3 Preparation Before Operating the Machine
3.1 Shipping
The equipment is delivered in transport units.
Each transport unit is loaded onto a wooden pallet,
secured by polyester strapping.
3.2 Transportation & Centre of Gravity
Transport the strapping machine on a pallet. Lift
the unit using forklift truck or other lifting device.
Proper packaging requires that the casters rest in a
recess. Cover the machine with a sturdy box for
protection. Secure the unit to the pallet with
plastic strapping. Place the strapping across the
top plates. Use cardboard to avoid marring. Use
plastic strapping to hold the cover to the pallet.
The machine can be removed from the pallet
using forklift truck or other lifting device.
CAUTION!
Do not carry machine by having the
forklift’s fork under the arch, but only
under the machine frame.
