InstallatIon
There are no operator serviceable parts to the
machine other than periodic cleaning. Refer to the
Operator Maintenance chapter.
WARNING: A trained GBC Technician MUST
install the laminator for the rst time. Failure to
observe this warning could result in severe bodily
injury or death.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to install the laminator
yourself for the rst time. You could damage the
machine.
To prepare the site for the laminator for the first
time:
1. Allow enough room to access all sides of the
laminator. Refer to the illustration on the next
page.
2. Ensure the floor is stable and a flat surface
capable of supporting the weight of the machine
and any materials. All four castors should be
able to be positioned completely on a level and
smooth surface.
prIorto InstallatIon
Inspect the crate and laminator for damage. Shipping
damage should be brought to the immediate
attention of the delivering carrier.
WARNING: Do not attempt to move the
laminator across anything other than a at, level
surface without trained and qualied riggers. You
can be severely injured or crushed.
The SPIRE Series is a large and heavy piece of
equipment. It is necessary to employ licensed
riggers only to move the laminator. The laminator is
not designed to be tipped up or tipped sideways in
anyway.
Page 4-1
locatIon
Provide adequate space around the laminator as
shown in the illustration.
The laminator should be located so that exiting lm
drops freely to the oor or to a table that is lower
than the exit point of the laminator. Accumulation of
laminate immediately behind the laminator as it exits
the equipment may cause the lm to wrap around the
rollers, jamming the machine.
Avoid locating the laminator near sources of heat or
cold. The laminator should not be in the direct path
of forced heated or cooled air.
