SHIPPING AND RECEIVING
Each Minster Model 101 OBI/OBS Series press is
carefully prepared for shipment to protect the press
during transit and to enable the customer to install the
press with a minimum of reassembly when it arrives at
its destination.
When the press is received, it should be inspected
immediately for any visual signs of damage. If any dam-
age has occurred, notify MINSTER and the CARRIER
for claims inspection. However, with F.O.B. shipments,
a claim must be presented to the CARRIER by the cus-
tomer since title of the equipment changes to the cus-
tomer when shipment is accepted by the carrier.
UNLOADING AND LIFTING
REMOVE all accessories and boxes attached to the
skids so that these parts will not be damaged in han-
dling the press. The press should remain on the skids
until it is placed under the handling equipment.
WARNING
MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE CRANE OR HOIST
AND ASSOCIATED CABLES, CHAIN AND HOOKS
ARE CAPABLE OF SAFELY LIFTING THE WEIGHT
INVOLVED.
Two (2) lifting lugs are provided on the top of the press.
(See Figure 1C.) Riggers should be cautioned never to
place lifting slings around the press crankshaft. Work-
men should also be instructed to use adequate block-
ing when placing slings around major frame parts to
prevent cables from crushing oil lines or damaging
electrical conduit and/or other exposed components.
CAUTION
NEVER USE A FORKLIFT UNDER THE SLIDE
ASSEMBLY TO LIFT THE PRESS OR DAMAGE TO
THE SLIDE COULD OCCUR.
PRESS WEIGHT
The following table of press weights includes all facto-
ry supplied items mounted on the press when it is
assembled. All weights are approximate and do not
include the additional weight of dies, feeds, or other
customer-added equipment.
CLEANING
Before installing the press, clean it thoroughly to
remove cinders, rust, salt, sand and other soil that may
have accumulated during shipment. Carefully inspect
and clean all exposed areas where foreign particles
may have adhered. Use a good grade of commercial
solvent to remove slushing and rust-preventing com-
pounds. Use care when applying cleaning solvents to
the press. Make certain that the solvent used will not
cause damage to any seals that it might contact.
