1 Introduction
Purpose of this document
This document describes information that is supplementary to the instructions
provided in AxiChrom 300-1600 columns Operating Instructions (29065430) and in
AxiChrom 300-1600 columns User Manual (29099939).
This document only describes how to install and use a wheel kit on an AxiChrom™
column. For more information about AxiChrom columns please refer to the user
documentation provided with your column.
WARNING
Before installing, operating or maintaining AxiChrom
columns, all users must read and understand the entire
contents of AxiChrom 300-1600 columns Operating
Instructions (29065430) to become aware of the hazards
involved.
Scope
This document describes how to fit wheel kits to various sizes of AxiChrom columns so
that the columns can be moved, either using the trolley handle provided with the wheel
kit or by using moving equipment such as a MasterMover™ or PowerAttack™ connected
to an attachment coupling fitted to the wheel kit.
For information about moving equipment alternatives that can be used with an
AxiChrom wheel kit, but which must be ordered separately from the respective
supplier, refer to the AxiChrom product pages on the Cytiva website.

2 General precautions when moving columns
This section provides general safety information that must be observed when moving
AxiChrom 300-1600 columns.
WARNING
Columns in swing-out or any kind of maintenance mode must not
be moved. This may cause personal injury or damage to the
column.
WARNING
Make sure that the wheels are immobilized when fitting a wheel kit,
so that the column cannot begin to roll away.
WARNING
Make sure never to place any body part between the column stand
and a wheel kit. Always use the handle to hold a trolley when fitting
it under the column stand.
WARNING
Maintain a safe distance when moving the column. Make sure
that no person is near the column when the column is in motion,
other than the personnel required to perform lifting and moving
procedures.
CAUTION
To avoid accidental collisions, use caution when moving columns
equipped with wheels by hand. Two or more people may be
required to move the column safely.

NOTICE
To avoid damage to the wheels and possible tipping when the
column is moved, make sure that the wheels of the wheel kit do not
run into or over objects (for example doorway thresholds or
tubing).
NOTICE
The wheels must be removed and the column must be leveled
properly before the column is used.
NOTICE
While transporting a 300-600 column, do not pull the handle
upward, as the trolley knob may fall out of its position. Lifting the
handle will not work as a brake.

3.2 Fitting an AxiChrom 300-600 wheel kit
To be able to use the jack to assemble/disassemble the trolleys and fit or remove an
AxiChrom 300-600 column wheel kit the following requirements must be met.
•The distance between the floor and the column stand must be between 90-110 mm
for AxiChrom 300-600 columns.
•There must be adequate free surrounding space to be able to move the column (for
dimension information refer to AxiChrom 300-1600 columns Operating Instructions
(29065430)).
NOTICE
Do not perform any type of maintenance work on a column when it
is fitted with a wheel kit. Maintenance work may only be carried out
on AxiChrom columns when they are stably supported by the
column feet under the column stand.
Tip: If you intend to move the column back to the same position after it has been
moved, mark the position of the column feet on the floor before beginning to
fit the wheel kit. This will allow the column to be returned to exactly the
position after moving, without the need to level the column again.
