Gantry safety-mechanism and interlock checks — 1.36/1.37
Confirm that the gantry's core safety mechanisms actually do what they are supposed to do — the R and L operation-panel emergency switches power the whole gantry off, and turning the tilt-limit microswitch ON cuts the 200 VAC power systems (item 1.36) — then perform the full interlock check by way of a separate appendix procedure (item 1.37).

Personnel
1 technician · Basic for item 1.36 — operate the R and L operation-panel emergency switches and the tilt-limit microswitch, and confirm the stated power-off response by observation; no meter, tool, or disassembly is called out in source for 1.36 itself. Item 1.37 is a pointer, not a self-contained check: source directs you to a separate appendix procedure ("Interlock Test Method") whose own skill/tool demands are not reproduced here — see Related. (Skill assessment derived from the procedure content — not an OEM-stated skill level.)
