SINTER-1
UNCRATING AND PRE-INSTALLATION
REMINDER: While the Sinter-1 crate contains many boxes, the only items
required for this pre-install procedure are the furnace itself and the gas
panel; everything else is set aside for the Installer, including the tube securely
contained in its cradle.
1. Unscrew and remove the top of the shipping crate. Preserve the original shipping
crate and materials. Remove all boxes from the shelf (including two empty boxes),
and set them safely aside.
2. Unscrew the front wall of the crate. Lift the front wall out to remove it from the crate,
and set it aside. Note that the rear of the Sinter-1 faces the front of the crate.
3. After removing the front crate wall, remove box 9 (bakeout ducts) and box 1 containing
the
gas panel
, both of which rest at the bottom of the
crate in front of the Sinter-1 (see image).
4. Slide the upper shelf out of the shipping crate and set
it aside. Remove boxes 5 and 6 from the cubby at the
bottom of the crate and set them aside for the Installer.
5. Now unscrew and lift out the rear crate wall. Then
remove the four securing bolts with a 9/16” socket
wrench (not included) and lift out the side walls. Set
the crate walls aside. You are now ready to move the
Sinter-1 to its final operating location.
6. Safely transport the Sinter-1:
A.
If you are employing a forklift:
Utilize lifting straps
under the furnace and lift the device by the straps
only. Transport it to its final operating location.
B.
If you are not employing a forklift:
Using safe
lifting technique, lift the device out of the crate
and transport it to its final operating location; do
not use lifting straps. (This should take 2-3 people.)
