1.4 Unpacking and Checking
the Components
1.4.1 Unpacking (Finisher)
MEMO:
The machine is packed using tape and cushioning
materials to be protected against vibration and
shock during transit. Be sure to remove them be-
fore starting to install the machine. (It is a good
idea to store away the removed tape and cushion-
ingmaterialforpossiblerelocationofthemachine,
e.g.,to a new site or for repairs.)
1) Take out the accessorybox from the shippingbox.
2) Lift the finisher together with its cushioning base
(Styrofoam).Be sureto work in a group oftwo per-
sons.

If you shiftup the finisher on its side,you would
likelydeform or damage the machine.Moreover,
in the case of the SaddleFinisher-AE2,the force
applied to the front cover [l] can deform the
hinge.
The finisher is rather heavy. (Weight: Finisher-
AE1: 43.2 kg, SaddleFinisher-AE2:73.2 kg) Be
sure to work in a group of two persons. Particu-
larly when moving it over a step on the floor, be
sure to take full care not to let it tumble over.
At this point, do not remove the four cushioning
materials (Styrofoam)fromthe finisher.Otherwise,
you would likely deform some areas of the ma-
chine.
3) Remove the cushioningmaterial (Styrofoam)from
the upper cover.
4) Slightly lift the front and rear casters, and remove
the cushioning material (Styrofoam). Be sure to
shiftup the finisherby holding the upper left cover
