4. Unloading and Unpacking
Packing Details
VastraJet is shipped in an iron cage and base called "Pallet ", wrapped in three layers with antistatic
moisture locked plastic covers. The packing and unpacking dimensions with weight are given as follow:
•Machine Dimension: 3810 x 1780 x 1640mm (Length x Width x Height)
•Packing Dimension: 4005 x 1920 x 1870mm (Length x Width x Height)
•Machine Weight: 1200kg
•Machine Weight with Packing: 1400kg
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.
Tool Requirements
The Tool Requirements for unloading and unpacking are given as follow:
•Fork lift
•Hydra Crane
•Spanner 10 mm, 17 mm, and 24 mm
•Wire Cutter
•Allen key set
•Door keys
Unloading and Unpacking the Machine
Follow these steps to unload and unpack the machine:
Step 1: Machine (along with the “Pallet”) should be unloaded from the truck to the levelled and cleaned
surface where it is to be installed.
Note: Ropes tied with pallet and crane, during unloading, must keep the machine in a perfect balance while
lifting.
Step 2: Unscrew the 6mm bolts and 10mm nuts from the joints to separate the upper part from the lower
part of the iron pallet and remove the upper cage of the pallet by lifting it with the help of crane.
Note: If wooden packing, remove all wooden side and top covers.
Step 3: Unwrap the machine.

Page | 13
VASTRAJET
Step 4: Remove the Fabric rollers, washing tub assembly and water tank from inside the machine.
Step 5: Find the door key hanging on the front right door handle.
Step 6: Open all the four doors and unscrew the bolts to free machine from the pallet with spanner 18mm.
Step 7: Take out the levelers from the accessory box and keep them handy to fit in the lifted machine.
Step 8: With the help of a Fork lift, lift the machine up. Align the Fork lift with the 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 with the Fork lift, fix 4 outer corner levelers in the slotted holes, by
moving the levelers upmost. This will expose the wheels out, thrusting the levelers in, facilitating the
machine to glide easily to its allotted position by manually pushing it.
Step 10: After all this, land the machine on the levelled surface. note the orientation of printer facing as per
the room plan, before entering the room
Precautions: Do not lift the extreme ends of the machine by machine or hand, as it may result in serious
damage (sensitive areas).
