3.0 Unpacking
At the factory, the Planetary Mill is adjusted and tested for proper operation, and carefully packaged for
shipping, Upon receipt, carefully inspect the exterior of the packing crate. If there is any visible damage, notify
Spex and file a claim with the carrier immediately.
To unpack the Planetary Mill, loosen and remove the eight wing nuts on the lower edge of the crate (two on
each side) and lift the crate sleeve off the base (this is a 2-person job). Remove loose items from the crate.
Remove any protective plastic cover from the mill. Remove the four hexagonal shipping feet from the bottom of
the crate, unscrewing the hex head screw using a 9/16 in wrench.
CAUTION:
The Planetary Mill weights about 250 pounds (113 kg). Be sure to have a mechanical hoist or lifting
equipment on hand when moving the unit.
Follow a logical sequence of steps as you inspect the unit (Figures 1 and 2). For example:
1. Inspect the outside of the cabinet for any visible damage.
2. Inspect the electrical input module and on/off switch for any visible damage.
3. Ensure that the door mechanism is working properly (Section 9.2).
4. Open the door and inspect the interior of the Planetary Mill.
5. Check that the clamp has not been damaged.
6. Inspect the accessory pack. Compare with the packing list.
If everything seems to be in proper order, store the crate and packaging materials in case there is a need to
return the unit for service or repair.
