Some of the accessories provided as part of the instrument system are not designed or
built by Thermo Fisher Scientific. Consult the manufacturer's documentation for the
information needed for the safe use of these products.
CAUTION! Do not remove instrument protective covers. If you remove the
protective instrument panels, you may be exposed to serious hazards including,
but not limited to, severe electrical shock.
CAUTION! Moving and Lifting Injury. The instrument is to be moved and
positioned only by the personnel or vendor specified in the applicable site
preparation guide. Improper lifting can cause painful and permanent back
injury.
Things to consider before lifting or moving the instrument or accessories:
·
Depending on the weight, moving or lifting may require two or more
persons.
·
If you decide to lift or move the instrument after it has been installed, do not
attempt to do so without the assistance of others, the use of appropriate
moving equipment, and proper lifting techniques.
·
Ensure you have a secure, comfortable grip on the instrument or accessory.
·
Make sure that the path from where the object is to where it is being moved
is clear of obstructions.
·
Do not lift an object and twist your torso at the same time. Keep your spine
in a good neutral position while lifting with your legs.
· Participants should coordinate lift and move intentions with each other
before lifting and carrying.
·
For smaller packages, rather than lifting the object from the packing box,
carefully tilt the box on its side and hold it stationary while someone else
slides the contents out of the box.
CAUTION! Moving Parts. Moving parts can crush, pinch and cut. Keep hands
clear of moving parts while operating the instrument. Disconnect power before
servicing.
