2.2 Unpacking the System
If you are reading this, you have already located the Operator’s Manual. This part
provides instructions on how to continue to unpack the system safely.
Warning! The instrument weighs approximately 55 pounds and should be lifted with
care. It is recommended that two persons lift the instrument together, taking the proper
precautions to avoid injury.
Each FlexStation II instrument comes in five specially designed shipping cartons.
•
Fluidics module and accessories
•
Detection module (main instrument body) in housing
•
Personal computer
•
Computer monitor
•
SOFTmax PRO software package
Please retain the cartons, all boxes, and any significant packing materials. If the system
needs to be moved to a different location, use the original packing materials and cartons
whenever possible. If the cartons have been damaged in transit, it is particularly
important that you retain them for inspection by the carrier in case there has also been
damage to the instrument.
As you unpack the system pieces, examine the packing list that accompanies the system
to be sure all items are present.
