Unpacking and installation:
The Apex 400 press is shipped in a wooden crate with
a special pallet base.
•
Loosen the screws and lift away the top and sides of the crate.
•
Locate the lifting "eye bolt (p1)" which is affixed to the bottom
of the pallet and screw it into the hole on the top of the press.
•
After removing the top and sides of the crate, use a crane or
hoist fitted with a lifting hook to lift the press from the pallet
(p2). For example, an Engine Hoist or Powered hand truck can
be used. Either transfer directly to the workbench or onto a
scissor lift trolley for transportation to the work site.
CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIFT THE PRESS BY ANY OTHER METHOD. DO NOT USE A PIPE OR BAR THROUGH THE
LIFTING EYE. DO NOT USE THE HANDLE ON THE FRONT TO LIFT THE PRESS.
•
The press should be installed on a stable and level bench worktop, with a minimum thickness of 25m. An ordinary
electrical consumer outlet is required nearby to provide power to the press.
