Installation and Configuration
Hallway and Door Width Requirements
Verify that all doors, elevators, and passageways en route to the final location are large enough to
allow passage of the crated system. The crated system requires the use of a floor jack or forklift to
engage the pallet and lift the crated system. Consider this when evaluating hallways, doors, and
elevators along the route the system must travel.
If obstacles or lack of space restrict adequate crate movement, remove the system from the pallet
in the receiving area and push it on the cabinet casters to the final destination.
The system is equipped with four rack mounted casters for easy movement throughout the facility.
Due to weight distribution of the instrumentation, the system is most stable during movement when
you push from the front or back of the rack. Avoid side-to-side movement except for final
positioning.
Caution
Deploying the rack from the shipping crate requires moving it in a
back-to-front direction.
Never
stand directly in front of the rack when loading or
unloading from a shipping carton.
