2-6 Uncrating
40 Series Granulator
40 Series granulators are shipped mounted on a wooden skid
then blocked and banded to prevent movement. All non-painted
items subject to corrosion are coated with a quality rust
preventative and the machine is then covered with heavy duty
polyethylene to protect it from moisture and dirt.
Cumberland granulators are normally shipped completely
assembled unless the size of the machine or an agreement for
special shipping arrangements causes partial disassembly.
If inspection revealed no shipping damage, unpack the unit by
removing the polyethylene covering and banding. For detailed
uncrating information, follow the instructions listed below:
1. Remove outer sheet covering. Cut banding.
2. Use a pry bar to remove the blocks securing the unit to the
skid.
3. Insert forks between skid and granulator from the front
side (infeed opening side) as far as possible without
touching the front of the unit. The forks must be
equidistant from the centerline of the unit and the unit
must be balanced on the forks.
4. Lift the unit off the skid with a fork truck. Lift slowly and
only high enough to clear the skid. Use a pry bar if
necessary to carefully remove the skid from the unit.
5. Lower slowly onto the floor.
Retain the crating material for reshipping the granulator in case hidden
shipping damage is found.
DO NOT attempt to lift the granulator by means of
any shaft or protruding member,
ESPECIALLY THE HOPPER
