Upon receipt of the machine, you will position it in the most suitable area for you. Consideration will need to be made for the machine height, door opening, closed loop system, if used (access to a suitable drain if not), side-load station (if so equipped) and rear access for future maintenance. Recirculating (closed loop) tanks are best positioned directly under the machine overflow but short lengths of PVC pipe with as few bends as possible mean the tank can be positioned somewhat clear of the machine.
If using a spherical media such as glass bead it is recommended to put anti-fatigue mats down where the operator will be walking. The mat will minimise slip hazards and increase operator comfort.
