PL4150 Operating Instructions
Before Operation / Transportation:
Ensure the PL4150 is properly secured to your vehicle. It can be with straps, a fixture or some other
mount. The unit cannot have any wiggle room during transportation. If you choose to use straps, ensure
they do not cover the latches or the top lid, so that you may open the unit to test. Additionally, leave
enough room during securing that you can properly access both side panels for the E-stop, the circuit
breaker box, and the Staubli cord.
Ensure the Estop is properly screwed and secured to the unit.
