HOWEVER, THIS IS FOR EMERGENCY OPERATION ONLY
BECAUSE THE BUMPERS ARE NO LONGER ACTIVE AND WILL
NOT STOP THE PEDESTAL IF THERE IS ANOTHER COLLISION. IT
IS NOT SAFE TO OPERATE THE PEDESTAL WITHOUT COLLISION
BUMPER PROTECTION.
As soon as possible, check the collision bumper system and circuit calibration
(electro-optical bumper type only - see Chapter 4) to determine the cause of the
failure and take corrective action.
Pinch Points
Particular care should be exercised around possible points where you could get
pinched, such as the tilt cradle. Here, the forces can be somewhat greater, due to
the short lever arm.
Sharp Edges
If the lens, teleprompter or other camera attachments have sharp edges that
could cause injury, make sure they are padded or protected.
