Section 4 Installation
GBC Pro-Tech is committed to a program of
ongoing product improvement. As a result, we are
providing these instructions so that you can insure that
your new Falcon 160 Laminator is properly and
securely unpacked, moved, and installed.
Before a Falcon 160 Laminator can be
installed, there are a few requirements that must be
met. Make certain that each of the requirements
listed in the following pre-installation checklist are met
before beginning installation.
CAUTION
Failure to follow the pre-installation check
list can result in damage to the laminator.
4.1 Pre-installation
A r e d o o r w a y s a n d h a l l w a y s w i d e e n e o u g h f o r
the laminator to be moved to the installation
site?
I s t h e r e a m p l e r o o m f o r t h e l a m i n a t o r ?
A work area must be established that allows
for operation in both the front and rear of the
laminator and provides space for efficient
material flow. Figure 4.1.1 illustrates a typical
machine area layout.
Is the environment appropriate for the
laminator? The laminator requires a clean, dust
and vapor free environment to operate
properly. It must not be located where there is
air blowing directly on the machine.
Have you contacted a certified electrician to
both wire the laminator and ensure that
adequate power is being supplied, having the
appropriate capacity, over current protection
and safety lockouts are available.
W A R N I N G
The operating environment must be free of
dust, flammable liquids and vapors. You can
be injured by inhaling chemical vapors.
W A R N I N G
Vapor build up or stored flammable liquids
can cause a fire. Excessive dust can damage
the laminator.
CAUTION
Do not locate the laminator where air is
blowing directly on the machine. The air
flow can cool the rolls unevenly and result in
poor quality output.
