Align the xture so that two of the three springs are
on each side of the L-bracket. This is necessary in
order to make sure that when the springs release,
the L-bracket does not interfere and prevent the

CAUTION
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY - Operators shall ensure no appendages are in the path of the torsion springs as they are a pinch hazard when
released. The springs will release when the arm is exed downward. Be cautious that no body part is in the path of the spring when released.
RISQUE DE BLESSURE CORPORELLE - Les techniciens veilleront à ce qu’aucun appendice ne se trouve sur le chemin des ressorts de torsion, car
ils présentent un risque de pincement lorsqu’ils sont libérés. Les ressorts seront libérés au moment de échir le bras vers le bas. Faites attention à
ce qu’aucune partie du corps ne se trouve sur le chemin du ressort à sa libération.
