ALPHA 538/552
1. TRANSPORTATION
Please read the safety precautions described at the beginning of this manual before
handling the following devices.
Depending on its destination, the ALPHA 538/552 bar feeder may be delivered either on a pallet or
packed in a wooden crate. When transported by sea or by air, the second solution is recommended.
Regardless of the type of packaging, the uncrating and lifting instructions recommended by LNS must be
observed in order to prevent any injuries to persons and damages to objects. These instructions are
stapled to the crate of the bar feeder.
1.1. Unpacking
For practical and safety reasons, the bar feeder must be unpacked in a spacious, well-lit location.
Check that the lifting capacity of the hoisting crane, or lift truck, is adequate before
proceeding with the handling of the merchandise. No one should be near the hanging load,
or within the operating range of the overhead hoist/crane, forklift, or any other means used
for lifting and transportation.
1) If the bar feeder is received in a crate, start
by unscrewing the front panel.
2) Remove the top.
3) Remove the side-walls.
