• Carefully remove the cardboard outer shell by cutting the retaining straps then removing

the top and then the side panels.

• Inspect the machine carefully for any hidden shipping damage. Notify the shipping

company right away if any damage is observed.

smaller table top machines. However an approved fork lift will be required for the larger

SC and DC models.

• Wipe down the outside of the machine.

Promax /Promarks chamber style vacuum packaging machines are available in three basic

designs, TC (Table Top), SC (Free Standing Single Chamber) and DC (Double Chamber).

Recommendations for the movement of all three types are listed below.

TC Machines: Some of the smallest TC units may be lifted off of their wooden skid and moved

manually. However Promax /Promarks recommends that moving even the smallest of their TC

units should not be attempted by one person. The larger TC units should be lifted with the aid of

a fork lift or other approved lifting aid. Prior to lifting with a forklift the forks should be adjusted

to a width that provides the machine with stable support. The proper lifting point for TC machines

is to place the

forks so they come in contact with the units rubber feet located on the bottom of the

machine.

SC Machines: All SC units should be lifted from their wooden skid and moved to the location

where they will be used with an approved fork lift. Be sure to take note of the points listed below.

DC Machines: All DC units should be lifted from their wooden skid and moved to the location

where they will be used with an approved fork lift. Be sure to take note of the points listed below.

* Make sure the fork lift forks are properly adjusted for width and use fork extensions if needed.

* Make sure to ascertain the center of gravity and use identified lifting points.
