Unpacking the crates

1. Inspect all delivered crates and boxes. These will normally be located in the customer's loading dock area.

• Check that all the shipped crates have been received.
• Check that the toolkit crate is still locked.
• Check any shock watches on the outside of crates. They should be white, not red.
• Look for signs of damage from moisture, improper packing, tipping, dropping, stacking, etc. of crates, or any sign of mishandling.

2. Record any problems immediately on the Installation Report form and report them to both Creo and the Delivery Company.
   
3. If space is tight, consider the best sequence in which to install the components before starting to unpack the crates.

Note:  Do not clutter the workspace.

4. Unpack the conveyor first.

7. Unpack the Trendsetter VLF.

1. Open the crate to allow access to the front and rear of the machine.
2. Remove all packages from the crate and put most of them on the conveyor's foam pad or in a cassette (if ordered):

• guard rail assemblies (2) including base plates and struts
