Safety Considerations
Use all 4 lift points when moving the instrument. The enclosure is not
equipped with forklift points. To prevent damage when using a forklift to
move the instrument, secure the instrument on a pallet and then lift the
pallet.
Tip and crush hazards
The instrument and enclosure can be installed on a wall, on a shelf or
table-top, on a floor stand, or on a cart. Due to weight, these instruments
and their enclosures can pose a tip and crush hazard unless appropriate
anchors are in place. Use anchors and anti-tip devices that were designed by
a qualified structural engineer. Always use anchors and anti-tip devices that
meet applicable local codes and the specifications later in this guide.
Note
Thermo Fisher Scientific provides no hardware for attaching the enclosure
to the surrounding structure at the installation site.
Danger
The instrument and enclosure are heavy and could crush if they are not
securely installed and tip or fall.
Never use an instrument that is not secured with all fasteners. If a bolt or
anchor becomes loose, tighten it immediately. If a bolt or anchor is
missing, replace it immediately. Always use bolts and anchors that meet the
requirements listed specifications sections later in this manual and the
schedule drawings and schematics that that were provided with the
analyzer.
