3.0 UNPACKING
The 8000M Mixer/Mill is shipped assembled and carefully packed to avoid damage during
shipping. Any visible damage to the shipping container should immediately be reported to the
carrier. If there is no visible damage, remove all packing documents from the exterior of the
box, and after completion of inspection, file with your records.
Open the top of the shipping box. Remove the foam packing material. Carefully grasp the straps
on the mill from both sides, exercising caution while using proper lifting techniques to remove
the unit from the carton (the unit weighs 70 lbs). Place the mill on the bench top where it will
likely stay, remove the straps and open the lid. Look for any hidden damage that may have
occurred during shipping.
Follow a logical sequence of steps as you inspect the unit (see Figure 1). For example:
1. Inspect the outside of the cabinet for any visible damage.
2. Inspect the electrical input module and On/Off switch for any visible damage.
3. Ensure that the latch mechanism is working properly (see Section 4.2).
4. Open the lid and inspect the interior of the Mixer/Mill.
5. Check that the motor has not been damaged.
6. Check that the springs and mounting points appear undamaged.
7. Inspect the accessory pack. Compare with the packing list.
If everything seems to be in proper order, store the packaging materials in case there is a need
to return the unit for service or repair.
