How to Move a Portable Dyer or Processor
This tutorial covers essential tips on how to safely handle and move dryers and processors mounted on stands, specifically focusing on the 1433 model. You’ll learn how to properly move these machines, ensure correct assembly, and avoid common mistakes that can cause damage or malfunction.
1. Understanding the Correct Assembly
-
Check Hood Orientation:
Ensure that the hood is positioned over the wide part of the stand’s legs. This is where the weight distribution is balanced. If your machine is assembled differently, it may not be set up correctly. -
Ensure Proper Bolt Placement:
The chrome shaft should not rotate. If it does, check if the small bolt holding it in place is missing. The shaft should only move up and down, and not spin.
2. Moving the Dryer or Processor
-
Use the Handles:
Both the dryer and processor are equipped with handles designed for moving. Always use these handles to lift and relocate the unit to avoid damaging the hood. Never attempt to move the unit by gripping the hood itself. -
Prevent Tipping:
Keep in mind that these machines are top-heavy, especially when moving over uneven surfaces. If you encounter an obstacle or hit the floor wrong, the machine may tip over. Be careful to support the bottom when shifting.
3. Handling the Processor
-
Head Orientation:
The processor’s head should also be oriented over the wide part of the stand for optimal stability. Just like the dryer, make sure it doesn’t rotate—only the head should move up and down. -
Avoid Moving by the Wrong Parts:
Never move the processor by the two knobs or handles that may get hot during use. The processor is not designed to be moved by these parts.
4. General Tips for Longevity
- Use Careful Handling:
By following these guidelines, you ensure that both your dryer and processor last a long time. Always be mindful of how you move them, as improper handling can lead to malfunctions or damage.
By adhering to these steps, you can properly assemble, use, and maintain your dryer and processor on stands, helping them perform effectively and last longer.
