4.1 Unpacking
- Remove all packaging materials, including the polystyrene base and any protective films.
- Important: Locate and remove all transport bolts from the rear of the machine. Failure to do so will cause severe vibration and damage during operation. Keep the bolts for future transport.
4.2 Positioning
