Physical injury

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.
