Chapter 3 - Unpacking and Installing Frame
Remove Packing Materials
Note: It is recommended that all packaging materials be re- moved, and temporarily stored, in case any of the system com- ponents must be returned to the factory.
1.Remove the Shipping Bands - Using appropriate precau- tions, carefully cut the plastic shipping bands.
2.Removing the Plastic Wrap - Using care to not damage the surface of the Power Array, cut off the plastic wrap by running the tip of a sharp utility knife along the surface of one of the cardboard corner supports. Remove the plastic wrap from the frame.
3.The Pallet Ramp - The pallet ramp is shipped under the cardboard cap, on top of the frame. It will sometimes become wedged inside the cardboard cap. Use caution removing this cap from the frame. Remove the ramp from the top of the frame.
4.Corner Supports - When the cardboard cap is removed, the four corner supports will fall away. Remove them, and place to one side.
5.Remove the Cover Grills - Remove the grill covers from the frame. Grasp each grill cover by the side finger hold that is molded into them. Pull straight forward. Set the covers to one side. Be careful not to scratch them.
6.Leveling Feet - Fully retract each of the four leveling feet located near the casters on the bottom of the frame.
