Unpacking the RBRglissando

The RBRglissando arrives in a crate, where all units are packed together. Each unit comes with a set of cables bundled together in a protective sleeve. When you order an RBR instrument at the same time, the case with the instrument will also be included inside the crate. Follow the steps below to unpack your winch.

Do not remove protective sleeves from bundled cables.

Steps

  1. Remove the top and walls of the crate.

  2. Remove all the protective foam from the top and dispose of it responsibly.

  3. Remove the case with the RBR instrument (if applicable), the box with the handheld remote control unit (1) help with red straps, and the support kit box (2) from behind the drum.

  4. Remove the straps:

    1. two holding the bell mouth

    2. one securing the cabinet

  10. Flip all the breakers on.

    The control cabinet should remain locked at all times. The only reason to open it would be to reset the breakers when they trip.

    The drum unit ships with the motor oriented upwards. It will need to be in the proper orientation for installation and connection.
