DRIVING THE AMX−4+
Overview
A compact design and dual motor assembly makes driving and maneuvering the
AMX−4+ an easy process.
If moving down hallways or just traveling from one room to another, you’ll first make
sure the telescoping arm is properly positioned and securely latched so maximum
speed can be reached.
Then simply grip the drive handle and steer the unit to your destination. (See Illustra-
tion 4−1.)
MOVEMENT OF THE AMX−4+ X−RAY UNIT COULD CAUSE THE
HORIZONTAL ARM TO SLIDE AND STRIKE AN OPERATOR OR
PATIENT IF NOT LATCHED PROPERLY. LATCH TELESCOPING ARM
PROPERLY BEFORE MOVING THE UNIT.
DO NOT DRIVE OR POSITION THE AMX−4+ UNIT UNLESS
STANDING DIRECTLY BEHIND IT (SEE ILLUSTRATION 4−1).
FAILURE TO DO THIS MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL CAUSING
SERIOUS INJURY AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
