During the setup process, operation, and

• A forklift or other power lifting device
rated for more than the weight of the
machine.
• Two lifting web straps rated for the
weight of the machine.
• At least two other persons to help with
the operation.

• We recommend a qualified electrician
to ensure a safe and code-compliant
connection to the power source. (Refer to

The typical preparation process is as follows:

contents of the box/crate.
2.
Clean the machine and its components.
3. Identify an acceptable location for the
machine and move it to that location.
4. Level the machine and either bolt it to the
floor or place it on mounts.
5.
Assemble the loose components and make
any necessary adjustments or inspections to
ensure the machine is ready for operation.
6.
Connect the machine to the power source.
7. Test run the machine to make sure it
functions properly and is ready for operation.
