Section 4 - Preparation
Step 2 - A packing block assembly rests on top of the power conditioner to secure it tightly inside the packing crate. Remove the packing block assembly by removing the screws that are driven through the crate front and back panels into the ends of the wooden struts. The packing block may now be removed and set to one side.
Step 3 - The front and back panels of the packing crate should be removed next. The front and back panels are secured to the side panels and to the shipping pallet with screws along the edges and bottom of the panels. Remove the screws from one panel at a time. Remove the panels and set them to one side.
Step 4 - The side panels are removed next by removing the screws that secure them to the pallet. Remove the screws from the bottom of the side panels and set the panels to one side.
Step 5 - The power conditioner is attached to the shipping skid with metal bands. Using a metal snips or band cutter, cut the metal bands and remove them from the packing crate.
Step 6 - The power conditioner is wrapped in foam cushion wrap and then enclosed in a protective plastic bag to prevent moisture from entering the enclosure. Remove the outer plastic bag and foam cushion wrap from the power conditioner and dispose of them appropriately.
Depending on the rating, the CPC power conditioner may weigh as much as 3000
pounds (1500 kg.). The next steps involve removing the power conditioner from the 
shipping skid. Carelessness may result in injury.
Step 7 - The power conditioner is now free of the shipping container and bottom pallet/skid. A fork truck with sufficient fork length and height and a minimum rating of two tons may be used to raise the power conditioner a few inches off the bottom pallet.
IMPORTANT ! Never lift the power conditioner with the forklift from the front. Doing so may damage the front bezel. Always lift the power conditioner with the forklift on the side or back.
Once raised clear of the bottom pallet, pull the pallet away from the power conditioner and set it off to the side with the rest of the shipping container panels. The power conditioner is shipped with the threaded leveling feet extended for stability. Retract the leveling feet by turning them in a sufficient number of turns. This will allow the power conditioner to rest on its casters when lowered to the floor. The power conditioner may now be lowered to the floor and the fork lift removed.
Take a few minutes to inspect the unit for any visible damage. If damage is present, contact the carrier for an inspection before proceeding. If no damage is present, move the power conditioner to its installation location on its casters. Once placed into its final position, make sure the unit is leveled and stabilized using the leveling feet.
