To allow for clearance through
hospital doorways, the
gantry/generator crate will
probably need to be taken apart
either outside or at the loading
dock
The gantry and generator are
already connected together

Gantry will need to be raised
high enough to allow the wood
blocks to be removed.
The lifting screws attach the base
plate to the pellet using the red flat
metal piece). You remove these
lifting screws from here…….
…….and screw it down here. Use
the red flat metal piece for the lifting
screw base

There are ramps to allow the
generator and gantry to roll off
the skid.
Remember the Generator and
the Gantry are cabled together
It is probably best to remove at least
this cover on the generator. The
reason for this is to allow more
clearance for the cables that exit
underneath the generator. They
won’t drag on the ground and get
beat up as much!
