TRANSPORTING
2. Push the back sensor lever's attaching block in-
wards towards the center of the back sensor panel.
This will release the handle from its plunger mov-
T
ing position into its locking position.

3. With the attaching block depressed, push the le-
A
ver forward until it rests against the stop block. The
N
handle should "pop" back out and lock the back
S
sensor into position. If the handle does not pop back
P
out, and the back sensor does not lock, then re-
O
peat the above steps.

1. Lock the back sensor panel into its retracted
I
position (See above). Never transport or lift the
N
back sensor panel without it locked in the retracted
G
position (Figure 9)!

2. Depress the tilt adjustment lever and position the
Shape Sensor in the fully tilted position. Depress-
ing the gas cylinders will help create the smallest
frame package.
3. Remove the back sensor and store it either stand-
ing up, or on its back side. Do not store the back
sensor on its front side (The side with the grid printed
on it.)
4. Remove both side plates.
5. Remove the seat sensor panel and store it either
standing up, or on its bottom side. The frame can
98-110
be stored as a complete unit or disassembled into
a more compact package. If the most compact
package is desired then proceed as follows:
6. (Optional) Loosen the clamp blocks at the front of
the frame and fold the support legs. When reas-
sembling the frame make sure these clamps are
fully engaged.
7. (Optional) Remove the gas cylinder clevis pins and
fold the frame. Reinstall the pins into the clevis to
help prevent loss. Do not misplace these pins.

Transporting an assembled Shape Sensor

The Shape Sensor can be transported fully assembled
in a van. A ramp with a full width platform should be
used to make this process a safer procedure. The
back sensor panel can be folded forward or reclined to
improve access and handling. The method used will
be dependent upon the available head room in the van.
Folding the back sensor forward
1. Lock the back sensor panel (Page 10). Never
transport or lift the back sensor panel without it
locked in the retracted position!
2. Place cardboard on the seat sensor to protect the
sensors. Loosen the back angle adjustment knobs
and rotate the back sensor panel forward (Figure
10) until the stop blocks index into the receiving
notches located on the front of each side plate.
FIGURE 10 FOLDING THE SENSOR FORWARD
3. Lift the back sensor upwards just enough to move
the stop blocks forward into the second receiving
notch (Figure 11). The stop blocks attaching bolts
will then rest into both receiving notches.
