3-1 Uncrating the Equipment

Continuous loss-in-weight blenders are shipped bolted on a skid, enclosed in plastic wrap, and contained in a wood crate.

1.Remove the crate from around blender.

2.Secure strap of proper lifting capacity to the lifting lugs installed in the holes provided.

Caution! Use approved safety straps or chains to lift the blender from the eyebolts on the top plate (See figure 6 below for eyebolt positioning).
