Safety guidelines
Using controls, making adjustments, or performing procedures other than those
specified in the user documentation can expose you to moving-parts hazards and
hazardous voltage. Before using the Bravo Platform, make sure you are aware of the
potential hazards and understand how to avoid being exposed to them.
Ensure that you are trained in the safe operation of the device and that you have read
the Agilent Automation Solutions Products General Safety Guide and the safety section
of the Bravo Platform Safety and Installation Guide.

Safety label locations on Bravo Platform (front view)
The Bravo Platform has moving parts that are accessible at the front, sides, and rear of
the device, if not protected by the Bravo light curtain and shields. For a description of
the moving parts, see “Axes of motion” on page 6.
For the emergency-stop procedure, see “Emergency stops” on page 11.
If you touch any of the moving parts or attempt to move labware while the Bravo
Platform is in operation, the device could pinch, pierce, or bruise you. Keep your
fingers, hair, clothing, and jewelry away from the device while it is in motion.
The Bravo head z-axis motor is particularly powerful. It might not stop immediately in
a collision and a pipette tip could pierce your hand. Keep away from the Bravo
Platform when the Bravo head is moving or about to move, especially in the z-axis
direction.
