This gantry should be moved using the shipping dollies only. Do not lift or move it using a lift truck under the gantry frame.

• Use dollies to remove the gantry from the shipping skid and to transport the gantry to the customer’s site.

• If lifting is required, instructions are in the Pre-Installation Manual for this system.

This system requires a gantry bearing gap inspection before electrical calibration is started.

If the bearing inspection fails the FE opens a dispatch and does not continue with the electrical calibration procedures.

Procedures in this chapter provide detailed instructions to position, level, and anchor the gantry and table securely for operation. The system uses adjustable leveling pads to support the gantry and table. The gantry has four (4) primary leveling pads located on the gantry base. The table has four (4) pads used for leveling it.

The process you follow is:

1. Use the room-layout template to determine the general position of the gantry and table.

2. Move the gantry into position.

3. Level gantry.

4. Use the laser tool to position the table relative to the gantry.

5. Level the table to the gantry, and anchor the system.

6. Complete the mechanical installation section of GE Form e4879.

Always use the room layout template (two pieces), during installation. The gantry and table are not properly aligned if existing holes are used. The template shows the location of the gantry and table anchor holes.

The applicable template is shipped with the system. It is located on the middle shelf on the Lean Installation Cart. You can also order it via the web GEMS BUY, from Coakley-Tech.
