2.14.1Before You Begin

Complete these tasks:

4Identify a helper to assist you in removing the system

Section 2.4 “How to Position the System for Service” on page 60

Discuss the task and verify that your helper can safely lift and carry 34 lbs (17 kg), which is approximately half the weight of a fully-equipped system.

Review the steps in the next section with your helper beforehand and discuss how to coordinate your efforts to ensure your mutual safety.

Caution - When completing a two-person procedure, always communicate your intentions clearly before, during, and after each step to minimize confusion.

2.14.2What to Do

1.Position one person on each side of the system, facing the system glides.

When you are both in position, verify that your helper understands what to do with the system after you remove it. Also agree on a route to follow, and visually inspect it for potential safety hazards (for example, cables on the floor, other people working in the vicinity, and so on).

2.Locate the flat spring catches on the inner glides.

Each person should visually locate one of the two flat spring catches that release the system from the rack glide. One catch is attached to each inner glide, as shown in the following figure.
