Installing The Press System - Dukane iq series User Manual

Installing the Press System

The press system consists of a thruster, ergonomic base and
support package. It is assembled at the factory for shipment.
Unpacking
The system has been assembled and packaged at the fac-
tory for shipment. Depending on the system, there may be
multiple crates or boxes to deal with.
Press
The press is secured to a wooden pallet and covered with
a wooden crate. Components inside the crate are secured
with metal bands, and with additional packing materials to
give reinforcement when needed.
Before unpacking the press, take care and use mechanical
assistance to move it close to the location where it will be
installed.
1. Carefully remove the wooden crate from the base to
expose the contents.
2. Remove the packing material, and temporarily set
aside any other system components, leaving the press
on the shipping base.
3. Inspect the assembly for any damage before placing
it in position.
Placement
Do not lift the press by hand. Use mechanical means to put
the press into place.
To place the press on the work area, use a pallet lift platform
or equivalent. Raise the assembly until the bottom edge of
the base is even with the top of the work area as shown in
Figure 3-14. Then, carefully slide the press system on to
the work area.
