Moving the Spectrometer
WARNING
The spectrometer is a heavy precision instrument, so two people are
required for safe handling.
Consult the local codes of practice issued by safety advisors before
attempting to lift it.
Take care not to injure yourself or others, or to drop the spectrometer.
WARNING
Before moving the spectrometer, switch off the power supply, wait
60 seconds, and disconnect the power cable.
The spectrometer can be lifted using the shaped handholds on its sides, as shown in
Figure 23. Two people are needed to lift it because its basic weight is approximately 36 kg.
