Aquilion 16 (TSX-101A) — Gantry, source volume 2C201-160 (Installation)

Personnel

1 technician · Intermediate — drilling four anchor bolt holes with care around the rotating drill bit, leveling the gantry base against punch marks with dual plumb bobs using graduated copper/brass shim stock (four shim sizes, up to three thicknesses each) until there is no gap between the base and the floor, then torquing the four anchor bolts to a specified 196 N·m and witness-marking them with steel paint for later inspection. No electrical test equipment is called out. (Skill assessment derived from procedure content — not an OEM-stated skill level.)

Safety

CAUTION

Hazard: Operating a drill to bore the four anchor bolt holes

Consequence: Getting caught by the rotating drill

Avoidance: Take care to avoid getting caught when drilling the anchor bolt holes

NOTICE

Hazard: Leaving a gap between the gantry base and the floor instead of shimming it out; source labels this call-out "CAUTION" — reclassified NOTICE here because the stated outcome is image quality, not personal injury

Consequence: Reduced contact between the gantry and the installation surface, which degrades image quality

Avoidance: Adjust the shim position so there is no gap between the gantry base and the floor, using the minimum number of shims needed for the adjustment

NOTICE

Hazard: Discarding the shipping bracket removed from the main frame instead of storing it; source labels this call-out "NOTE" — mapped to NOTICE, the closest Z535 signal word to a manufacturer NOTE

Consequence: The bracket is unavailable when it is needed again for disassembly or carrying the gantry back out

Avoidance: Store the removed bracket carefully — it will be reused for disassembly or carrying-out
