To place the sander in a permanent location:
1. Unbolt the sander from the pallet.
2. Position the forklift forks directly above the

Use lifting straps with a combined minimum
of 1500 lbs. lifting capacity. If lifting straps

is necessary to clear the floor.

floor, causing a tripping hazard if you decide
to move your machine at a later point.
