Unpacking and Repacking

Unpacking the Product
®
Your Therm-O-Flow heated drum unloading system
was carefully packaged for shipment by Graco. When
the package arrives, perform the following procedure
to unpack the units:
1. Inspect the shipping box carefully for shipping
damage. Contact the carrier promptly if damage is
discovered.
2. Unseal the box and inspect the contents carefully.
There should not be any loose or damaged parts
in the box.
3. Compare the packing slip against all items in-
cluded in the box. Any shortages or other inspec-
tion problems should be reported immediately.
4. Remove the unit from the skid and place it in the
desired location (See Selecting a Location for
the Ram).
5. Store the box and packing materials in a safe
place for future use. Graco recommends that all
packing materials be saved in case the unit needs
to be shipped again.
When selecting a location for the ram, keep the follow-
ing in mind:
1. There should be sufficient space for installing and
using the equipment.
D
Make sure there is sufficient overhead clear-
ance for the pump and ram when the ram is in
the fully raised position [approximately 110
inches (280 cm)].
D
If you are installing a vent hood, make sure
there is sufficient horizontal clearance for it.
D
Make sure the air regulators for the pump and
ram are fully accessible, with room to stand
directly in front of the ram air control box and
the electrical control box.
D
Make sure there is easy and safe access to an
appropriate electrical power source. The
National Electrical Code requires 3 feet (0.9 m)
of open space in front of the electrical panel.
