Skid Removal
Introduction
To Remove the Bravo™
from the Skid
2-26
The system is mounted on wooden planks and bolted to a wooden skid. Bolts are
installed in the existing levelling foot locations to secure the metal shipping plates
to the underside of the system frame. Refer to Figure 2–4. Bolts are then inserted
through the mounting holes in the skid, through the foam pads, through the
planks, then through the mounting holes on the shipping plates. They are retained
with jam nuts to secure the system in place on the skid.
• Use a ¾ in. socket wrench and ratchet to remove the two (2) jam nuts from
each of the bolts from the top side of the wooden planks. Refer to Figure 2–
5.
• When all jam nuts are removed from the shipping plates, carefully position a
fork lift, with the fork extensions at their widest setting, under the frame.
Make sure that the forks make proper contact with the base beams to avoid
damage to the wiring and metal panels underneath the machine.
• With the fork lift in place at the rear of the machine, carefully raise the sys-
tem off the skid high enough to remove the shipping plates and bolts, secur-
ing them to the system frame. Refer to Figure 2–6. Note that the center of
gravity of the Bravo™ 8105 is slightly toward the Load End of the system.
CAUTION
Extend the forks to the maximum width to minimize the risk of tilting the system
off the end of the forklift. To avoid damage, lift the system via the two frame
supports located under the system cabinet adjacent to the leveling pads.
• Use a 1½ in. socket with ratchet to remove the bolts.
• Proceed with installing the leveling feet.
