## A Word About Safety
The Rotator is constructed to be a rugged and versatile machine used for rotary motion applications. Do not let the small footprint fool you. The Rotator can move incredible loads at fast speeds. It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure a safe environment when moving scenery around on stage. The Rotator is not intended for lifting, so don’t install it sideways or at an angle with an imbalanced load (e.g. a turntable with a large scenic element located on the perimeter). If you have any questions or need help integrating the Rotator for your scenery application please reach out to .

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.creativeconners.com/docs/machinery/rotator/getting-started.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
