Site Considerations

Floor Load
Refer to the Machine Data Sheets (beginning on
Page 4) for the weight and footprint specifications
of your machine. Some floors may require addi-
tional reinforcement to support both the machine
and operator.
Placement Location
Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of
material to be processed through each machine,
and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or
other machinery when establishing a location for
your new machine. See Figures 10–11 for the
minimum working clearances.
