Lifting/Moving the Instrument
The RSA-G2 is a very heavy instrument. Use three people to lift and/or carry the instrument. The instru-
ment is too heavy for one person to handle safely. In order to avoid injury, particularly to the back, please
follow the advice below.
1 Prepare the instrument for relocation as follows:
a Remove all samples and geometries, as well as the Forced Convection Oven (if installed).
b Turn off the power and all power cords and cables to the power supply.
c Lock the motor and transducer.
d Turn off the air/gas supply and disconnect all lines.
2 Remove the four corner plugs by pulling them straight out, as shown below. Retain the plugs for use
after the instrument is moved.
3 Install the four carrying handles by screwing them into the threaded holes on all four corners, as shown
below.
4 Follow the instructions on the next page, depending upon the method you are using to move the instrument,
with a cart (recommended) or without a cart. If you are using a cart, you can move the instrument with
two people. If you are not using a cart, three people are needed to move it.
