to the IRS

Use a pallet jack or forklift to move a full (or
partially full) IPC within 3 m (10 ft) of the right
side of the IRS.

If an empty IPC is currently connected,
reverse Steps 3 and 4 below to disconnect it,
then move it out of the way.

to the full IPC’s pulse air inlet on the front of
the IPC pallet.
To ensure a good seal, press the lock button
