Handling Guidance
IMPORTANT
Due to the overall weight and size of the SG32-1500M, it is not designed for manual lifting or carrying. Any
lifting should be undertaken with appropriate mechanical equipment, preferably on a level, stable secure platform
that can accommodate the wheels and the base of the unit.
For manoeuvrability the SG32-1500M is supplied on a robust wheel-kit with a large handle. These wheels
and handle allow the instrument to be pushed or pulled onto site. For uneven or un-level ground, where pushing
could become difficult, additional handles are fitted to the top and bottom side panels, whereby additional
persons may assist moving the SG32-1500M onto its required operating position.
These guidelines do not take precedence over the operator Company’s own guidelines on handling heavy
equipment, which must take precedence.
The SG32-1500M should only be used for its stated application. Any other
application may render the safety features inoperative and expose the operator to
dangerous levels of energy.
In the event of equipment malfunction, the unit should immediately be de-
energized and returned to Megger for repair.
This equipment generates High Voltages and high Current, which can be lethal.
Operators must read and understand this entire User Guide prior to operating
the equipment. Operator must follow the instructions of this User Guide and
attend the equipment while the equipment is in use.
