Unpacking the Processor
If you are unpacking the processor anywhere other than in the final destination, it is
recommended that you keep the internal packing material in place until you move the processor to
the actual installation site. If you do unpack the processor somewhere other than the final
destination, make sure to install any removed parts and pack any loose parts carefully with the
processor for transport.
Make sure that the processor is always upright during transport, storage, and installation.

SKID
Removing the Processor from the Skid
The processor weighs over 200 kg
(442 lb), therefore use 2 people when
installing the LEVELING SCREWS and
moving the processor into position.
The processor is not attached to the
SKID. Use care when moving the
SKID.
[1] Move the processor, on the SKID, as close as
possible to the processor’s final destination.

[3] Remove the processor from the SKID.
To prevent damage to the LEVELING
SCREWS and the processor, do not
allow more than a 25 mm (1 in.)
clearance between the bottom of the
processor and the HEAD of the
LEVELING SCREW.
[4] Install the 4 LEVELING SCREWS.
NOTE
For processors being used on 60 HZ
power, skip the next section on 50 Hz
Operation, and continue with the
section, ‘‘Installing the Light-Tight
Gasket’’ on page 17.

Setting a Processor for 50 Hz Operation
For processors being used on 50 Hz power, do the following:
[1] Remove the BLOWER MOTOR COVER.
[2] Move the BLOWER MOTOR to the inner set of mounting holes, located on the frame of the processor.
[3] Remove the BLOWER MOTOR PULLEY.
[4] Turn the BLOWER MOTOR PULLEY around and install the PULLEY making sure that the larger
diameter end of the PULLEY is mounted toward the BLOWER MOTOR MOUNTING FRAME. See
Figure 9.
[5] Move the DRIVE BELT to the larger diameter part of the BLOWER MOTOR PULLEY.
[6] Adjust the position of the BLOWER MOTOR to obtain the correct tension of the BLOWER DRIVE BELT.
See the Service Manual for the correct procedure.

[7] Check the alignment of the DRIVE BELT. Adjust the PULLEY as necessary. When the processor is
operating, check that this alignment is correct. See Figure 10 on page 15.
[8] Deenergize the processor by moving the MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER, CB1, to the ‘‘O’’ position.
Do not place hands or fingers near the moving parts.
[9] Install the BLOWER MOTOR COVER.
