2-6 Uncrating
GP1200 Series Granulator
Retain the crating material for reshipping the granulator in case hidden
- 14 -
GP1200 Series granulators are shipped mounted on a wooden
skid then blocked and banded to prevent movement. All non-
painted items subject to corrosion are coated with a quality rust
preventative and the machine is then covered with heavy duty
polyethylene to protect it from moisture and dirt.
AEC granulators are normally shipped completely assembled
unless the size of the machine or an agreement for special
shipping arrangements causes partial disassembly.
If inspection revealed no shipping damage, unpack the unit by
removing the polyethylene covering and banding. For detailed
uncrating information, follow the instructions listed below:
1. Remove the nails holding the box to the skid and lift the
box off carefully, avoiding staples in the 1' x 4' wood
supports. Cut steel banding.
2. Use a pry bar to remove the blocks securing the unit to the
skid.
3. Insert forks between skid and granulator from the side
(guard side) until they protrude beyond the opposite side
of the unit. The forks must be equidistant from the
centerline of the unit and the unit must be balanced on the
forks.
4. Lift the unit off the skid with a fork truck. Lift slowly and
only high enough to clear the skid. Use a pry bar if
necessary to carefully remove the skid from the unit.
5. Lower slowly. The unit should land on its casters or rails
and can then be moved into position.
6. Temporary hardware has been installed to prevent side
panels from shifting in transit. Remove hardware.
Important!
shipping damage is found.
