RSC Instrument
Note:
If you do not have the original Maxwell
®
RSC Instrument packaging, please contact Promega
Technical Services or your local Promega representative to order Maxwell
®
RSC Instrument packaging.
Ship the Maxwell
®
RSC Instrument only with Promega packaging to avoid any damages.
1. Turn the instrument OFF and unplug it from the outlet.
2. Open the instrument door and manually push the deck to the back of the instrument.
3. Manually bring the plunger bar (Figure 66) down to cover the magnetic tips.
Figure 66. Plunger Bar.
4. Place the die cut foam as shown in Figure 7.
5. Slide the other die cut foam to lock the deck and the plunger bar as shown in Figure 7. You may have
to manually move the plunger bar so that it is flush with the foam. The two die cut foams prevent
the plunger bar and deck from moving during shipping. Note that the instrument door will not close
completely with the foam in place. This is by design. Do not try to force the door to close, or the door
can break.
6. Place the instrument back in the plastic bag.
