Before You Start
Do not cut open
The crate is designed to be opened from the top. Never cut into it, as a blade can reach the instrument inside. Cut only the outer wrap and the securing strips.
Two-person lift
Two people are needed to lift the VideometerLab off the pallet. Agree on the route and the destination surface before you lift.
Instrument weight
The instrument is heavy and top-shaped for handling with two hands. The exact weight is stated on the shipping label. Check it before lifting.
Keep the packaging
Keep the pallet, crate and carton frame. You will need them if the instrument is moved to a new location or returned for maintenance.
