ProcedureGantry — Tilt/StandTroubleshootingEmergency
Manually tilt the gantry in case of malfunction
When the tilt drive fails and the gantry can't be tilted under motor power, use this emergency method to tilt it by hand — remove the side and base covers, then turn the power cylinder's own motor output shaft nut directly with a wrench.

Personnel
1 technician · Basic to Intermediate — removing side and base covers with hand tools, then turning a shaft nut with a socket wrench or impact wrench to drive the gantry's tilt by hand instead of under motor power; the tool use itself is basic, but this manual method has no automatic stop, so judging how far to turn the nut is the added skill (skill assessment derived from procedure content — not an OEM-stated skill level)
