WARNING!
FOR THE VF-0/1/2: THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE WAY TO MOVE A VF-0/1/2 IS TO
PICK IT UP FROM THE SIDE WITH A FORKLIFT. IMPORTANT! FOLLOW THE
MACHINE WEIGHT AND FORK LENGTH SPECIFICATIONS DESCRIBED EAR-
LIER. THE FORKS MUST BE SET AS FAR APART AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT
BEING ON THE PADS. THE FORKS MUST BE POSITIONED ALL THE WAY TO
THE BACK OF THE VMC AND THEY MUST EXTEND AT LEAST 3" PAST THE
FAR SIDE OF THE MACHINE BASE. ALSO, THERE MUST BE ABOUT AP-
PROXIMATELY 6" CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE FORKLIFT AND THE SIDE OF
THE MACHINE.
For the VF-3 through 10: The VF-3 through 10 must be lifted from the BACK of the machine with a forklift.
IMPORTANT! Follow the machine weight and fork length specifications described earlier. The forks must be
set as far apart as possible without being on the pads. Also, there must be about approximately 6" clearance
between the forklift and the back of the machine.
Attempting to move the machine any other way may void the warranty.
CAUTION! Use caution when lifting the machine with a forklift not to damage the sheet
metal aprons with the forks.
1. Lift the machine a few inches off the floor.
2. Cover the pallet with a 6-mil thick contiguous plastic sheet.
NOTE: This and the other plastic that is added later provide a shield against moisture
while the machine is in transit. HOWEVER, the plastic wrapping is not 100
percent waterproof and the crate must be covered with waterproof tarpaulins
any time there is a chance it can be exposed to rain, splashing from wet roads,
or other conditions where it could get wet.
3. Move the machine over the pallet and align the leveling screws with the holes in the pallet. Note
that the pallet center support is offset to one side. When the machine is placed on the pallet, the
rear of the machine must be on this side of the pallet.
