Unpacking

This machine was carefully packaged for safe
transport. When unpacking, separate all enclosed
items from packaging materials and inspect them
for shipping damage. If items are damaged,
please call us immediately at (570) 546-9663.
IMPORTANT: Save all packaging materials until
you are completely satisfied with the machine and

shipping agent. You MUST have the original pack-
aging to file a freight claim. It is also extremely
helpful if you need to return your machine later.
