General handling precautions
Only individuals experienced with the operation of lifting equipment and rigging
techniques should attempt to lift or move an Instron
®
system. Equipment operators
must have the appropriate licenses and have complied with your local safety standards
(e.g. the appropriate training required by OSHA in the U.S.).
Always follow the instructions provided with the shipping package. Contact Instron
®
if
you require any additional information or if any part of the shipment is damaged.
