If the vehicle does not have a liftgate, perform steps a. through c. to load the system in a horizontal position
into the vehicle.
a. Tip the system backward so that the front wheels are off the ground.
b. Use the specially-designed lift handles, if installed, or the metal frame of the device to lift the system into
the vehicle. Do not use the bumpers or the blue side panels for lifting, or you may damage the system.
Always use proper lifting technique when lifting the system.
c. Lay the system in the vehicle so that it rests on the rear wheels and the two wheels on the handle of the
system.
Securing the system inside the vehicle
1
Use a cargo strap to secure the system inside the vehicle so that the system remains stable during transport. Do
not put any weight or objects on the monitor or on the centrifuge cover during transport.
2
Ensure that any other equipment in the vehicle is secured to prevent damage to the system.
Storing the Spectra Optia System
Cover the Spectra Optia system and store it in a clean environment, according to the specifications stated in
Table 18-2 on page 242.
Note:
Before transporting the system in a horizontal position, consider removing the filler from the
centrifuge chamber and transporting it separately. This helps to minimize wear on the centrifuge and reduce
the risk of damage to components inside the centrifuge chamber.
