To remove the Main Housing Chassis or Inverter Assembly from the shipping container, grasp the handles located on each side of the housing or inverter (Figure 1), and remove the item from the container. Inspect each for: dents, scratches, broken or missing wheels (housing only), warpage of the top cover, or other signs of damage. If either unit is damaged, please notify the factory and obtain a Return Material Authorization number and return the unit as/if instructed. If there are no obvious signs of damage, repackage the unit for shipment to the customer using the materials already removed from the shipping container. Ship or otherwise deliver the unit to the customer location.
