Refer to Figure 6-32 and follow the steps below to install the shipping strap.
1. Unplug the instrument from power. Loosen the three screws on each
side and the two on the back of the top panel (they do not need to be
removed). Loop the strap under the cabinet and over the top of the
column as shown (the end of the strap without a buckle should be on
top). Tape a piece of protective cardboard on the side panel to protect
the finish.
2. Hook the end of the strap with a buckle to the bottom of the ratchet and
thread the other end of the strap through the split cylinder as shown.
3. While holding the ratchet mechanism in place, swing the lever up and
down to put tension on the strap. Use the ratchet to push the column
down into its shock mounts until the column barely moves when pushed
from side to side.
4. Replace the cover and tighten the screws loosened in step 1.
If you have any concerns regarding shipping the instrument, contact TSI
service for assistance.
