SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

Do not touch electrically live parts or electrodes with your skin or wet clothing.

Insulate yourself from the work and ground.

Always wear dry insulating gloves.

Only qualified personnel should install, use, or ser- vice this equipment.

SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION

Place the Idealarc R3R in a dry location where clean cooling air can flow freely in through the front louvers and out through the rear louvers. Keep dust, dirt, and other foreign materials that can be drawn into the machine to a minimum. Failure to observe these pre- cautions can lead to excessive operating temperatures and nuisance shut-downs.

WARNING

FALLING EQUIPMENT can cause injury.

Do not lift this machine using the lift bail if it is equipped with a heavy accessory such as a trailer or a gas cylinder.

Lift only with equipment of adequate lifting capacity.

Be sure the machine is stable when lifting.

Do not stack more than three high.

Do not stack the R3R on top of any other machine.

A permanent lift bail is located at the top of the machine, positioned at the center of gravity for stable lifting. R3R weights are as follows:

R3R-300 350 pounds (159 kilograms)

R3R-400 402 pounds (182 kilograms)

R3R-500 446 pounds (202 kilograms)

TILTING

Place the machine on a secure, level surface. Any sur- faces you place it on other than the ground must be firm, non-skid, and structurally sound.

STACKING

Idealarc R3Rs may be stacked three high. The bottom machine must be on a stable, hard, level surface capa- ble of supporting the weight of up to three machines (1350 pounds/1608 kilograms). Be sure that the two pins in the roof of the bottom machine fit into the holes in the base of the machine above. The lift bail is posi- tioned so that it fits without interference under the base of the second machine.

Do not stack heavier machines on top of lighter machines. For example, do not place an R3R-500 on top of an R3R-400 or an R3R-400 on top of an R3R-300.
