Transporting sensitive components
When transporting ESD sensitive components such as replacement parts or parts to be returned to Dell, it is critical to place these parts in
anti-static bags for safe transport.
Lifting equipment
Adhere to the following guidelines when lifting heavy weight equipment:
CAUTION:
Do not lift greater than 50 pounds. Always obtain additional resources or use a mechanical lifting device.
1
Get a firm balanced footing. Keep your feet apart for a stable base, and point your toes out.
2
Tighten stomach muscles. Abdominal muscles support your spine when you lift, offsetting the force of the load.
3
Lift with your legs, not your back.
4
Keep the load close. The closer it is to your spine, the less force it exerts on your back.
5
Keep your back upright, whether lifting or setting down the load. Do not add the weight of your body to the load. Avoid twisting your
body and back.
6
Follow the same techniques in reverse to set the load down.
