When your MSD system is delivered, it is your responsibility to
provide for removal of the shipping containers from the truck
and their storage until installation. Contact your Agilent
Technologies service representative as soon as your shipment
arrives to arrange an installation date.
The shipping containers are large and heavy. The largest
container in the shipment is
121.9 cm (48 inches) x 121.9 cm x 121.9 cm. It contains several
smaller cartons that can be removed from the large container
after delivery to facilitate moving them to the location where
the instrument is to be installed. After removing the smaller
cartons and discarding the outer container, the largest
remaining carton, which contains the GC, is approximately:
• 88.9 cm (35 inches) high
• 81.3 cm (32 inches) wide
• 73.7 cm (29 inches) deep
• 60 kg (132 lbs)
All doorways, hallways, floors, and elevators must be able to
accommodate the largest, heaviest container.
Once the shipping containers are unloaded, examine them for
any obvious external damage. If any of the containers appear
damaged, note on the carrier's bill of lading that there is:
Apparent damage - subject to inspection and test. Arrange for
both the carrier's claims representative and your Agilent
Technologies service representative to be present when the
containers are unpacked.
