When lifting the ESS, the following precautions must be taken:
 Select appropriate lifting equipment, rigging, and shackles according to the site conditions and mechanical equipment.
 Ensure the crane and rope meet the load-bearing requirements.
 Slings and shackles must be checked and in good condition before entering the site.
 Before lifting, reconfirm that the specifications and quality of the slings and shackles meet the requirements needed.
 See Figure 3-1 for the locations of the lifting points for the rack.
 When installing or removing a hoisting device, do NOT drag the rack; this can damage the rack.
 Transfer the rack to the designated location by means of forklift transfer or hoisting (the recommended method is
hoisting).
 The lifting lugs must be repainted if damaged after lifting.
