4.1 BEFORE YOU BEGIN
4.1.1 Inspect the Items Delivered
1. Read the packing list to see if there are any items that
have not yet been delivered. We recommend waiting
until you've received all shipments to begin installing the
machine. Depending on the product and options ordered,
the system may arrive in one or more shipments of:
l Accessories(if applicable)
l Machine
Note: The machine system and large
accessories are sent by freight carrier. Smaller
accessories may be sent by parcel service.
2. Inspect the item(s):
l Photograph any damage that may have occurred
during shipping.
l Note any damage on the delivery receipt before
signing for the shipment.
l Verify the received goods against the packing list.
If there is any damage or shortages, you must contact
Tormach within 30 days of receipt. Create a support
ticket with Tormach Technical Support at
tormach.com/how-to-submit-a-support-ticket for
guidance on how to proceed.
4.1.2 Machine Configuration
Depending on which machine configuration you purchased, the
setup or installation varies.

applicable, go to "Install Accessory Components"
(page68).
l If your machine is factory-assembled: follow the setup
procedures in "Factory-Assembled Machine Setup"
(page62), go to "Verify the Installation" (page65) and
then, if applicable, go to "Install Accessory Components"

4.3 MOVE THE PALLET
Shipments arrive in crates loaded on pallets, which the freight
carrier unloads onto the curb or loading dock.
WARNING! Transportation and Lift Hazard: Before
moving the machine, you must confirm that all
persons are clear of the area below the machine.
Qualified professionals must transport, lift, and move
the machine. Moving parts can entangle, pinch, or cut
you, causing death or serious injury.
Verify that the ground surface is smooth and clean of
debris, and then use a pallet jack to move the pallet(s) to
the desired installation location. Follow the instructions
on the pallet to determine from which side to lift.
Note: If the ground is not smooth, you may
need to use a forklift (or similar lifting
equipment rated for uneven surfaces) to move
the pallet(s).
