  • Reason
    When the gantry front cover is removed to allow servicing of components inside the gantry, cover dollies are used to manipulate the cover. during the removal or reattachment of the front cover, a bracket can contact an internal power supply cable and damage that cable’s insulation. this can expose the conductor of a 120vac power supply cable and electrify the cover dolly, thereby introducing the risk of an electrical shock hazard to the service personnel.
