INSTALLATION

Uncrating the Machine

CAUTION:

When taking the top off, care should be taken so that the top does not fall into the crate, possibly damaging the laminator. It might be necessary to use two or three people for this task.

During the uncrating process make sure that the screws do not end up on the floor. They can cause problems later when trying to roll the machine into position.

To uncrate the Orca 80-99 Laminator you will need a phillips head screwdriver. It helps to have a cordless drill with the screwdriver bit, because there are quite a few screws to remove throughout this procedure. In order to minimize the possibility of damage to your new Orca 80- 99 Laminator, please follow this procedure exactly.

1.The top of the crate is the first piece to be removed (see diagram on page 4-3).

2.Next, remove one side of the crate (see diagram). At this point it is necessary to have someone support the remaining side of the crate while the remaining end is being removed. Maintain support of the side until all mounting screws are removed and the side is off the crate.

3.Remove the end of the crate (see diagram).

CAUTION:

Do not use a knife or other sharp instrument to remove any protective covering. This could cause irreparable damage to the machine.

4.Remove the shrink wrap from the machine and its contents.

5.Once the shrink wrap is off, remove any accessories from the crate. While doing this, take care not to scuff the machine.

6.When all the accessories have been removed from the crate you will notice that there are two ramps that are bolted down to the crate bottom: these will need to be removed, using the phillips head screwdriver.

The ramps must then be secured to the edge of the crate bottom using the screws left over from crate disassembly (see diagram).

PLEASE NOTE: The Orca 80-99 Laminator is a large and heavy piece of mechanical equipment. Casual movement of equipment of this type can be hazardous to the average person; and poses the potential of serious damage to the machine.

It will be necessary to employ qualified and trained personnel (licensed, certified RIGGERS) if any movement of the machine other than rolling on a flat, level surface is contemplated.

The Orca 80-99 Laminator is not designed to be tipped up or sideways in anyway. Such action may disturb the exact alignment of the rolling parts of the machine and require extensive re-alignment. GBC Pro-Tech’s warranty does not cover malfunction of the equipment due to mis-handling and/or tipping.

GBC Pro-Tech bears no responsibility for parties who fail to follow these directions. Any injury or damage to the machine due to improper moving is the sole responsibility of the mover.

Before the machine can be rolled off the crate, the foot bolts must be freed from the four shipping hold-down plates. Loosen the lock-nut on each of the foot bolts.

Unscrew the foot bolts from the hold-down plates. Raise but do not remove the bolts and lock nuts from the foot bracket. (At this time, you may wish to remove the hold- down plates from the crate to provide unrestricted removal of the machine from the crate).
