5.2 Caution on handling

1) Strong vibration and shock can damage the drive.

It may cause an error. Do not use or store the
drive under such conditions.
2) We recommend handling the drive on side frame,
portion of mounting spots, of the drive as well as
possible. If you handle like pressing the top or
the bottom of the drive, it may cause damage of
heads and PWB.
3) Do not disassemble the drive by yourself because
of an adjusted product. If you do so, we can not
assure you of adjusted accuracy.
