4 Installation
4.1 Handling & Transport
• Box all additional parts and secure with the machine
• Using a single fork truck, lift the machine package underneath using the forklift spaces
provided
• Once on the truck, tightly strap the machine.
• Do not place any loads on top of the machine
• The machine should be kept free from road grime and rain, and should be covered at all
times while being transported
The Frame Nailer will be delivered in large component form and will require assembly on site by
trained personnel. Due care and attention should be given whilst unpacking the components from
their packaging materials. Any damage caused whilst in transit should be noted immediately and
Spida Machinery informed. Refer to section 3 specifications for weights of individual components
when selecting Manual Handling Equipment required, prior to positioning them on the selected site.
4.2 Installation
• It is advisable to forklift the machine package as close to the final assembly point as possible
to reduce manual lifting
• The final operating position of the machine must be free from any rubbish or impediments
• There must be good lighting in the installation area to allow proper positioning of the
machine
• The ground on which the machine rests must not vary by more than 30mm over a 12m x 5m
area
• The Frame Nailer should be leveled using jacking bolts on steel jacking plates. Once level,
machine should be bolted to the floor through holes provided.
• Electrical commissioning to be to local standards and be performed by a qualified electrician
The site selected for the Frame Nailer will depend on the ground. The ground chosen should be
clean and free of water or possible flooding. The area on which the framework sits must be as even
and horizontal as possible. This can be achieved by adjusting the length of the feet. There should be
no twist to the framework once the feet have been adjusted to take the ground
into account.
The final operating position of the machine should be free of all rubbish or impediments, with
general access to all areas of the Frame Nailer for the ease of loading and unloading material of
varying sizes.
With the machine in position, a qualified engineer should be used to connect the pneumatic
components to the machine and adjust the air pressure to the required setting (refer to 3
Specifications for pressure settings)
9 Operations Manual – Gen III Fast Framer (Frame Nailer)
Check all pneumatic hoses and connectors to ensure that the fittings haven’t worked loose during
transportation of the machine. Re-tighten all fittings that appear to be leaking. If leaking persists
undo the fittings and apply a sealing compound to the joints in question. Re-tighten the fitting. (Any
serious leaking problems during the warranty period should be reported to Spida Machinery). Check
the air pressure in the system is sufficient to operate the machine (refer to 3 Specifications for
pressure settings).
To check the air pressure, turn the compressor on and allow the pressure to build up. When the
controls are activated, normal pressure should read 6-8 bar or 600- 800 kPa. All maximum pressures
are factory set and should not be changed.
Check that all safety equipment is functioning properly.
