11 TRANSPORT, PACKING and STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Disconnect power and sterilize the bench before doing any of following
operations.
The following instructions will be essential if the end user needs to transport, pack or store a cabinet after a period of
routine use (e.g. laboratory/plant relocation):
-
Disconnect tubes for gas/vacuum
-
If the cabinet is to be moved from one laboratory to another within the same building:
-
on a table with wheels: it is sufficient to put the cabinet on the table; do not place it on one side or on the
back panel.
-
by a forklift: put the cabinet on a pallet to ensure good stability and to protect the basin under the cabinet
against damage in transport.
It is important to check if the assembled cabinet can get through the doorway, elevator or anything else without any
problem. In case the cabinet overall dimensions are greater than doorways or anything else (which usually
happens), is necessary to dismantle the cabinet in three sections:
[1] main unit
[2] work surface
[4] safety glass side panels
[21, 22, 23] shutter, slide guide and stirrup for shutter hooking
For disassembling operations please refer to chapter 10 - "Assembling and Disassembling Instructions"
Take care not to damage protruding parts (e.g.: key switch, gas/vacuum taps, exhaust duct when passing through
doors/windows
If the cabinet is kept temporarily unused at final destination, cover the cabinet with a protective film (bubble cover)
taking care to protect also the exhaust duct, especially from dust.
We recommend extreme caution in long-distance moving carried out by forwarding agents (e.g. change of address):
we suggest that you use the original packaging supplied by the manufacturer with the cabinet. Packaging
