Pinch Hazards
There is a potential pinch point between the top of the basket
arms and the top edge of the slots through which the basket
arms extend when the arms travel to their uppermost position.
Although there is a clearance of about 15 mm (0.6 inches)
between the top of the arm and edge of the slot, and although
the arms cannot move further because the drive mechanism
prevents it, the operator should nevertheless keep clear of the
arms while they are moving.
A similar potential pinch point exists between the bottom edge
of the arms and the bottom edge of the slots when the arms are
fully lowered. The risk of injury is low since the arms are driven
downward only by gravity. Nevertheless, the operator should
remain clear of the arms while they are moving.
