Moving the RSA-G2 Using a Cart (Highly Recommended)
1 Obtain a cart that is wide enough to accommodate the instrument and able to support at least 250 lbs
(114 kg). If possible, raise the cart until the top surface is level with your lab bench.
2 Position one person on the lighter side of the instrument (to the left as you face the instrument), and two
people on the heavy side of the instrument (to the right as you face the instrument). Carefully slide the
RSA-G2 onto the cart.
3 Wheel the cart to the desired location, slide the instrument onto the bench top, and remove the lifting
handles.
