Before You Begin

The bookbinder contains many large moving parts. Braces, cushions, and orange tape are attached inside and outside the bookbinder to immobilize and protect the working parts during handling and shipping.

Large red warning tags are attached with ribbons to braces, cushions, and screws that must be removed at installation. However, these items must not be discarded. Some braces must be reinstalled if the machine needs to be moved to a new location. Due to the large number of braces that must be retained (there are over 20), they should be marked for future reference as they are removed.

Here are some simple rules to follow during removal of the braces, cushions, and screws:

• Use a marker with indelible ink to mark each item or its tag as instructed when it is removed from the bookbinder. This will make it easier for the service technician to identify the brace for reinstallation. This will also help you to confirm that everything has been removed from inside the machine.
• After removing a brace, set the screws in the correct holes and tape them in place. This will make it easier to find the correct screws for reinstallation.
• The red warning tags must remain attached by the ribbons to the braces, cushions, and screws. If they are reattached before moving the machine, they will serve as reminders of the items that must be removed after the machine has been moved to the new location.
• Remove the orange tape carefully and save as much of it as possible.
