3-1 Uncrating the Equipment
Choosing Application Site
The location of the machine and site of application must exhibit the characteristics listed
below.
• Enclosed space.
• Sufficient load-bearing capacity. (Find the machine weight in Chapter 7:
Technical Specifications.)
• Machine must be freely accessible from all sides.
• Sufficient available room for operating and service personnel.
• Spatial requirements—refer to the assembly drawing. All hinged parts must be
able to be completely opened.
• Vibration-free surroundings.
• Sufficient lighting.
• Machine may not be exposed to direct radiation of any kind.
• Room temperature must range from 40°F (5°C) to 104°F (40°C).
• Relative atmospheric humidity according to DIN 40040: 15 to 70% (indoor). (In
humidity levels of higher than 70%, apply an anti-corrosive agent to the metallic-
finished machine parts. Insulation for the tropics is also necessary.)
• The machine may not be operated within range of static discharges or strong
magnetic fields—this could lead to faults in the machine’s control system.
Unloading and Installing the Machine
The machine and/or components are packed so they will arrive safely. Use a suitable
crane or forklift for unloading the packaged machine and/or components.
• After unloading the equipment, remove the packaging material and all
transportation safety devices.
• In the case that the shredder and its accessory components have been delivered as
individual items, mount these at the site of application in accordance with the
assembly drawing.
• Align the machine horizontally using a suitable spirit level.
• Do not use blocks to place underneath the machine; use metal strips in order to
prevent buckling of the base frame. Make sure that an even distribution of
weight is achieved on all the points of support.
