Warning
Do not remove any of the bolts and brackets that attach the frame to the shipping
skid before the crane has been attached and taken the weight of the frame.
A bracket connected to the crosshead serves to support the weight of the frame during
shipping. If this is removed while the frame is horizontal, the top of the frame can drop
onto the skid, causing damage.
3. Remove the shrink wrap vapor barrier encasing the load frame.
4. Use the packing list to inventory all the boxed items. Some accessories may be in the
container with the load frame or may be packaged separately.
a Do not open any of the packing boxes until the Instron service engineer arrives to
install your testing system. The packing list indicates the total number of boxes
that are included in the shipment. Count the number of boxes you received to
make sure you have the correct number of boxes. This ensures that no parts are
lost prior to installation.
b Do not disassemble or remove any components or parts from any Instron frame
or accessory.
5. Retain all packing materials until the system is satisfactorily installed and all parts,
assemblies and accessories are located.
6. Move the load frame into its operating location using the selected transportation
method. Refer to “Transport floor model frames” on page 66 for additional infor-
mation.
