2. DISMANTLING THE WOODEN SHIPPING CONTAINER
Please read and follow the instructions outlined below in order to safely dismantle the wooden shipping
container:
Use caution when handling the packaging components. The wooden side
panels, wooden cap and pallet may have sharp metal edges.

There is a cone attached to the top of the EQX shipping container to prevent
people from stacking objects on the container. If the cone has been removed or
crushed, this may indicate that objects were stacked on the unit.
To dismantle the wooden shipping container, please follow the steps outlined below:
1. Three people are required in order to safely dismantle the shipping container. When moving the
system to a different location, it is essential that a handcart, pallet jack, or forklift be used. Care
should be taken to avoid jarring the EQX frame.
CAUTION – Do not attempt to lift or move the fully assembled EQX from the
pallet. Please note that the weight of the EQX can range from 400 lbs (181.44
kg) to 500 lbs (226.8 kg) depending on the type of unit shipped (16RU or 26RU).
2. The dimensions of the EQX shipping container are: 40-inches (101.6 cm) wide, 40-inches (101.6
cm) long, and 56 inches (142.2 cm) high (66 inches including the cardboard shipping cone).
Before moving the shipping container, take note of the dimensions to ensure that there is sufficient
clearance space when transporting it through doors and passageways. Move the EQX shipping
container as close to the installation location by transporting it via a handcart, pallet jacket or
forklift. Ensure that there is an adequate amount of space to comfortably unpack and assemble
the system.
3. It is imperative that at least two people are securing the box while another person removes the
clips and panels to ensure that the panels do not fall and cause personal injury or damage to the
EQX unit.
4. There are 8 clips securing each wooden side panel to the front and back panels. Remove each
clip by pressing the tab on the clip and pushing the clip out from under the metal clasp. Repeat
this step for all 8 clips. At this time, DO NOT remove the clips securing the panels to the top cap or
bottom pallet.
5. Repeat step 4 to unhinge the other side panel.
6. All 16 side clips should now be removed from the side, front and back panels. Depending on the
shipping container size there may be 8, 10 or 14 clips securing the cap to the top of the wooden
packaging unit. Remove each clip by pressing the tab on the clip and pushing the clip out from
under the metal clasp.

7. Once all the clips are removed from the top cap, ensure at least two people are securing the side
panels while another person carefully lifts and removes the top cap.
8. Ensure at least two people are safely securing the side, front and back panels before removing the
bottom clips. Remove the 2, 3 or 4 clips that are securing the front panel to the pallet. Carefully lift
and remove the panel. Set the panel aside. Repeat this procedure for the remaining panels.
It is important to retain the shipping container, shipping container materials and
accessories for future shipping use.
9. Once all the panels are removed, set them aside. Remove the foam cap ends from the top and
bottom of the EQX.
10. Remove the protective packaging bag that is covering the EQX.
11. Open the EQX door and remove the protective packaging bag(s) from inside the unit.
12. Remove the bolts from the side and bottom ears of the triangle rack mount. The accessory box
that was shipped with your EQX contains the two wrenches needed to loosen the bolts. Use the
7/16” size wrench to remove the side bolts, and the 9/16” size wrench to remove the bottom bolts.
13. Once the bolts are removed, the EQX can be moved from the pallet and installed in the desired
location. Please refer to the EQX user manual for installation and operation instructions.
