2.4 Unloading the Cabinet(s)
The following tools are required for unloading the cabinet(s):
Wrenches for 3/8” lag bolts.

The cabinets are heavy (see
Table 2

people to safely remove the cabinets from the pallet.
To remove the Transformer Cabinet from the ship pallet:
1.
Make sure the forklift is rated for the cabinet weight.
2.
Make sure the path traveled has sufficient support for the combined weight of the
forklift and the cabinet.
3.
Make sure forks are at maximum separation.
4.
Use a very strong ratchet strap (or similar device) of sufficient strength to tie the
upper part of the cabinet to the forklift tower before moving.
5.
Keep people out of the fall zone. If the cabinet topples over, stand clear
6.
With a Phillip’s screwdriver, remove the two kick panels. These will be remounted
when the cabinet is in place.
7.
Remove all banding, wrapping and foam protection.

Remove the six 3/8” lag bolts securing the cabinet to the pallet. See
Figure 2

Slide the pallet completely away from the raised cabinet.
