6.6 Handling
The system must be disassembled prior to being moved. The parts of the system are not locked
together in any way and are likely to fall if moved together, resulting in damage to the equipment and
possible injury to those near to or those transporting it.
The Magstim Rapid² unit weighs in excess of 20kg. If it is necessary to move the units for any reason,
the weight must be distributed between at least two persons. Please see diagram below for
recommended manual handling methods.
Note: The weight of Magstim Rapid² unit is unevenly distributed with the right hand side of the unit
being considerably heavier than the left. Care should be taken when transporting the unit to ensure
that this heavier side is adequately supported.

6.7 Packing Instructions
If, for any reason, it is necessary to return your Magstim Rapid² unit care should be taken to ensure
that the equipment is adequately packed to prevent transit damage. Ideally the equipment should be
returned in its original packing. If this or an adequate replacement is not available, replacement
shipping cartons can be obtained from the Magstim Company Limited.
The Magstim Rapid² System must be completely disconnected before shipping, including removal of
the coil holder on the side of the Magstim Rapid². Failure to do so is likely to result in transit damage
to the casing.
