Site Considerations

Floor Load

Refer to the Machine Data Sheets (beginning on Page 4) for the weight and footprint specifications of your machine. Some floors may require addi- tional reinforcement to support both the machine and operator.

Placement Location

Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a location for your new machine. See Figures 10–11for the minimum working clearances.
