moved, and temporarily stored, in case any of the system com-
ponents must be returned to the factory.
1. Remove the Shipping Bands - Using appropriate precau-
tions, carefully cut the plastic shipping bands.
2. Removing the Plastic Wrap - Using care to not damage the
surface of the Power Array, cut off the plastic wrap by running
the tip of a sharp utility knife along the surface of one of the
cardboard corner supports. Remove the plastic wrap from
the frame.
3. The Pallet Ramp - The pallet ramp is shipped under the
cardboard cap, on top of the frame. It will sometimes become
wedged inside the cardboard cap. Use caution removing this
cap from the frame. Remove the ramp from the top of the
frame.
4. Corner Supports - When the cardboard cap is removed,
the four corner supports will fall away. Remove them, and
place to one side.
5. Remove the Cover Grills - Remove the grill covers from the

molded into them. Pull straight forward. Set the covers to one
side. Be careful not to scratch them.
6. Leveling Feet - Fully retract each of the four leveling feet
located near the casters on the bottom of the frame.
