Before operating the system:

Be sure to read and understand the entire operation procedure before beginning
operation.

Visually inspect the system for damage. If damage is apparent, do not use the
system, and have it serviced prior to use.

Read and understand the controller manual. Ensure that all warnings, associated
with the controller are understood and followed. Ensure all relevant installation,
operation, and maintenance instructions are followed.

Ensure that the area around the pan and tilt area is clear so no damage will result
from unexpected movement.

Ensure that all wiring connections are tight and appropriately connected.

Ensure that the following warnings are understood and followed:
Safety Instruction – Operation! For outdoor use only. Do not use in areas that have been
classified as hazardous as defined by ATEX/DSEAR directives
Safety Instruction – Keep Clear! Keep personnel clear of the positioner during operation.
Equipment Damage! Check for and remove any objects which might obstruct motion, cause
binding, or hinder function of the system. Hitting obstructions will cause damage to the
positioner.
Equipment Damage! If the electronic tilt limit stops are reset to their original settings, it is
possible to drive the payload platform into contact with the positioner. Damage to the
positioner and/or payload will occur.
Entanglement Hazard! Ensure cables are not tangled and are free to play out as the mast
is extended. Tangled cables can cause equipment damage.
