1.2 MACHINE INSTALLATION
Before removing your machine, check the content of your shipment with the packing memo provided. Contact your
local Artos representative if items appear to be missing.
Your machine will be bolted to the packing skids using six bolts. Remove these bolts. Be sure support the machine
for lifting by placing the forks in the areas shown. It is important to avoid contact with the upper guard assembly and
the lift truck boom. When lifting the MTX/STX machine, be certain to use a truck capable of lifting the machine
weight.
FORK
Once lifted, remove the shipping plates. This will require a 15/16’” (24 mm) socket wrench. Insert the 6 padded feet.
Set the 4 feet on the machine frame to an equal length about half way in to the hole. Make the 2 feet on the electrical
cabinet shorter so they do not tough the floor when the machine is set in place. Lower the machine into place. Using a
machine level, adjust the 4 padded feet so the machine is level. Now turn the feet on the electrical cabinet down until
they are firmly on the floor.

MTX/STX OPERATORS MANUAL
1.2.1.1 INSTALLING THE COMPUTER ON THE INFEED END
Unpack the computer, monitor, keyboard and mouse from their shipping boxes.
Control components are mounted as shown. Set down the keyboard and mouse and run cables thru the hole
provided before installing the computer.
Computer components are mounted as shown. The monitor and computer plugs into the UPS (un-interruptible
power supply) backup receptacles. The UPS connects to the appropriate cord, 110 VAC or 220 VAC (export).
The monitor, keyboard, and mouse connect to the computer as described in the computer manual (follow the color
code).
The optional UPS sets on the shelf inside
the console. Insert from the left with
control facing out. It is helpful pass the
computer and monitor power cords over
the shelf and out the hole so they can be

MTX/STX OPERATORS MANUAL
1.2.2 INSTALLING THE COMPUTER ON OUTFEED END
Unpack the computer, monitor, keyboard and mouse from their shipping boxes.
Control components are mounted as shown. Set down the keyboard and mouse and monitor. The cables are
routed through the hole in the back of the support tube.
10/25/04 6-119876

MTX/STX OPERATORS MANUAL
Feed the mouse and keyboard cable trough the tube first then the monitor cables. Bundle and tie the cables neatly
allowing enough of the bundle out of the tube to allow for rotation.
Remove the rear guard. This requires the special key that was ship with the loose parts of the machine. Inside
you will find the mating cable connections.
1. Route the cables up over the rear guard track and down along the leg on the inside.
2. Connect the cables to there respective mates.
3. The AC power connection for the monitor will be found along the sealtite bundle near the cutter head
motor.
