A NOTE ABOUT RECYCLING
The crate components can be reused for shipping the
machine again, or can be disassembled and the wood
and screws recycled. The shrink wrap is not recyclable,
however, so it must be discarded.

NOTE
A word about international shipments: As these are
heavy pieces of equipment, GBC Pro-Tech takes every
precaution to ensure that our laminators are properly
crated to the highest standards.
Before machines leave our loading dock, they are pre-
treated with a VCI protective film to provide total cor-
rosion protection. This protective film is wrapped
around the machine and completely sealed. In addition,
moisture absorbing silicone desiccite packs are packed
inside the crate and machine cabinets.
Prior to start up of the machine, you must remove the
desiccite packs from each cabinet and discard. DO
NOT operate the machine with the desiccite packs
inside the cabinets.
Once the F-36 PRO Laminator has been unpacked and
moved into final position check each of the following
items.
Tools required:
•
1
/
8
" hex wrench
•
Adjustable wrench
Setup Procedure
1. Inspect the laminator for any obvious shipping
damage.
2. Remove the drive and control side cabinet covers
with the
1
/
8
" hex wrench by removing the six
screws holding each cover in place.
3. Inspect all the bolts and tighten any that were loos-
ened during shipping.
4. Check the upper main
roll
assembly by using the
handwheel to raise and lower the
roll
. It should
move smoothly.
5. Set the nip. (See Section 4: Maintenance and Trou-
bleshooting for the procedure.)
6. Verify that both sensors are clean and properly con-
tact the rolls.
Do not attempt to move the laminator across
anything other than a flat, level surface without
trained and qualified riggers. You can be crushed
or seriously injured.
The F-36 PRO Laminator is a large and heavy
piece of equipment. It is necessary to employ
LICENSED RIGGERS ONLY to move the
machine. The laminator is not designed to be
tipped up or sideways in any way. Such action
disturbs the exact alignment of the rolling parts
of the machine and requires extensive
realignment. GBC Pro-Tech’s warranty does not
cover malfunction of the equipment due to
mishandling and/or tipping.
GBC Pro-Tech bears no responsibility for
personal injury or damage due to moving the
laminator improperly.
Do not use a knife or other sharp instrument
during installation or while servicing the
laminator. You can cause irreparable damage to
the rolls.
