put on full propane tank.
2.) Take 2 x 4’s off the edge of the crate and between the wheels.
3.) Place 2 x 4’s behind the crate of the rear of the machine.
4.) Make a ramp with the 2 x 4’s and the crate material.
5.) Start the TERMINATOR® (Do Not sit on the machine).
6.) Lift front wheel off of the crate 5 in. (jaw will be on crate). Remove feet from area.
7.) With right and left lever pull up and move both levers back slowly. The machine will start moving
slowly backwards.
8.) Jaw will roll back on ramp; both wheels have to come off evenly. If no machine will roll to one side. It
is extremely important to back up straight
9.) As machine rolls back, make sure center wheel clears the crate. If not lift wheel higher (center lever).
10.) Once machine is on the ramp slide all the way to the bottom then lift jaw up and set center wheel down
to the ground.
