4.
Removing the Packaging Material.
» The cabinet is protected by
extruded polystyrene foam, cardboard and/or shrink-wrap.
» If you find any damage during this stage of unpacking please refer to the
Damaged Freight Claim Information
on our website.
» We recommend leaving the cabinet secured with straps to the pallet until the cabinet is located in its
approximate final position to facilitate ease and safety in handling.
Note: Choosing the best location for your cabinet in order to achieve optimum operating performance
is determined by a number of factors. Please refer to the next chapter for some guidelines.
5.
Moving the Cabinet.
» When lifting the pallet with the cabinet, always ensure that the floor jack or mechanical lift truck has fully
entered under the pallet. This is to increase the stability of the cabinet and reduce the risk of the cabinet
falling down. Please use a suitable extension bar when necessary. During the moving of the cabinet,
ensure there is enough distance between the supports of the pallet and the ground. Dragging the pallet
against the ground will damage the pallet and possibly your new cabinet.
» When removing cabinet from pallet or placing cabinet onto pallet, use at least two people.
6.
Removing the Strapping.
» Remove the strapping by cutting it at a safe position to prevent any scratching the surface of your new
cabinet.
» Do not discard the packaging material for your cabinet until you have checked all of the components, installed
and tested the unit.
7.
Lifting the Cabinet.
» The cabinet can be lifted in two sections: The HEAD unit and ENCLOSURE.
» Install the cabinet on the existing work surface or Cole-Parmer support stand (if ordered).
Note:
» When installing the cabinet onto an existing work surface, ensure that the structure can safely support the
combined weight of the cabinet and any related equipment. Some modifications to the work surface may be
necessary.
» The work surface should be smooth, non-porous and resistant to the disinfectants and chemicals used
in conjunction with the cabinet.
