Removing the Platesetter

Handle all packing materials with care. These materials will be used again if you need to transport the platesetter in the future.

Use only the Fork lift to lift the shipping container and place it at the unpacking site. Make sure that the container is lifted only from the Front side, as indicated by the label on the packaging.

Before you begin unpacking the platesetter, ensure that the unpacking site is large enough to allow easy maneuvering of the platesetter.

For example, check the following:

• Available space for the Fork lift to lower the platesetter from the shipping pallet
• Doorway clearance for the platesetter and Fork lift

Checking for Damage

Check that the shipping container is undamaged. Do not proceed with the unpacking if it is damaged in any way and notify the shipping agent immediately.

Precautions

Observe the following precautions before unpacking:

• Do not unpack the platesetter in extreme heat or cold (above 30°C or below 0°C).
• If there are any signs of ice on the machine, do not touch any of the mechanical parts. Wait 24 hours (preferably 48 hours) for the platesetter to gradually reach room temperature.
• Do not unpack the platesetter in a non-conditioned room in case the weather is very humid.

Parts Checklist

For parts list, see the PCL and GCL forms attached to the Lotem packaging.
