3.7 Consignment receipt & unpacking
IMPORTANT
Immediately after receipt of the equipment, it must be
checked against the delivery and shipping documents
for its completeness and that there has been no
damage in transportation. Later claims are not
accepted..0
Check crates, boxes, and wrappings for accessories or
spare parts that may be packed separately with the
equipment or attached to sidewalls of the box or
equipment.
Each machine has a unique production serial number.
Check that this number corresponds with that printed
on the invoice and always quote this number in
correspondence and when ordering spare parts or
further accessories.
3.8 Handling
Proper handling of the machine, done by skilled
personnel familiar with this kind of equipment, is
essential for safe and long service life of the machine.
The guidelines should be followed carefully. However,
they do not relieve the purchaser from full
responsibility or proper inspection and handling.
Damage due to improper handling or installation is
the sole responsibility of the purchaser.
THE MACHINE IS EXTREMELY HEAVY
AND SHOULD BE HANDLED AND MOVED
CAREFULLY, SO THAT NO EXTERNAL
DAMAGE IS DONE TO THE MACHINE
AND ITS PARTS.
A PALLET TRUCK/FORKLIFT SHOULD BE
USED FOR UNLOADING AND LIFTING
THE MACHINE AND ITS PARTS. MANUAL
HANDLING OF THE MACHINE HAS A
HIGH RISK FOR PARTS DAMAGE AND
SAFETY HAZARDS.
Unloading the machine from the container:
Before using a forklift to handle the machine, pad the
forks to lessen the chance of damaging the machine
frame.
Using a suitable forklift, insert the forks below the
pallet.
Lift the machine slightly above ground level and with
a slow speed pull the machine from the container or a
truck.
When pulling the machine out of the container,
ensure there is sufficient space between the machine
and the container wall so that the machine is not
damaged or scratched as this can result in failure of
the machine.

3.8.1 Unpacking the crates
IMPORTANT
When the crate with the machine and subassemblies
has been moved to the final location, the machine
and parts should be unloaded from the crate.
Balance the crate uniformly in equilibrium while
unloading the parts from the crate.
Break the straps holding the parts together - one at a
time.
This process needs to be carried out very carefully by
cutting the metal straps with a sheet metal cutter.
When the top saddle is freed, proceed with freeing the
side straps.
Please call our service department for advice, if in
doubt.
PLEASE ALSO READ CHAPTERS 4 & 5
FOR INSTALLATION ADVICE AND
MACHINE DESCRIPTION BEFORE YOU
PLACE THE MACHINE IN ITS FINAL
POSITION.
3.8.2 Lifting
To increase the safety and efficiency of the lifting
device, all lifting elements must be as perpendicular
as possible. If necessary, a wooden padding be placed
between the pallet truck/forklift and the load. See
Figure 3-1.
When heavy items are lifted up, never stay or work
under the load or in the area, in case it should fall
down.
NEVER LEAVE A LOAD IN LIFTED STATE
ON A PALLET TRUCK. THE
ACCELERATION OR THE DECELERATION
OF LIFTING EQUIPMENT MUST STAY
WITHIN THE SAFETY LIMITS FOR THE
STAFF.
WHEN HANDLING, ALWAYS WEAR
GLOVES, SAFETY BOOTS AND AN
INDUSTRIAL SAFETY HELMET.
Lifting instructions:
Use handling means in accordance with the weight of
the machine –for weight values see dimensional
drawing
To avoid distortion, the unit should be lifted as shown in
below figure.

3.8.3 Noise level for machine
After installation, during the running in of the
machine, a noise measurement should be made and, if
necessary, further noise attenuation should be
affected around the machine.
The effective sound pressure level depends on
mounting and the product to be handled.
The correct level can therefore not be stated here,
however, our measurements without product have
shown below values (when tested as per DIRECTIVE
2006/42/EC 1.7.4.2. u) on airborne noise emissions:
Without fan:
With fan:
approx. 78 dB (A)
approx. 83 dB (A)
