Procedure
MTS Exceed™ Series 40 Site Preparation Guide
To unpack and position the load frame:
1. Move the load frame, still in the shipping material, to its final location
within your building. Use a forklift to transport the container to the final
location.,Then unpack the load frame.
2. Remove the shipping material, leaving the load frame fastened to the
shipping skid.
3. Cut the strapping that secures the load frame to the shipping skid.
4. Remove the fixed wood blocks around the machine.
5. Use the packing list to inventory all the items. Accessories may be in the
container with the load frame or may be packaged separately.
Do not open any of the packing boxes. The packing list will indicate the
total number of boxes that are included in the shipment. Count the number
of boxes you received to make sure you have the correct number of boxes.
Do not open these boxes until the MTS service representative arrives to
install your testing system. This ensures that no parts are lost prior to
installation.
6. It is recommended that the frame be moved by at least two people: one to tip
the frame and one to position the pallet jack. Once the frame is on the pallet
jack, one person should operate and move the pallet jack while the other one
steadies the frame. It is also recommended to put something on the forks to
minimize the chance of damage to the frame; for example, a piece of
cardboard or carpet scrap.
7. Tip the frame by blocking the bottom with your foot to keep it from sliding,
then pull the top of the frame towards you to tip it. Do not push on the sheet
metal sides. Tip the frame only as far as necessary to gain clearance to
position the pallet jack underneath; do not tip more than 10° in any
direction.
8. Once the frame is tipped, push the pallet jack under the frame then return the
frame to the upright position resting on top of the pallet jack. Position the
frame on the pallet jack such that it is centered and stable.
