Advice on Moving PlateRite 8000II imagesetter to new Building without calling in a Se

[dkkurth]

Just throwing this out there. Has anyone else moved their imagesetter to a different location without the use of a Service Tech coming in? We are moving to a new facility a couple of blocks from our old building. We have in the past had to move the machine due to a flood, and we did not have time to worry about locking down anything such as the drum....etc. We did not have any problems when we moved it back into place after flood cleanup and made sure that it was level. Thought we should do it the right way this time, but everything we have been told by our Service Techs is that we need to have them come in to deinstall and reinstall.. We don't want to pay for the service call if it is something we can do ourselves. We do own our imagesetter.

Thanks
Diane

That is easy! Use the installation part of the service manual. You just have to do everything in reverse . What that means is to lock the movable parts instead of unlocking them. Make sure you will use a pallet and air plastic wrap to move the machine. Keep your service tech future support for later use in case of any possible technical problem during start up.

Hope this will help!

Thank You for your response, but unfortunately we do not have the service manual, just the users manual. I am currently searching for one.

Thanks Again,
Diane
