Unpacking Your Laboratory Fume Hood


Carefully remove the shrink-wrap or carton on your fume hood and inspect it for
damage that may have occurred in transit. If your unit is damaged, notify the
delivery carrier immediately and retain the entire shipment intact for inspection
by the carrier.

DO NOT RETURN GOODS WITHOUT THE PRIOR
AUTHORIZATION OF LABCONCO. UNAUTHORIZED
RETURNS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

IF YOUR HOOD WAS DAMAGED IN TRANSIT, YOU MUST
FILE A CLAIM DIRECTLY WITH THE FREIGHT CARRIER.

Do not discard the shipping skid or packing material for your fume hood until you
have checked all of the components and installed and tested the unit.

Do not remove the fume hood from its shipping skid until it is ready to be placed
into its final location. Move the unit by placing a flat, low dolly under the
shipping skid, or by using a floor jack.

Do not move the hood by tilting it onto a hand truck.

where you want to install it. Should you require disassembly to move the hood,
then follow the instructions in Appendix E. Then, follow the steps listed next to
remove the shipping skid from your unit.
