Due to the weight of the unit a forklift is mandatory for removal of the 

DPL-24 from the pallet and, for final positioning. 
1.  Upon receipt of equipment  inspect for obvious external damage. 
2.  Remove Tri-Wall cardboard box or wooden crating and inspect for damage to 

the machine itself. 

 Do not attempt to slide the chamber drawer.

 

 
3.  Using a forklift roughly place the DPL-24 utilizing the attached pallet,  
4.  Remove lower back panel  
5.  Remove the four bolts securing unit to pallet. 
6.  Raise unit with forklift blades positioned under main vessel, being careful not to 

damage main valve. (see illustration below)  

 
7.  Install leveling feet 

(included) into 
threaded holes 
formerly occupied by 
shipping bolts. 

8.  Position, lower, and
