Notice: If you have purchased installation from Mopec your installer will cover section 3
3.1 How to unpackage your workstation
3.1.1 Check for freight damage:
• If the unit has sustained damage during transit or unloading from the carrier now is the time to file a freight
claim.
Many large institutions use their own carriers. A freight claim would be filed with that provider.
• Check for damage to the skid that would result in an unsupported or twisted station.
• Check that the sides of the crate have not been punctured or smashed.
• Check that the top of the crate has not sustained damage or has evidence of being placed upside down.
• Take photographs of any damage and contact Mopec or your private freight carrier if applicable.
3.1.2 Uncrating Contents:
• Remove the top boards from the crate. Place in a dumpster or out of the way to dispose of later. Watch for
staples, nails, and slivers of wood.
• Remove the sideboards, end boards, and plywood from the crate.
• Remove the corner posts of the crate. Pull downward and then sideways to break away from the base.
• Remove all the bracing at the bottom of the skid. Note the small 2”x 4” (5cm x 10cm) blocks nailed to
prevent the unit from moving.
• Carefully cut the plastic wrap so the unit is not scratched, and the components are not damaged.
• Unwrap the plastic wrap and foam from the unit.
• Cut and remove the metal banding material securing the unit.
• Look the unit over for hidden damage. If found, take photos, and contact Mopec.
• Remove any optional equipment from the sink, under the sink, or behind the doors (if so equipped).
• Ensure all plumbing and wiring are secured and up and out of the way before moving the unit.
3.1.3 Removing Unit from Skid:
• Ensure there is plenty of room to work around the unit.
• Tip the unit forward to retract the back leveling feet to allow the unit to slide on the crate floor.
• Tip the unit back to retract the front leveling feet to allow the unit to slide on the crate floor.
• Slide the unit back a little more than half off the skid, and tilt back until the bottom edge is resting on the
floor. Tip the unit back a little farther so the skid can be pulled out from under the unit.
• Then gently put the unit upright on its base, making sure not to drop the unit.
