Mechanical Safety
This section provides safety information associated with the mechanical functions of the ARES-G2.
Lifting/Moving the Instrument
The ARES-G2 is a very heavy instrument. Use three people to lift and/or carry the instrument. The instru-
ment is too heavy for one person to handle safely. In order to avoid injury, particularly to the back, please
follow the procedure below.
1
Prepare the instrument for relocation as follows:
a
Remove all samples and geometries, as well as the lower temperature controlling device (which is
mounted on the motor) such as the Sealed Bath, Peltier Plate, Peltier Concentric Cylinders, and
Electrically Heated Plates.
b
Turn off the power and all power cords and cables to the power supply.
c
Lock the motor and transducer. See
d
Turn off the air/gas supply and disconnect all lines.
e
Close the oven (if installed) and secure it.
2
Remove the four corner plugs by pulling them straight out, as shown below. Retain the plugs for use
after the instrument is moved.
3
Follow the instructions on the next page according to the method used to move the instrument, with a
cart (recommended) or without a cart. If you are using a cart, you may move the instrument with two
people. If you are not using a cart, three people are required to move it.
WARNING: Keep your hands clear of the motor while it is running. If you need to
touch it, turn OFF the motor first.
AVERTISSEMENT: Éloignez vos mains du moteur lorsqu'il tourne. Si vous devez
le toucher, arrêtez d'abord le moteur.
