plicable waste management rules and regulations.
4.2 Notes on the Instruction Manual
The Plantar Test Instruction Manual included in the package (on the USB pen-drive) is
necessary for the correct installation and operation of the instrument.
We recommend reading the manual with attention, as it is essential for the correct instal-
lation and operation of the instrument.
Please save the manual, ready to be consulted by the qualified personnel who use the
instrument. Print it, only if necessary.
Our Instruction Manuals are available as free download on our web, see
http://www.ugobasile.com/support/documentation.html . For any additional information
and/or assistance, you are welcome to contact our Service Department (see paragraph
10.7-Customer Support), specifying the serial number of your instrument.
4.3 Assembling the Equipment
Assemble the Plantar Test on a stable and flat bench or table surface.
Tighten the four supporting columns at the corners of the base platform, until their upper-
right-angle indentations are oriented to fit the angle blocks of the frame. The frame is
held in position by its own weight.
Lift the frame front bar 1-2 cm, to provide the clearance to insert the I.R. vessel. Make
sure the vessel glides freely over all available surface.
4.3.1 Assembling & Positioning the Enclosure
Assemble the animal enclosure, combining the 3 animal cages, as clearly indicated in the
assembly instructions included in each box. Obtain the number of spaces you need (up
to 4 per each cage), by the grey partitions provided, see also paragraph 2.2.1.
Use the four spacers provided, leaving them in place during test, to make sure the enclo-
sure is correctly positioned and held in place. This will enable the I.R. beam which comes
out from the Vessel to scan the entire enclosure floor.
4.3.2 How to Handle the Plantar Test
The Plantar Test is a relatively bulky and heavy instrument, with fragile parts, and it is
recommended that two people lift it.
