Putting up knitting machine
Lift the knitting machine with a ground conveyor (e.g. fork lift) and transport it.
In this case the following things have to be taken care of:
- The position of the centre of gravity is indicated on the front crosshead (carriage in left transport position).
- Both the lifting arms of the ground conveyor should be long enough so that the front and the rear crosshead can be lifted.
- Lift and set the machine carefully. Danger of damage if it hits the floor very hard.
Lift the machine only on both the machine feet or on the crossheads.
Setting up knitting machine:
- 1
- Remove the screwing of the knitting machine to the transport base.
