AVOID EQUIPMENT DAMAGE!
Damage to the Imaging Device Carriage will occur if the RAD
Suspension is moved directly in front of the Imaging Device. Avoid a
collision between the RAD Suspension collimator and the Imaging
Device Carriage by making sure that the Imaging Device is parked
fully at the head-end or foot-end of the table before moving the RAD
Suspension into position. See ILLUSTRATION 7-20.
