Installing the Processor
Removing the Processor from the Shipping Skid
The processor weighs over 200 kg (442 lb), therefore use 2 people when installing the LEVELING
SCREWS and moving the processor into position.
The processor is not attached to the SHIPPING SKID. Use care when moving the SKID.
[1] Move the processor, on the SHIPPING SKID, as close as possible to the processor’s final destination.

[2] Remove the FEED-END, LOWER ACCESS PANEL and the 2 SIDE PANELS from the processor for
easier access.
[3] Move the processor so that one corner is off the SHIPPING SKID.
To prevent damaging the LEVELING SCREWS and the processor, do not allow more than a
25 mm (1 in.) clearance between the bottom of the processor and the HEAD of the LEVELING
SCREW.
[4] Insert a LEVELING SCREW into the corner of the processor that is off the SKID.
