Unpacking the machine:
Machines are delivered from our works on pallets, strapped and protected with cardboard. First of all,
the packaging must be examined and any damage caused in transit must be declared directly to the
carrier.
A. Remove the cardboard and the packaging bag from the machine.
B. Remove straps, taking particular care when they are released by cutting.
C. Detach the machine from its pallet by removing the wooden battens wedging the castors.
D. Take the machine off the pallet. Make sure you do this with at least two people in order to
lower it as gently as possible onto the floor.
E. Please fit the adjustable bagger stop to the bagger (fig.10, n°20).
After unpacking your machine, check that it has not been damaged in transit. Notify
us of any defects.
