1. Lift and/or slide the transmitter cabinets off the base of their crates using mechanical
assistance (i.e., a forklift) and/or sufficient manpower. The NX50 is shipped in two
main crates - one transmitter cabinet and a transformer. Crated and uncrated weights
are shown in Table 2.1 . An additional crate, which contains the ac safety interlock
switch, may also be provided. Alternatively, depending on its size, the ac safety
interlock switch may be packed in the ancillary crate for shipping.

to personnel.
