Positioning the RBM

 Ribbon Blender

WARNING:

 To prevent personal injury, wear steel toe boots and heavy duty grip 

gloves while transporting the RBM

 Ribbon Blender.

LFA recommends carrying the machine with a forklift (or two). At least two 
people (four people for larger range) should be involved (one/two operating the 
forklift and one/two stabilizing the machine) in removing the machine from the 
shipping container and placing it in the workspace.

Moving the RBM

 Ribbon Blender (smaller machine range) with a Forklift

Tools and Materials Needed

•  Forklift that is rated to lift at least 5,000 kg
•  Lifting straps that are rated for at least 5,000 kg
•  Spirit level
•  Heavy duty grip gloves
•  Steel toe boots

Instructions

1. Position the forks of a forklift truck above the machine and securely attach the lifting straps.
2. Feed and secure the lifting straps underneath the Mixing Tank. 
3. Carefully lift the machine off the pallet so that it is suspended in the air by the lifting straps. 
4. Lower the machine so that it is no more than 2-3 cm off the floor. 
5. Position the machine in the desired location and carefully lower the machine.
6. Ensure that the machine is flat on the ground with a spirit level.
7. Plug the machine into the appropriate electrical outlet.
