Mechanical Hazards
The QuickStick HT transport system is a complex electromechanical system. Only personnel
with the proper training should install, operate, or service the QuickStick HT transport system.
All facilities to the QSHT transport system must be disconnected as outlined in the lock-
out/tagout procedure for the facility before servicing to help prevent injury from the automatic
operation of the equipment. The proper precautions for operating and servicing remotely con-
trolled electromechanical equipment must be observed. These precautions include wearing
safety glasses, safety shoes, and any other precautions that are specified within the facility
where the QSHT components are being used.
ATTENTION:
Payloads are susceptible to vector motion
forces.
Always account for the effects of acceleration, deceleration,
and directional changes upon the payload. Control forces to
avoid projectile motion of the payload, limit move profiles
and/or provide tooling to secure the payload to the vehicle.
CRUSH HAZARD:
Moving mechanisms have no obstruc-
tion sensors.
Do not operate the QuickStick HT components without barri-
ers in place or personal injury could result in the squeezing or
compression of fingers, hands, or other body parts between
moving mechanisms.
AUTOMATIC MOTION HAZARD:
Whenever power is
applied, the possibility of automatic movement of the vehi-
cles on the QuickStick HT transport system exists, which
could result in personal injury.
LIFTING HAZARD:
Some of the QuickStick HT compo-
nents can weigh as much as 41.5 kg [91.5 lb].
Failure to take the proper precautions before moving them
could result in personal injury.
Use proper techniques for lifting when moving any QSHT
components. Safety toe shoes must always be worn when
working on the QuickStick HT transport system.
