14.5 Leveling Castors
WARNING
The E-Multi injection unit must be operated with the leveling castor pads
bearing the weight of the unit. Failure to use the leveling pads may cause
the castor wheels to fail and lead to unexpected and dangerous
unbalancing of the E-Multi injection unit.
Once the E-Multi injection unit is in position at the machine, the leveling
castor pads are extended equally until the stand is resting on the pads and
the wheels are not touching the ground. With the wheels off the ground, the
leveling pads can be used to provide additional height adjustment to align the
adapter plate with the mold. The leveling castors also provide a height fine
adjustment of 12-15 mm (0.47-0.59 in.) depending on the stand.

14.6 Mold Installation
CAUTION
Do not move the stand with the unit installed without crane support.
CAUTION
1. Roll the assembled (empty) stand close to the injection molding machine,
i.e. within 3 m (9.84 ft).
2. Install adapter plate onto E-Multi machine. See “Adapter Plate Removal
and Installation” on page 9-10.
3. Attach lifting devices and crane to the E-Multi injection unit unit as
outlined in “E-Multi Weight Specifications” on page 3-20. Using the crane,
install the E-Multi injection unit into the stand adapter bracket. Secure
using correct screws. Torque according to “Screw Torque Specifications”
4. With the crane still supporting the E-Multi injection unit and stand
assembly, move the assembly into position near the mold.
5. Remove the column hitch pin (compact stand) or clamping plates (heavy
duty stand). Using the crane, slowly lift the E-Multi injection unit until the
center line height is approximately 3-6 mm (0.12 to 0.24 in.) below the
center height of the mold inlet for the E-Multi injection unit. This will allow
the fine height adjustment to be completed using the leveling castors.
