4.3 Uncrating the Equipment
1.
Use a reversing battery powered drill with a Phillips
bit to remove all wood screws from the top of the
crate, then lift off the top. Remove all wood screws
from the side panels of the crate, then remove the
panels. This will expose the HDV300 and cabinet
stand (if ordered) on the pallet base of the crate.
2.
Lift the cabinet stand (if ordered) off the pallet base.
Use at least two people, since the cabinet stand
weighs 150 lbs (70 kg).
The cabinet may contain items
that further increase this weight, so remove these items
first. Bend your knees when lifting heavy items, not your
back.
3.
The metrology unit is secured to the wooden pallet by
four mounting tabs and bolts. Use a crescent wrench to
loosen the nut of each bolt, then remove the nuts. This
will allows the metrology units to be lifted off. Later you
will be able to use a 5 mm Allen wrench to loosen the
mounting tabs and rotate them by 90º so that they no
longer protrude.
4.
To lift the metrology unit, insert two 5-foot (1.2 m) long
sections of 3/4" (20 mm) plumbing pipe through the
mounting holes provided for that purpose at the front
and back of the base, as illustrated. Four people can
then each lift a section of pipe and carry the metrology
unit, which weights over 200 lbs (90 kg).
4.4 Leveling the Cabinet Stand and Metrology Unit
Locate the cabinet stand so that it has a clearance of at least 1 foot (30 cm) on the sides and in the
back for installation and maintenance. The cabinet should be leveled before the metrology unit is
placed on top, and the weight on each the four feet of the cabinet should be made about equal to
avoid deformation of the cabinet under load.
