TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
In order not to cause damages to the distributor, the loading and unloading manoeuvring have to be
performed with particular care. The loading/unloading manoeuvres must be carried out by lifting the machine
with a lifting truck, either motor-driven or manual, and by positioning the forks in the area under the pallet. To
move the machine over short distances, for example inside a premises or office, the pallet need not be used.
Proceed however with maximum caution to prevent damaging the machine. It is always prohibited:
•
To lie the machine down;
•
To turn the distributor upside down;
•
To drag the distributor with ropes or similar;
E
•
To lift the distributor from the side;
N
•
To lift the distributor with whatever sling or rope;
G
•
L
To shake the distributor and its packaging.

As to the storage of the machines, it is appropriate that the environment of conservation is very dry with
temperatures between 0 and +40°C. Cover the machine after having positioned it in a protected environment
and anchor it to prevent it from moving and to avoid accidental knocks.
It is important not to put one packed machine on the other and to maintain the vertical position shown by the
arrows on the packaging itself.
6.2
UNPACKING PROCEDURE
The packing material must be removed carefully to avoid damaging the machine. Inspect inside and outside
the cabinet for any damage. Do not destroy the packing material until the manufacturer's representative has
examined it.
To remove the machine from the pallet, simply loosen the 4 hexagonal-head screws (2 at the back of the
distributor and 2 at the front) which secure the machine base to the pallet and which are reached by opening
the door.
To ensure correct circulation of air in the refrigeration unit, re-install the rear brackets which secure the
vending machine to the pallet, upside down.

TRANSPORT, STORAGE, UNPACKING PROCEDURE
Examine the machine both inside and outside and notify the carrier immediately
of any damage.
It is highly recommended not to lie the machine down as the oil contained in the
compressor could enter the valves and cause irreparable damage when the
compressor is switched on.
In the event that the vending machine is laid flat, place it in an environment with a
temperature no less than 18°C and wait at least 2 hours before setting the
machine at work.
Remember to remove packing materials or equipment inside the vending machine
which could affect the correct function of the machine.
The packing materials must be disposed of respecting the environment and the
laws in force.
When lifting the vending machine, ensure that the supporting feet are removed
from the pallet.
