Shipment and installation
4.1. Shipment
Delivery ex works
Step feeders are delivered ex works in wooden crates.
On-site moving
For handling the step feeder you need a fork lift truck or suitable lifting equipment to move the step feeder to its place
of installation.
Note that the step feeders are always bolted to the base plate of the crate or pallet.
When lifting the step feeder always attach the lifting gear to the base frame, never to the cabinet or any mounted com-
ponents. For handling we recommend using a forklift and placing the forks underneath the base plate. Position the
forks in relation to the levelling feet such as to prevent tilting of the step feeder.
Attention
Check all guards when unpacking. Replace any damaged parts before commissioning!
4.2. Connecting the motor
Have a professional electrician connect the motor in accordance with the circuit diagram (see chapter 1). After that,
check the sense of rotation.
Attention
Provide suitable overload protection for the motor. The characteristics of the motor can be found on its rat-
ing plate.
Caution
Motor protection breakers supplied unfitted must not be installed upside down as this would disable their
protective function. Be sure to install the circuit-breakers in the specified orientation.
4.3. Installation
Attention
It is absolutely mandatory to anchor the supporting substructure to the foundation. Operation of unan-
chored equipment is not permitted!
