CAREFULLY
When lifting or moving the plasma power supply:
• Clear the area of all cables, wires, and other potential obstacles that can get caught
on the plasma power supply while you are moving it.
• Only use equipment with sufficient capability to safely lift and support the plasma
power supply.
• If you use the lift eye to lift the plasma power supply, make sure that you lift only the
plasma power supply so that you do not exceed the maximum lift eye rating. See
Table 1
on page 27 .
• If you use a lift truck to lift the plasma power supply, use one whose forks extend
along the entire bottom of the plasma power supply. Use the lift truck slots located
on the bottom of the plasma power supply.
• Make sure that the area is clear before setting the plasma power supply down.
• Set the plasma power supply down gently. Do not drop it from any height.
Lift truck

be: 1) long enough to fully support and extend along the entire bottom of the plasma power
supply, and 2) rated to hold the weight of the plasma power supply.
Lift eye
A lift eye is built into the top of the plasma power supply. Make sure that the lift equipment that
you use is rated to hold the weight of the plasma power supply.
