1.5 UNLOADING THE SILENT GENERATOR™ POWER SYSTEM
The Silent Generator™ Power System is shipped bolted to a pallet via two support brackets which can be used as ramps
to allow the cabinet to roll off the pallet (Fig. #1). It is recommended that a pallet jack be used to move the unit to a
location where the unit can then be removed from the pallet and in close proximity to its final location.
At least two people should be present to unload the cabinet off of the pallet.
1.
Move the Silent Generator™ Power System cabinet as close as possible to the desired operating location with a pallet jack,
remove the packaging protecting the outer cabinet surfaces.
2.
Verify that the locking casters are locked and are not able to spin freely.
3.
Using a 7/16”socket wrench, remove and save the four hex lag screws that secure the cabinet to the pallet.
4.
Using a ½” socket wrench, remove the four bolts that attach shipping brackets to Silent Generator™ System cabinet.
