2-4 iCAP RQ Pre-Installation Requirements Guide (P/N BRE0009927, Revision A) Thermo Scientific
The iCAP RQ ICP-MS instrument is provided with four retractable
handles. Each instrument is shipped on a pallet with the handles pulled
out and fixed on the pallet, see
Figure 2-2 . Safety catches prevent the
handles from unintentionally being retracted after they have been pulled
out.
The instrument is shipped with two lifting devices, each providing
sufficient space for three persons that are standing side by side to carry
the instrument.
An instrument with mounted lifting devices does not fit through a door
with a width of 80 cm (32 in.), in contrast to the unpacked instrument
alone. Furthermore, the persons that carry the instrument require
considerable space for maneuvering. Therefore, Thermo Fisher
Scientific recommends using a pallet jack when moving the instrument
into another room.
The following instructions assume that the instrument has been moved
to the installation site with a pallet jack and the top cover of the
transport crate has been removed.
❖
To mount the lifting device and move the instrument onto the bench
1. Gather four to six people trained in lifting heavy loads and appoint
one person that takes command and gives instructions.

CAUTION
!
Heavy Load . Because of its weight of about 142 kg, handling the
instrument alone might cause muscle strain and back injury. Lifting
and moving the iCAP RQ ICP-MS instrument requires the effort of at
least
four persons to keep the individual load within acceptable limits
(maximum 40 kg for men or 15 kg for women for a duration of
5 seconds). The carriers must be trained in how to carry loads properly
(for example, by rising from the knees with a straight back). Thermo
Fisher Scientific recommends using a pallet jack to lift the mass
spectrometer onto the workbench.
