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 can 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 help of others, the use of appropriate moving
equipment, and proper lifting techniques.
·
Ensure that you have a secure, comfortable grip on the instrument or
accessory.
·
Ensure 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, instead of 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.
The scanner has a moving drawer that ejects from the left side. Provide
adequate space on the left side of the scanner.
·
Do not open the tray to the instrument because this action presents a danger
of injury.
·
Do not touch the instrument tray when you start the scanning process or
load a tray because this action presents a danger of injury.
