3.3.2 Lifting
W A R N I N G
HEAVY LOAD
Unbalanced loads can fall and loads can tip over. Failure to take proper lifting precautions increases risk of death, serious injury,
or equipment damage.
Never walk under suspended loads.
To guard against injury, wear personal protective equipment such as gloves, safety glasses, and safety shoes.
Be sure to use lifting devices with the appropriate weight rating. To determine a safe lifting method, check the weight of the
unit.
The angle from the top of the drive module to the lifting cables has an impact on the maximum load force on the cable. This
angle must be 65° or greater. Attach and dimension the lifting cables properly.
To determine a safe lifting method, check the weight of the unit in 8.9 Power Ratings, Weight, and Dimensions.
Ensure that the lifting device is suitable for the task.
If necessary, plan for a hoist, crane, or forklift with the appropriate rating to move the unit.
For lifting, use hoist rings on the unit, when provided.
3.3.3 Mounting
Procedure
Ensure that the strength of the mounting location supports the unit weight.
The drive allows side-by-side installation.
Locate the unit as near to the motor as possible. Keep the motor cables as short as possible.
Mount the unit vertically to a solid flat surface or to the optional backplate to provide cooling airflow.
Use the slotted mounting holes on the unit for wall mount, when provided.
3.3.3.1 Mounting with Mounting Plate and Railings
A mounting plate is required when mounted on railings.
