Transport by Lift Truck
PowerFlex 755T products are bolted to shipping skids that facilitate transport
by a lift truck. If you are using a lift truck, refer to the following procedure.
1. Lift only from underneath the shipping skid. Position the PowerFlex
755T product on the forks so that the load is balanced and does not tilt.
PowerFlex 755T products are top- and front-heavy.
2. Keep the load against the load backrest of the lift truck. Use a belt to
secure the PowerFlex 755T product to the lift truck. Tilt the load a few
degrees backward toward the lift truck mast.
3. Start and stop the lift truck gradually and slowly, avoiding jerky
movements. When traveling with the load, drive slowly with the forks
carried as low as possible, consistent with safe operation.

ATTENTION: Verify that the lift truck can handle the weight and size of the
PowerFlex 755T product safely. Shipment weights can be found on the
packing slip that is included with each shipment. Approximate weights are
listed on page 20
.
IMPORTANT The use of a belt is to help prevent the load from slipping forward
during a sudden stop. Do not excessively tighten the belt. Belt
tension must not bend, buckle, or otherwise distort the enclosure.
Belt the enclosure to
the carriage before
lifting and moving.
