Inspect the item(s):

  • Photograph any damage that may have occurred during shipping.

  • Note any damage on the delivery receipt before signing for the shipment. If there is extensive visible damage to the machine, refuse to accept the shipment.

  • Verify the received goods against the packing list.

If there is any damage or shortages, you must contact Tormach within 30 days of receipt. Create a support ticket with Tormach Technical Support at tormach.com/how-to-submit-a-support-ticket for guidance on how to proceed.

If there are any items that have not yet been delivered, we recommend waiting until you've received all shipments to begin installing the machine. Depending on the product and options ordered, the system may arrive in one or more shipments of:

  • Accessories (if applicable)

  • Machine

NOTE: The machine system and large accessories are sent by freight carrier. Smaller accessories may be sent by parcel service.

Installation Tools and Items

Before uncrating and beginning the initial setup of your machine, collect the following tools and items.

1000-lb capacity engine hoist

NOTE: Make sure that the distance between the engine hoist legs is at least 22 inches.

  • Assistant to help you

  • Metric hex wrench set

  • Pallet jack

  • Pry bar

  • Safety eyewear that meets ANSI Z87+

  • Shears or knife

  • Socket set

  • Step ladder

  • Snips

  • Work gloves

Move the Pallet

Shipments arrive in crates loaded on pallets, which the freight carrier unloads onto the curb or loading dock.

WARNING! Transportation and Lift Hazard: Before moving the machine, you must confirm that all persons are clear of the area below the machine. Qualified professionals must transport, lift, and move the machine. Moving parts can entangle, pinch, or cut you, causing death or serious injury.

Verify that the ground surface is smooth and clean of debris, and then use a pallet jack to move the pallet(s) to the desired installation location.

NOTE: If the ground is not smooth, you may need to use a forklift (or similar lifting equipment rated for uneven surfaces) to move the pallet(s).
