Unpack dual column frames
Before moving the load frame, review the following sections:
•
“Site requirements” on page 25 .
•
“Transport dual column frames” on page 55 .
1. Move the load frame, still in the shipping material, to its final location within your
building. Use a forklift (or crane) to transport the frame from the shipping dock to the
final location. Unpack the load frame after it has been moved to its final location.
After unpacking the load frame, it may be necessary to position the frame into its
operating location. Do not remove the wooden skid until you decide which method
will be used to move the frame to its operating location. The skid is required if you
choose to lift the frame from under the base.
2. Remove the shipping material, leaving the load frame fastened to the shipping skid.
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.
