Accupoint Positioners
Pinch Point Hazard! Keep clear of moving parts. Be sure to stay clear of the positioner
during operation. Moving parts can crush and cut resulting in serious injury.
Crush Hazard! Do not stand directly beneath the positioner or payload. Be certain payload
is properly installed and secured. In locations or areas where the risk of injury occurs, or any
part of the assembly may become detached or fall for any reason, a safety chain or wire
hawser should be attached between the equipment and the mounting surface. At all times,
normal safety precautions must be employed. Death or serious injury could result if
positioner fails suddenly.
Safety Equipment! Correct PPE, Helmets or hard hats, eye protection, gloves, and safety
shoes or combat boots must be properly worn while working in the deployment area. Death
or serious injury could result if proper safety equipment is not properly worn.
Trained Personnel Only! Installation, operation, and maintenance to be performed by
trained and authorized personnel only. Death or serious injury could result if proper
installation, inspection, operation, and maintenance procedures are not observed.
Lifting Hazard! Manually lifting over 25kg (55 lb.) is prohibited. In the UK, all lifting
equipment must be thoroughly examined annually by a competent person and hold a
certified safety certificate according to the Lifting Operations and Lift Equipment Regulations
1998. Equivalent regulations exist in other EU Countries.
Safety Instruction – Remote Control! The equipment is subject to remote control and may
be operated at any time. Persons working on the equipment should take appropriate
precautions to ensure that any unexpected movement does not occur as this could lead to
injury.
Safety Instruction – Impact Loading! Utilize a fall arrest system to secure the payload in
the event of impact loading. The fall arrest system should connect to the positioner mounting
pedestal or other rigid structure. Death or serious injury could result if proper precautions are
not performed.
Equipment Damage! All persons installing and maintaining this equipment should be
suitably qualified and work to national and local standards and codes of practice.
Safety Instruction – High Pressure Spray! Do not expose the positioner to high pressure
spray. Equipment damage may occur.
