quirements on page 2-2.
2. Remove the crating, strapping, and other
packaging materials except guide tapes
(Figure 2-3), the protective plastic cover
and the brown paper on the ironing cyl-
inder. These protective coverings should
be left in place so the unit remains clean

any materials shipped with the unit. Close
and secure the doors.

• Lift one endframe and carefully re-
move the skid from under it and then
