General Safety Precautions
Replaceable Batteries
CAUTION
Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose
of Used Batteries According to the Instructions.
Maintenance Requiring Two People
Identify maintenance actions that require two people to perform the repair. Two people are
required when:
•
A repair has the risk of injury that would require one person to perform first aid or call for
emergency support. An example would be work around high voltage sources. A second
person may be required to remove power and call for emergency aid if an accident occurs
to the first person.
•
Use the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) lifting equation to
determine whether one or two person lift is required when a system component must be
removed and replaced in its rack.
Equipment Racks
Equipment racks should only be lifted without the use of lifting equipment when sufficient
personnel are available to ensure that regulations covering health and safety are not breached.
Motorola recommends the use of an appropriate powered mechanical lifting apparatus for
moving and lifting the equipment racks. In addition to these points, refer to and comply with any
local regulations that govern the use of lifting equipment.
WARNING
Crush hazard could result in death, personal injury, or equipment
damage. Equipment racks can weigh up to 360 kg (800 lb.). Follow the
instructions below for proper lifting procedures.
Lifting Equipment Racks Horizontally
In some cases, equipment racks are shipped in the horizontal position. Use the appropriate
lifting apparatus to lift the racks upright. Comply with all applicable health and safety
regulations, and any other regulations applicable to lifting heavy equipment.
Do not use the eyenuts mounted on the top of the rack to lift the rack upright from a horizontal
position. The eyenuts are not designed to lift horizontally and could fail resulting in damage to
equipment or injury to personnel if used improperly.
