and above all, for complex and sophisticated items, the installation of which must be entrusted to specialists from the various
companies, this could lead to problems relating to the maintenance of the guarantee conditions of the instruments.
In case of problems during the installation that can go from the malfunction of the item or, in other cases, from the lack of
accessories, installation kits and, in general, parts necessary for assembly and / or installation. The situation in the various roo
the workshops immediately appeared chaotic. Many boxes have been renamed with an item number while containing accesso
for different items.
The customer also complained that he had not received instructions regarding the gases needed for the equipment that will h
use them.
Another problem is represented by the fact that the customer says he has not received information about the dimensions of t
various items, electrical connections, the need for connections to fluids.
Which, explains the client, led to having to change the destination of some items which, for example, proved to be too large a
high to be placed in the foreseen positions.
For some instruments I have recommended the change of position with respect to what was estimated. Some of these in fact

I was happy to be able to help (request from Cobra personnel) in verifying the completeness of some systems with multiple
accessories. In some cases this has led to the lack of some accessories. In most cases, the audit was concluded positively.
Having closed the points that led to my speech, I took the time to give general indications on the use of the instruments, and o
their location. Also I was clear in advising not to try to install the equipment but instead make sure that you adequately meet
pre-installation requirements for any equipment that will be installed by a specialist from the manufacturer. It is essential that
specialist can find everything ready to avoid wasting time or worse the impossibility to install the equipment.
