TRANSPORTATION
Before transporting the MCS, make sure the system is switched off and all hydraulic pres
-
sure has been bled from the system. Remove all oil from the reservoir. Always disconnect all
hydraulic and electric connections before attempting to move the MCS unit. After disconnect
-
ing hydraulic hoses re-install the dust covers on quick disconnects as well as hose fittings to
prevent contamination from entering the hydraulic system.
For short on-site distances, always transport the control unit in a cradle or lifting device rated
for the weight of the unit. Secure the unit against tipping over. Move the MCS unit by means of
the lifting eyes attached to the frame or a forklift type vehicle using the side or end fork loca
-
tions. Always move the MCS in an upright position.
For long distance transport, use an appropriately rated forklift and slowly place the MCS into
the shipping container in which the MCS was delivered to the job site. Make certain all addi
-
tional hardware and accessory items are securely stored within the shipping container prior to
shipment.
UNPACKING
When unpacking, make sure the MCS is located on a stable, flat, leveled surface that will sup
-
port the weight of the MCS. Carefully open the shipping container and arrange for its storage.
Save the shipping container as it is re-useable. With a forklift that is rated to safely move the
MCS, slowly remove the MCS from its shipping container. Save the shipping container as it is
re-useable
Once the MCS is removed from the shipping container, locate the MCS on a flat, stable sur
-
face that is sufficient to withstand the weight of the MCS system without deforming the surface
upon which it is resting.
Check the completeness of the Motion Control System:
• Pump unit
• Control unit
• Displacement sensors (contained in two small cases – NOTE: The electrical control unit
cabinet door key is included in one of these cases)
• Sensor cables (contained in one large case)
• Hoses (may not be included as part of the MCS control and may be packaged separately)
• Cylinders (may not be included as part of the MCS control and may be packaged sepa
-
rately)
Check that all components are clean and without visible damage. Cable and hose connection
points should be protected from environmental humidity and dust by protective covers installed
on the unit. Confirm that the covers are in place and should remain in place until unit is ready
to use.
