OPERATION MANUAL Postmaster - 6000

Introduction

This manual is made for the users of the Postmaster - 6000. The purpose of this manual is to give

guidelines to operators and administrators using the Postmaster - 6000.

In this manual you find amongst others information about safety, test procedures and how to

operate the system. There is much more about the system than what is descripted in this document

and its components. The right use of the system and its components will increase the benefits you

derive from using it but also minimize the risks by avoiding hazardous situations.

This document is made as a supporting tool for operators using the Postmaster-6000. There might be

incomplete or incorrect information mentioned in this document and we therefore continuously are

working to improve this document. Any comments from your end are very welcome in that matter.

Please ensure that you are working in a safe environment and use the machine in the right matter.
