BEFORE INSTALLING THIS ROLL FORMING MACHINE, READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS MANUAL
AND “SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION, AND CARE OF USE OF THE ROLL
FORMING MACHINE”.
INSTALLATION
RECEIVING
Immediately upon receiving the roll forming machine, check it very carefully for damage or loss of parts in
transit. Since all equipment is sold F.O.B., the Roper Whitney corp. plant, our responsibility for transit
damage ceases when the transportation company signs the bill of lading indicating that it has received
all of the items listed on the bill of lading in good condition. Report any loss or damage to the delivering
carrier promptly to insure proper handling of your claim.
Question - Distributor or Roper Whitney -- Shortages not appearing on the bill of lading or discrepancies
between equipment received and the order should be reported to Roper Whitney Corp. immediately.
LEVELING
Be sure machine is solid and reasonably level on all four points so there is no camber or twist to the
machine.
If machine is shipped on a pallet, be sure to remove from pallet and place directly on flooring.
Machine must be securely bolted to floor. Bolt holes are provided in base of machine.
CLEANING
In spite of precautions taken in preparing the shear for shipment, dirt and foreign material may
accumulate on machine and other parts during transit, and can cause considerable damage unless
thoroughly cleaned. It is extremely important to inspect and thoroughly clean off any dirt and foreign
material that may have accumulated. DO NOT attempt to blow dirt out with an air hose as this may force
some foreign material into undesirable areas. Remove rust proofing compound with an acceptable
solvent.
