AMG Hardware Manual
Chapter 2: Mechanical Specifications and Installation
W A R N I N G : AMG installation must be in accordance to instructions provided by this manual
and any accompanying documentation. Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury
or damage to the equipment.
2.1. Unpacking and Handling the Stage
D A N G E R / H E A V Y : Manually lifting and moving the stage requires a minimum of two
people on either side of the stage. Refer to
Do not attempt to lift heavy loads single handed.

Follow the lifting instructions and only manually lift from the specified surfaces (if lifting
l
hardware hasn't been supplied).
Do not use any of the cables as lifting points.
l
W A R N I N G : It is the customer's responsibility to safely and carefully lift the stage.
Make sure that all moving parts are secure before moving the AMG. Unsecured moving
l
parts may shift and cause bodily injury.
Improper handling could adversely affect the performance of the AMG. Use care when
l
moving the AMG.
Lift the stage by the eyebolts and flanged nuts mounted on to the elevation shipping
l
clamps. The eyebolts should be lifted vertically. Angular lifting should be avoided if
possible.
N O T E : If any damage has occurred during shipping, report it immediately.
Lifting Instructions
Carefully remove the AMG from its protective shipping container. Gently set the AMG on a smooth, flat, and
clean surface.
Before operating the AMG, it is important to let it stabilize at room temperature for at least 12 hours. Allowing
it to stabilize to room temperature will ensure that all of the alignments, preloads, and tolerances are the
same as they were when tested at Aerotech. Use compressed nitrogen or clean, dry, oil-less air to remove
any dust or debris that has collected during shipping.
Each AMG has a label listing the system part number and serial number. These numbers contain information
necessary for maintaining or updating system hardware and software. Locate this label and record the
information for later reference.
Shipping Clamps
Before the stage can be operated, remove all of the red anodized shipping brackets (refer to
Save the shipping brackets to be used for long-term storage of the stage or return shipping for service.
