Unpack and Move the Platen
Note:
You can move the platen and crosshead assembly with a forklift as long as they’re attached to their
pallets.
Warning:
The load unit is heavy.
The weight of the load unit can seriously hurt you and damage your load unit.
Do not allow the load unit to drop or topple.
Make sure that your chains, slings, and crane have a working capacity greater than the load
unit’s weight.
Make sure that the lifting hoist rings are tight.
Make sure that the crosshead locking bolts are fully tightened.
Lift the load unit only high enough to clear its pallet.
Operate the crane smoothly to prevent breaking shocks to the sling.
1. Remove the pallet’s plywood sheeting if used.
2. Tighten the platen’s four lifting eyes.
3. Remove the lumber and cut the straps that tie the pallet to the platen.
4. Attach the lifting straps to the lifting eyes. Adjust them so each lifts about the same weight.
Keep your straps as straight as possible — do not let them get more than 30° from the vertical.
