Review this entire page before installing the high / low profile guard.
Consult the factory in the event there are any questions or problems at the time of installation, or for information
regarding optional features not covered by the owner’s manual.
The high / low profile guard must be removed from the shipping wood and securely anchored to the floor before use!
• Modifications or additions to the high / low profile guard without prior manufacturer’s authorization may void the high /
low profile guard’s warranty. The addition of ancillary equipment to the high / low profile guard may necessitate that
its load capacity be reduced.
• The installation must be made so that it complies with all the regulations applicable to the machine and its location.
The end-user must verify that the supplied equipment is installed so it will be suited to the environment in which it will
be used.
• Suitably trained personnel that have access to the appropriate equipment must perform installation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For a typical installation of a standard high / low profile guard you will need the following:
1. A fork truck or hoisting means to unload the high / low profile guard from the freight truck and set it into place.
2. A smooth, level, and adequately strong concrete surface on which to mount the high / low profile guard.
3. Concrete anchors, a masonry drill, a masonry bit, hand tools, grout, and steel shims. Consult the building’s architect or
facility engineer to determine the best size and type of hardware with which to anchor the machine to the floor.
To install a standard high / low profile guard:
1. Move the high / low profile guard into place with straps or forks placed around it.
2. Anchor the frame to the floor through the 1” holes located on the bottom plate.
3. Clean up any debris, and verify that all of the safety labels are in good condition.
Note: See Installing Masonry Anchors section for instillation Guidelines.
