Remove Shipping Braces and Protective Film at the Right Stage
Identify what is temporary and what is permanent before removing transit braces, blocks, film, straps, or angles, and remove each item at the stage that protects the piece without obstructing operation.
Stop if This angle is marked for shipping but it also holds the fitting shape. Can we confirm the shop note and removal point before I take it out?
Watch out Do not remove unfamiliar reinforcement because it looks temporary, and do not leave confirmed shipping material inside an operating system.
Check Read tags, shop notes, submittals, and markings before removal. Verify whether the item protects shape, finish, internal parts, or shipment only. Remove temporary material before it can block airflow, movement, access, testing, or startup. Protect exposed or architectural finishes until the approved removal stage.
