1. Transportation
The machine must only be transported and installed by
companies / persons instructed / authorised to do so by the
manufacturer or under the manufacturer‘s supervision.
After moving the machine, every part of it must be checked
for transportation damage as possible harm may impair
system operation and safety.
NOTE
To prepare transportation, please bear in mind the weight
of the machine!
The machine weighs approx. 33.5 kg.
Transportation on fork lift truck or pallet jack:
If fork lift trucks or hand pallet jacks are used for loading or
unloading, they must be in proper working order and suitable
for carrying the weights that are involved.
Attention must always be paid to the centre of gravity of the
item being moved!
During transportation, the machines must be properly
secured; the load must be evenly distributed. Avoid jerky
movements.
Set the machine down without bumps or jolts as well as in
an upright standing position. Take immediate action to pre-
vent these from being damaged by transportation vehicles
and from tipping over. On unloading, handling and keeping
the machine in temporary storage, treat it with the greatest
possible care and protect it from the weather, impact of
external force and from falling objects.
WARNING
Warning of suspended loads!
To relocate the machine, it must be lifted and
transported. The machine can topple over and fall as
a result of improper lifting and transportation.
Never stand under suspended loads!
WARNING
Warning of suspended loads!
While transporting the machine, no persons must be
present on the machine or hang from it.
2. Internal transportation
To move the machine internally, only use trolleys of sufficient
stability and load capacity. When handling, always be sure
to avoid knocks and vibration. Provide protruding objects
(motors, drag chains, wiring harnesses, hoses, cylinders) with
effective protection from damage.

3. Checking delivery for missing items
Refer to the order confirmation or the list in this operating
manual as well as the delivery note to ascertain what should
be included. On receipt, immediately check to make sure a
delivery is complete. Notify the shipping company making
the delivery of any missing parts (notice of loss) and also
immediately inform Paul Hettich GmbH & Co. KG.
4. Dealing with shipping damage
Immediately after arrival and unloading, thoroughly check
the machine for any shipping damage, i.e for externally
visible damages (fractures, dents, kinks, cracks etc.).
Any suspected shipping damage must immediately be:
• reported in writing to the shipping company making the
delivery (forwarder) and/or
• reported in writing to your own insurance company as well
if the transportation risk was insured by the owner
5. Site of installation
An even standing surface with a sufficient load capacity is
essential for setting up the machine in a proper and safe
manner. Any unevenness in the standing surface must be
evened out by metal shims to ensure that the machine is not
standing in a distorted manner.
The BlueMax Mini Type 3 comes in secure shipment
packaging for safe transportation. A number of components
must be installed to make the machine ready for operation.
After installing the machine, it must be cleaned.
Secure the machine on a bench / base frame to be provided
at the site of installation so as to prevent it from falling.
CAUTION
Risk of crushing!
Allow a space of at least 500 mm between moving
machine parts and pillars, parts of the building, cabinets
etc.!
Do not stand any laden pallets in this safety zone!
