READ ENTIRE GUIDE BEFORE UNPACKING AND INSTALLING

STEP ONE

Open crate or box, locate the slab base inside the crate (unless installing of a full sized pedestal) and unpack it on a soft surface.

If installing on full sized pedestal determine placement of pedestal and make

sure it is leveled.

Step Two

The sculpture is surrounded by packing peanuts, with a bucket and a

trash bag slowly begin to remove the packing peanuts. Be extremely

careful not to touch the sculpture during this process. Carefully brush

peanuts away from the sculpture by hand and proceed to remove

them using the bucket. Do not remove

sculpture until all peanuts are removed from the crate.

Step Three

Before removing the sculpture from the box make sure the base or pedestal is in

position and has been leveled. The sculpture must go directly from the crate to its base.

Carefully remove all the braces. The sculpture balances on a stainless steel pin. It will

remain upright after all the braces have been removed. CAREFULLY REMOVE HDPE

(clear film) FROM SCULPTURE.

Step Four

To remove the sculpture from the crate refer to the video on how to handle the

sculpture

Step Five

Place sculpture on base. Confirm orientation prior to placement.

With one technician watching to make sure the pin is being

inserted correctly, the other technician must keep a firm grip on

the sculpture PIN MUST BE AT 90 DEGREE ANGLE - once the

pin lines up perfectly, the sculpture will want to abruptly drop into

the hole. Take care to make sure it is let down easily.

For deinstallation follow this guide in reverse.

Before placing the sculpture in the box, cut a clean piece of HDPE

and drape inside the box. Gently wrap sculpture in HDPE.

It is CRITICALLY important when packing the work that the

peanuts are worked into the crate. Fill up the box in stages and

carefully work peanuts into the negative spaces around the

sculpture. Being careful to not touch the sculpture during this

process. Make sure that the crate is fully filled with packing

peanuts.
