Handling of the crated aligner must be performed only with an appropriate
lifting device such as a forklift or pallet jack.
Only personnel who are experienced and qualified in freight handling
procedures should handle any transportation or moving of the crated aligner.
Inspect for any damage to the crate and notify your local distributor (and/or
freight company) immediately if any damage is observed.
Uncrating Instructions:
Carefully remove packing materials. Be careful when cutting banding material
as items may loosen and fall, causing personal harm or injury.
Always wear gloves when uncrating to prevent scratches, abrasions, or cuts
due to the contact with packing materials.
Retain all packaging in case you need to return any parts for warranty or
servicing. Carefully unpack and inventory all items. Familiarize yourself with
all components before beginning set up and assembly.

3.2 Positioning
Diagram: Positioning for fixed camera post & beam assembly.
Measure the distance between the inner sides of the runways on the lift and
find the center point. Shown as A and B. Find the center line of the lift using
these two points.
With turn table locked, at the alignment level, find the center point of the turn
table. Link the two center points of the turn table, as shown at C.
From the center line of the turn table, measure L1. Mark the first position of
the post
Mark the four point for the base of the post. Shown as E and D.
NOTE:This is also the optimum positioning for mobile units.
