Figure 2-3: Removing the Packing Assemblies

5.Remove the screws holding the foot pads onto the pallet using the Phillips head screwdriver.

6.Have the laminator lifted off the skid and placed on the floor by licensed riggers. The riggers must also unscrew the foot bolts from the laminator frame since it requires lifting the laminator.

WARNING

Do not attempt to move the laminator across

anything other than a flat, level surface without trained and qualified riggers. You can be crushed or seriously injured.

The Falcon 36 Laminator is a large and heavy piece of equipment. It is necessary to employ LICENSED RIGGERS ONLY to move the machine. The laminator is not designed to be tipped up or sideways in any way. Such action disturbs the exact alignment of the rolling parts of the machine and requires extensive realignment. GBC Pro-Tech’s warranty does not cover malfunction of the equipment due to mishandling and/or tipping.

GBC Pro-Tech bears no responsibility for personal injury or damage due to moving the laminator improperly.

7.Once the laminator is in place set the locking mechanism on all four wheels to ON.

8.Remove any plastic strapping and packing paper taped to the rolls.

CAUTION

Do not use a knife or other sharp instrument

during installation or while servicing the laminator. You can cause irreparable damage to the rolls.

9.Remove all packing materials to a safe distance from the laminator.⇒A NOTE ABOUT RECYCLING

The pallet can be reused for shipping the machine again, or can be disassembled and the wood and screws recycled. The cardboard can be recycled. The shrink wrap is not recyclable, however, so it must be discarded.

⇒NOTE

A word about international shipments: As these are heavy pieces of equipment, GBC Pro-Tech takes every precaution to ensure that our laminators are properly crated to the highest standards.

Before machines leave our loading dock, they are pre-treated with a VCI protective film to provide total corrosion protection. This protective film is wrapped around the machine and completely sealed. In addition, moisture absorbing silicone desiccite packs are packed inside the crate and machine cabinets.

Prior to start up of the machine, you must remove the desiccite packs from each cabinet and discard. DO NOT operate the machine with the desiccite packs inside the cabinets.
