2.4 TRANSPORTATION AND UNPACKING
SMIPACK S.p.A., depending on the type of transportation and products to be delivered, uses
adequate packaging to guarantee integrity and preservation during transportation.
Handle with care when transporting and positioning the
machine. The carrier is liable for damage sustained
during transportation. Be careful not to damage the
exposed parts when unpacking the unit. The machine
module must be handled from beneath. Due to the type
of packaging, systems that work from above cannot be
used.
Lift the machine in the middle from the longest side and
adjust the position of the fork-lift truck at the greatest
centred position possible.
ATTENTION!
Before handling, always make sure that the lifting device is suitable to lift the load.
For prolonged storage, place the machine in a covered area at a temperature ranging from -
15 °C to +55 °C, with a humidity degree between 30% and 90% without condensation.
2.5 ASSEMBLY BY USER
This section describes the assembly processes which must be carried out by the user
according to the user's own requirements.
1) ASSEMBLY OF THE WHELLS
• Remove the supports 1 of the machine attached to the pallet.
• Keeping up the machine using a fork-lift truck mount the wheels as shown in the figure.
Fig. 2.4.1
Fig. 2.5.1

Use and maintenance manual FP560 - FP560A - FP870A

Attention! Mount the two wheels A equipped with brakes at the front of the machine.
2) ASSEMBLY OF THE REEL HOLDER
• Put the reel holder support (1) in the relative guides.
• Use a screwdriver at point 2.
3) INSTALLATION OF THE ROLLER CONVEYOR
a) For models FP560 and FP560A :
• Insert the roller conveyor in the couplings 1 of the conveyor belt, securing it with the roller
2 in the relevant holes 3.
• During assembly and disassembly avoid pushing the roller conveyor sideways in order not
to damage its couplings.
b) For model FP870A :
• With screws 1 attach the roller conveyor to the pre-drilled holes on the machine as shown
in the figure.

• During assembly and disassembly avoid pushing the roller conveyor sideways in order not
to damage its couplings.
4) INSTALLATION OF THE SCRAP COLLECTION DEVICE
a) MOUNTING THE FILM SCRAP COLLECTION DEVICE
• Apply screws 1 on machine support B, being careful not to tighten them in order to facilitate
the subsequent operations. (stay at about 5 mm from the stop).
• Remove the protection guard 2 by undoing the screws 3.
• Position the device so that the upper side of support A comes into contact with support B,
surpassing the previously mounted screws by means of the wider holes. Then move the
device sideways in order to reach the final conditions shown in the figure and then fully
tighten the screws 1.
• Finally reassemble the protective casing 2.
