lifting can cause painful and sometimes permanent back injury. Use proper lifting
techniques when lifting or moving the instrument. At least two people are required to lift
the instrument.
1. Cut the tape securing the top flaps of the crate and open them.
2. Remove the system packing kit from the instrument and set it aside.
3. Remove the packing material from the crate.
4. Remove the protective cover from the instrument.
5. Position yourselves on either side of the instrument and grasp it firmly at the
corners.
6. Lift and move the instrument to the installation location.
Guidelines for lifting and moving the instrument:
• Keep your spine in a neutral position.
• Bend at the knees and lift with your legs.
• Do not lift an object and twist your torso at the same time.
• Coordinate your intentions with your assistant before lifting and carrying.
Do not carry the instrument by the instrument drawer. Carrying
