the fabric.
•Fabric surface may get wavy or curved by a sudden temperature and humidity change. When
setting the fabric into the machine, flatten the surface with hands without making any scratches
or stains.
•Do not wet the fabric.
•Keep the box or bag that came with the fabric. They can be used for storage.
•Store fabric in a cool and dry place. Avoid direct sunlight.

The machine is fixed at four corners of the Pallet with a set of four bolts (replacing the leveler fitting
holes), each assuring a firm grip while transporting the machine. Tub along with trolley, supply and take
up pipes, water tank will be enclosed with the machine.
Tools Requirements
The following tools are required to unload the machine:
•Fork lift
•Crane
•Cutter
•Spanner 10mm
•Spanner 18mm
Unload the Machine
Follow these steps to unload the machine:
Step 1: Tied the machine using ropes/slings for making a perfect balance for lifting.
Step 2: Machine should be kept on leveled and cleaned surface or floor.
Step 3: Unload the machine using the container or lorry.
Now, the machine gets unloaded.
Unpack the Machine
Follow these steps to unpack the machine:
Step 1: Unload the machine in a perfectly leveled or even surface.
Step 2: Remove the 6mm bolts and 10mm nuts from the pallet joints to separate the upper part from the
lower part.

Page | 14
TXF
Step 4: Remove the machine cover and check the door key hanging on the front right door of the handle.
Step 5: Open all the four doors and remove the bolts to free machine from the pallet using 18mm Spanner.
Step 6: Remove the pipes, tub assembly, and water tank from inside the machine.
Step 7: Take out the levelers from the accessory box and keep them handy to fit in the lifted machine.
Step 8: Lift the machine up using the fork lift and align the Fork Lift as per the given markings on the
machine to balance the clamp. In case of lifting with crane, ropes must be tied just near to pallet mounting
holes, (and strictly not near the extreme ends of the lower cabinet). Upper cabinet should be secured with
foam below the tied ropes.
Step 9: While the machine is being lifted, fix all the levelers (8 levelers) in the given slot or holes.
Step 10: Moving the levelers upmost will expose the wheels out, thrusting the levelers in, facilitating the
machine to glide easily to its allotted position by manually pushing it.
Step 11: Check and verify the direction of printer facing as per the room plan and unload the machine.
Note: Do not lift the machine from it’s extreme ends, as it may result in serious damage (sensitive
areas).
