start installation.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
Do not touch electrically live
parts or electrodes with your
skin or wet clothing.
Insulate yourself from the work
and ground.
• Always wear dry insulating gloves.
Only qualified personnel should install, use, or ser-
vice this equipment.
SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION
Place the Idealarc R3R in a dry location where clean
cooling air can flow freely in through the front louvers
and out through the rear louvers. Keep dust, dirt, and
other foreign materials that can be drawn into the
machine to a minimum. Failure to observe these pre-
cautions can lead to excessive operating temperatures
and nuisance shut-downs.
LIFTING
FALLING EQUIPMENT can cause
injury.
Do not lift this machine using the
lift bail if it is equipped with a heavy
accessory such as a trailer or a gas
cylinder.
• Lift only with equipment of adequate lifting capacity.
• Be sure the machine is stable when lifting.
• Do not stack more than three high.
• Do not stack the R3R on top of any other machine.
A permanent lift bail is located at the top of the
machine, positioned at the center of gravity for stable
lifting. R3R weights are as follows:
R3R-300 350 pounds (159 kilograms)
R3R-400 402 pounds (182 kilograms)
R3R-500 446 pounds (202 kilograms)
TILTING
Place the machine on a secure, level surface. Any sur-
faces you place it on other than the ground must be
firm, non-skid, and structurally sound.
STACKING
Idealarc R3Rs may be stacked three high. The bottom
machine must be on a stable, hard, level surface capa-
ble of supporting the weight of up to three machines
(1350 pounds/1608 kilograms). Be sure that the two
pins in the roof of the bottom machine fit into the holes
in the base of the machine above. The lift bail is posi-
tioned so that it fits without interference under the
base of the second machine.
Do not stack heavier machines on top of lighter
machines. For example, do not place an R3R-500 on
top of an R3R-400 or an R3R-400 on top of an
R3R-300.
