6.3 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TRANSPORT
The machine is initially packaged: it is positioned and secured on wooden pallets,
wrapped in protective nylon for dust and water infiltrations and covered in cardboard.
Do not use devices which were damaged during transport.
STORING: The device must be preserved in a closed environment, not in the open air, in
temperature and moisture conditions similar to those specified for its functioning.
Transport of the machine to the place of its actual installation is at the client’s expense
ad requires a lift truck.
Refer to the product’s technical sheet to know its net weight and gross weight with
packaging.
When using the lift truck the product must be secured with belts to prevent it from
overturning in the event of braking.
Unpacking operations:
1. Take the external strapping off the packaging
2. Open and remove the cardboard and the nylon wrapping
3. Do not place the machine on its side
4. Remove the polystyrene corner protectors
5. The machine base is fastened to a pallet to be lifted and transported. When the
machine is placed in the position for actual operation, the pallet holders, made with
self-tapping wood screws, must be removed.
6. Place the machine on a horizontal plane with a maximum gradient of 2°; level it
using the adjustable feet.
7. Do not place the machine on a flammable surface.
8. Do not use the door handles to transport the product.
Manual transportation of the product must be avoided as far as possible. The use of a tail
lift is recommended.
If manual transportation is necessary: involve at least 3 people or more to transport the
product. Use a “ramp” to take the device off the pallet more easily. Take care to secure the
ramp to the wooden pallet to prevent unexpected repositioning.
POSITIONING THE MACHINE in the area of proper use
In the “double door” versions: the loading side is characterized by a small lower door which
gives access to the detergent compartment and the electric disconnector – be careful not to
confuse the loading side with the unloading side.
LEVELING
Once the machine has been placed, screw or unscrew the feet in order to adjust its position
and level it with the bubble level so that it is perfectly horizontal (maximum angular
tolerance permitted: 0.5°, corresponding to a maximum gap permitted on the extreme
points of the machine of about 5mm).
Levelling the device properly helps its correct operation.
