Mechanical Safety

Lifting the Instrument

The Discovery TGA is a heavy instrument. In order to avoid injury, particularly to the back, please follow 
this advice:

WARNING: Keep your fingers and all other objects out of the path of the furnace when it is mov-
ing. The seal is very tight.

AVERTISSEMENT: Écartez vos doigts et tous les autres objets du chemin du four lorsqu'il est en 
mouvement. L'étanchéité est très hermétique.

WARNING: Use two people to lift and/or carry the instrument. The instrument is too heavy for 
one person to handle safely.

AVERTISSEMENT: Demandez à deux personnes de soulever et/ou de porter l'instrument. 
L'instrument est trop lourd pour qu'une seule personne le manipule en toute sécurité.
