MACHINE SHIPMENT
Every Urschel machine is fully inspected
and test-run before it is shipped. Spare
parts, required tools, an instruction
manual and other important information
are packed in separate boxes and shipped
in the crate with the machine.
PRE-INSTALLATION PLAN
Before installation, prepare a plan to
make the use of this machine safe and effi-
cient. This plan should consider location,
electrical power source and method of
feeding and collecting product. Installation
should comply with all applicable safety
codes and regulations.
LOCATION
Choose a location that provides
machine stability, ample space, and a
clear path on all sides of the machine so
that operators can move safely and easily
in a clean, dry work area. Provide easy
access to the controls on the starter enclo-
sure and also allow room for cleaning and
maintenance. The location should provide
level footing, adequate lighting and venti-
lation and provisions for excessive noise
levels. Never locate machine in an area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Urschel Laboratories recommends that
this machine be installed on a stable sup-
port allowing the machine to be accessible
at floor level. If elevating the machine is
unavoidable, all operation, cleaning, mainte-
nance and safety features of floor level
accessibility must be maintained.

machine base plates are not fastened
securely to a stable support. Always
secure base plates to lifting forks before

Secure machine base plates to lifting
forks with C-clamps. Lift machine by the
base plates (Figure 15).
CAUTION: Always use the machine
base plates to lift or move the machine,
