a. Unnail the lid and remove it. Do the same
thing with the side panels. Pay particular
attentionto the wooden spacer blockslocated
between the sides of the crate.
b. Remove the spare parts box and other com-
ponents from the crate.
c. Unnail the wooden blocks that hold the ma-
chine in place during transport and remove
the cellophane sheet.
d. Check that the contents of the crate corre-
spondto the description givenin the shipping
documents.
e. Check that all the covers and panels have
been correctly fitted and that there are no
loose parts.
f. Visually inspectallthe electrical components
to make sure that they are not damaged.
g. If any part/component is missing, stop un-
packing and immediately notify Tetra Pak

h. If the machine has been damaged during
transit, notify the insurance company
immediately. Do not proceed beyond
unpacking until you are authorised to do so
by the insurance company.
4.1 Unpacking and delivery checks
4.2 Transport and installation
The following measures must be adopted during
the installation of the machine:
a. Position the machine at the place of
production. Move the machine using a fork
lift truck of suitable capacity (Part.1 Fig.4.1
fork positions), checking that there is
sufficient space to remove the guards and
allow ease of access to the internal machine
parts.
b. Adjust the feet (Part.2 Fig.4.1) until the ma-
chine is perfectly level both longitudinally
and transversally.

WARNING:
The connection must be made exclusively by
competent technicians familiar with accident
prevention legislation.
It is recommended that the power is taken from
a master switch fitted with thermal overload
cutoutandultra-rapidfusesofadequateamperage.
WARNING:
The differential cutout switch must be class “A”
and suitable for protecting inverter electronic
power circuits.
• Check the data on the identification plate
(Fig.4.2) to ensure that the machine is com-
patible with the factory voltage.
• Connect the three phases to terminals R S T
and the earth wire to the earth terminals in
the electric panel.
For the minimum sections of the power supply
cable, refer to the voltage and power values
reported on the identification plate (Fig.4.2) and
the standards in force in the country of
installation.
Connectthemachinetothecompressedairsupply.
The minimum working pressure is 6 bar.
If the pressure is less than 4 bar, a factory-set
pressure switch will disable the machine’s
functions.

• Make sure that there are no foreign bodies
which may prevent the machine from
operating.
• Release the emergency stop button.
• Rotate the main switch.
