    4.2. Placement of Crawler on Inspection Surface IMPORTANT! To place the crawler on the inspection surface, use the scanner installation/removal as a spacer between the wheels and the (Fig. 22) surface on which the crawler is to drive. This is necessary to protect the electronic components within the crawler from damaging shock, should the crawler be slammed directly onto the surface.
