4.2 MOVE THE CRATE
WARNING!
Transportation and Lift Hazard: Before
moving the machine, you must confirm that all
persons are clear of the area below the machine.
Qualified professionals must transport, lift, and move
the machine. Moving parts can entangle, pinch, or cut
you, causing death or serious injury.
Verify that the ground surface is smooth, and then use a
pallet jack to move the pallet(s) to the desired
installation location.
Note:
If the ground is not smooth, you may
need to use a forklift (or similar lifting
equipment rated for uneven surfaces) to move
the pallet(s).
One side of the crate is labeled "Lift from this side only".
Ensure that you have at least 8 feet of free space behind
this side of the crate, so that you can lay the machine
down flat on the ground.
4.3 UNPACK THE CRATE
CAUTION!
Sharp Objects Hazard: Before opening the
shipping crate, you must put on work gloves and
safety eyewear that meets ANSI Z87+. If you don't,
the shipping crate and steel straps could cut you,
causing serious injury.
1. Put on work gloves and eye protection.
2. Open and disassemble the machine's shipping crate with
snips and a pry bar. Start with the top and follow by the
four sides, then remove the plastic machine wrap and
discard. When finished, the contents will look similar to
the following image.
