Fluke 9100 - 2.2 Lifting and Carrying the Model 9100

2-2 Section 2: Installing the Model 9100
Final Width = 215mm
Caution! The 9100 weighs in excess of 18kg, so take special care when lifting and
carrying the instrument.
2.2.1 Lifting and Carrying from Bench Height
1. Disconnect and remove any cables from the rear panel.
2. Tilt the 9100 so that it is standing vertically on its rear panel, with the feet towards you.
Pull the instrument towards you at the edge of the bench.
3. Grasp the instrument at the bottom (rear panel) corner furthest away from you, and tilt
it slightly to rest against you. Take the weight and carry it vertically at the same height,
making sure that it remains resting against you.
4. Place the 9100 down at the same level by setting it vertically on to the surface, then
swivel it so that it can be tilted back on to its feet.
2.2.2 Lifting and Putting Down at Low Level
1. Always bend your knees, not your back, when going down. Keep your back as straight
and as vertical as possible.
2. Use the same technique (2.2.1 above) to hold the instrument's center of gravity close
to you (most of its weight is at the rear).
2.3 Unpacking and Inspection
Every care is taken in the choice of packing materials to ensure that your equipment will
reach you in perfect condition.
If the equipment has been subject to excessive mishandling in transit, the fact will
probably be visible as external damage to the shipping container and inner carton. In the
event of damage, the shipping container, inner carton and cushioning material should be
kept for the carrier’s inspection.
Carefully unpack the equipment and check for external damage to the case, sockets,
controls, etc. If the shipping container and cushioning material are undamaged, they
should be retained for use in subsequent shipments. If damage is found notify the carrier
and your sales representative immediately.
Standard accessories supplied with the instrument should be as described in Section 1.
