• The bookbinder weighs 316 kg (695 lb.). At least four service technicians are required to unload the bookbinder from its pallet.
  • You will need a manual forklift to position the pallet for unloading.

  1. Remove the packing straps and cardboard cover.
  2. Use a manual forklift [A] to position the pallet so there is at least 2 meters (6.5 ft.) of free space to the right side of the bookbinder [B].
  3. Remove the packing from the top of the machine [A].
  4. Pull down the protective plastic cover [B] on all four sides.

    • Collapsible metal handles are provided on the right and left side of the bookbinder.
    • To avoid physical injury, always use these handles to lift either the right or the left side of the bookbinder.
    • Never attempt to raise the left or right side of the bookbinder alone. Two people, one on each handle, should lift one side together.

  5. Position one person at the left to prevent the bookbinder from tipping over.
  6. On the right [A], have two people use the handles to lift the machine, while another person removes the Styrofoam block and then pulls the plastic cover under the machine to the left as far as possible.
  7. Position one person at the right to prevent the bookbinder from tipping over.
  8. On the left [B], have two people use the handles to lift while another removes the Styrofoam block and the plastic cover together.
  9. Pull out the two ramps [A].
  10. Two nails are taped to one of the ramps. Align the holes in the top of each ramp with the holes in the pallet, then insert the nails into the holes to fasten the left ramp [B] and right ramp [C] to the edge of the pallet.
  11. Confirm that:
    • Both ramps are firmly attached to the edge of the pallet with nails [A] and [B].
    • Both ramps extend straight out from the side of the pallet.
    • Area [C] between the ramps is free of obstacles.

    • As the bookbinder is being pulled off the pallet, never step across either of the ramps and place your foot in the area between the ramps [C].

  12. With one person [D] behind the bookbinder gently pushing, and two people in front pulling the bookbinder by the handles [E], slowly move the bookbinder down the ramps.
  13. Once the bookbinder [A] is off the pallet, it can be pushed or rotated on its casters.
  14. Remove the nail from each ramp and reattach the ramps [B] and [C] to the pallet.
  15. Tape the nails [D] to the pallet.
