Bring the gantry into the scanner room
Rig the roughly 1.74-tonne gantry onto its dedicated bringing-in jig and walk it from the truck into the scanner room, using the jig's jack and its hand-pushing/steering bars to keep it under control and balanced the whole way in.

Safety
Hazard: Arranging for a transportation company to perform the bringing-in without providing them this manual's contents and precautions.
Consequence: (not stated in source)
Avoidance: When arranging for a transportation company to perform bringing-in, provide that company with the contents and precautions described in this manual.
Hazard: Lifting or lowering the gantry on the bringing-in jig without keeping it balanced (jacking-up step).
Consequence: The load is increased on the lower side, and the gantry may fall, resulting in personal injury or damage to the system.
Avoidance: When lifting or lowering the gantry, be sure to keep it balanced.
Hazard: Releasing the bringing-in jig's jack release valve quickly (instead of gradually) during the height-adjustment step.
Consequence: The gantry may fall, resulting in personal injury or damage to the system.
Avoidance: When releasing the jack valve, do so gradually to maintain the balance of the gantry.
Hazard: Opening the release valve quickly (instead of gradually) while lowering the gantry into its final installed position.
Consequence: The gantry may fall, resulting in personal injury or damage to the system.
Avoidance: The release valve must be opened gradually to maintain the balance of the gantry (to prevent the gantry from tilting).
Hazard: Loading the gantry onto, or removing it from, a hand pallet or a roller cart (without the bringing-in jig) and subjecting it to shock, e.g., dropping it. (Source files this under its "Precautions when the bringing-in jig is not used" CAUTION list; reclassified NOTICE here because the stated consequence is equipment damage only, not injury.)
Consequence: The equipment may be damaged.
Avoidance: Be extremely careful not to subject the gantry to shock (e.g., by dropping the gantry) when it is loaded onto or removed from a hand pallet or a roller cart.
Hazard: Pushing on the gantry's cover, instead of a solid part such as the arm or stand, when moving it without the bringing-in jig. (Source files this under its "Precautions when the bringing-in jig is not used" CAUTION list; reclassified NOTICE here because the stated consequence is equipment damage only, not injury.)
Consequence: The cover may be damaged.
Avoidance: When moving the gantry, push on a solid part such as the arm or stand. Do not push on the cover.
