Procedure

1.Move the shipping pallet to a firm, level surface in an open area. Inspect for visible signs of shipping damage. If you detect shipping damage, contact APC Customer Support using the contact information on the back cover of this manual.

2.See the label on the packaging to determine where to cut the wrapping. Using sturdy shears or a utility knife, carefully remove the plastic stretch wrap surrounding the enclosure.

3.Remove the four cardboard corner protectors.

4.Remove and retain the two pallet-mounting brackets with mounting hardware that anchor the enclosure to the shipping pallet. Use a 13-mm wrench (not provided).

Note: Save the pallet-mounting brackets if you plan to bolt the enclosure to the floor.

5.With one person on each side of the enclosure, carefully roll it toward the rear of the pallet until the rear casters clear the back edge of the pallet. Continue to slide the enclosure until the rear casters touch the floor.

6.While one person carefully tips the enclosure slightly away from the pallet, have the other person pull the pallet away from the enclosure. Set the enclosure gently on its casters.

Warning: Use caution when moving an empty enclosure on its casters; the enclosure may be unstable when pushed or pulled from the side. Push the enclosure from the front or back when moving it on its casters. For extra stability, load 158 kg (350 lbs) of equipment into the bottom of the enclosure before moving it on its casters.
