Procedure
To unpack and position the load frame:
1. Move the load frame, still in the shipping material, to its final location
within your building. Use a forklift to transport the container from the
shipping dock to the final location. Unpack the load frame after it has been
moved to its final location.
2. Remove the shipping material, leaving the load frame fastened to the
shipping skid.
3. Remove the shrink wrap vapor barrier encasing the load frame.
4. Cut the strapping that secures the load frame to the shipping skid.
5. Remove the fixed wood blocks around the machine.
6. Use the packing list to inventory all the items. Accessories may be in the
container with the load frame or may be packaged separately.
Do not open any of the packing boxes. The packing list will indicate the
total number of boxes that are included in the shipment. Count the number
of boxes you received to make sure you have the correct number of boxes.
Do not open these boxes until the MTS service representative arrives to
install your testing system. This ensures that no parts are lost prior to
installation.
7. Mount the M16 hoist ring to the top beam of the frame column.
8. Use the crane to slowly and carefully lift the frame clear of the wooden
pallet, and place it in its operating position.
9. Retain all packing materials until the system is satisfactorily installed and all
parts, assemblies, and accessories have been located.
When the frame is in its operating location, you can proceed with the installation
process.
