Unpacking

Check for damage

Check the equipment for damage before starting assembly and installation. There are
no loose parts in the crate. All parts are either mounted on the system or located in the
accessory kit box. If any damage is found, document the damage, and contact your local
GE Healthcare representative.

Safety Precautions

WARNING

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Whenever packing, unpack-
ing, transporting or moving ÄKTA ready, wear:

•

WARNING

Because of the significant weight of ÄKTA ready, great care must
be taken not to cause squeezing or crushing injuries during
movement. It is recommended that two persons move the system.

WARNING

At least two persons are required to unpack ÄKTA ready gradient!
