a) Uncrating the CraftCan
a) Uncrate the CraftCan and inspect the system for shipping damage. If damage is discovered, contact
your shipping carrier prior to start up. The system was thoroughly inspected prior to packaging. If
damage to the system is found, it is the carrier’s responsibility to correct the damage.
b) Inspect the system for any loose or disconnected wires, tubing or fittings. Tighten as required. It is
not unusual for some fittings to loosen due to the vibration that occurs during shipment. It is our
practice not to overtighten the fittings during the manufacturing process. We have found it better
for the life of the fittings to tighten moderately at the factory rather than to overtighten.
b) System Placement
a) The system should be located so there is unrestricted access to all sides.
b) The system should be installed in a location and manner that will prevent damage to personnel,
merchandise and/or the surrounding area in the event of an overflow, leak or discharge from the
machine or connecting lines. We recommend locating the system close to a floor drain.
c) The system should be secure from unauthorized or untrained personnel.
d) The system must not be exposed to freezing temperatures.
e) Good manufacturing practices and adherence to local regulations for food and beverage operations
should be followed.
