Step-by-Step Installation:
-
Foundation Preparation:
- Surface Check: Ensure the foundation surface is flat and level.
- Foundation Fixing: Anchor bolts should be installed within the foundation as per provided specifications.
-
Position the Crusher:
- Use heavy machinery like cranes to lift the cone crusher and position it over the foundation.
- Ensure it's aligned correctly with the anchor bolts.
-
Fasten the Cone Crusher:
- Secure the cone crusher using the anchor bolts. Make sure it’s tightly fastened to avoid vibrations during operation.
- Check for the correct torque specifications in the manual.
