Crate Unpacking & Assembly

~ a field guide for your delivery day ~

Everything you need to safely open the shipping crate, identify the three components, and move them into your clinic — without bruising the equipment (or yourself). Follow the parts in order. The illustrations are your friend.

Before you begin — tick these off ✓

All five tools are on-site and accounted for
At least two people are present (the bed is a two-person lift)
The delivery path from crate → clinic room is clear and measured
Dolly has towels or padding for the tower
Final installation room is ready (power, space, clearance)

02Opening the crate

deconstruct the box, top down

The Crate — what you're working with Anatomy diagram

Steps in order

Remove the corner brackets

Take off the metal brackets at each corner of the crate. These are the first things keeping the structure rigid.

Pry the lid off

Use a chisel or wedge to carefully separate the lid from the body. Work around the perimeter — don't force one corner.

↺ go gently — there's expensive cargo underneath

Cut down the seams

Use the reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade to cut down the seams of the box.

Loosen the timber supports

Chisel or wedge apart the internal timber supports holding the cargo together width-wise.

Finish cutting the supports

Once loose, use the reciprocating saw to finish cutting the timber supports cleanly.

Crate fully open

The crate should now be fully opened and the contents fully accessible.

✓ deep breath — the hard part is done

Remove all protective packaging

Carefully use a pocket knife to remove all wrapping and protective packaging from around the components. → blade away from yourself & the shell, always

03Bringing components inside

three components, in order — lightest to heaviest

The machine ships in three separate components, stacked on the skid inside the crate. Once the crate is open, you'll find them arranged like this:

Remove all plastic wrapping from each component, then move them inside in the order shown below.

Roof Canopy

~ flat overhead slab ~

Lightest of the three
Houses the overhead sensor / camera
Move it inside first

second in

Tower

~ column with computer screen ~

Computer side faces up in transport
Pad the dolly with towels to avoid scratching
Extra parts stored inside the upper computer section

last in

Bed

~ heaviest piece — handle with care ~

Only ever lift from the base
Never lift from the thoracic section
Move it inside last

Tower tip: If you're using a dolly, lay towels or padding underneath before loading the tower — the shell scratches more easily than it looks. Keep the computer side facing upward the whole way in.

Critical — handling the bed

The bed is the heaviest component, and the thoracic section is the most sensitive. Damage here is the most common (and most expensive) install mistake.

✗ DO NOT lift, push, or apply pressure to the thoracic section — ever.

Lift only from the base. If wheeling the bed inside, all force goes through the base. Repeat: only the base.
