Ending Up The Shipping Clips - Mendota ML39 Assembly, Installation And Operating Instructions

4.6 BENDING UP THE SHIPPING CLIPS
Once the unit is detached from the pallet by removing the securing lag screws that hold these shipping clips to the pallet, either
bend these clips up 90-degrees or break them off using a screw driver and back and forth cold working motion (see below). A
bending relief is provided within the clip to ease bending or breaking. Bending the shipping clips up or removing them will be
necessary for Fireplace units which are to be installed in narrow width or shallow depth openings.
To bend the clips up or to break them off, follow these procedures:
1. Fireplace the tip of a flat screw driver (longer screw driver is better) under the clip.
2. Lift screw driver handle upwards and bend the clip up about 45-degrees.
3. Remove screw driver. Fireplace screw driver tip into one hole in clip. Lift screw driver up. To break clip off, repeat up down
motion of screw driver seven to eight times.
