6 Mechanical Installation Considerations
6.1 Storage
Store the drive in a dry location. Keep the equipment sealed in its packaging until installation. Refer to chapter Ambient Conditions for
recommended ambient temperature.
Periodic forming (capacitor charging) is not necessary during storage unless storage exceeds 12 months.
6.2 Lifting the Unit
Always lift the drive using the dedicated lifting eyes. To avoid bending the lifting holes, use a bar.

in death or serious injury.
l Ensure that the lifting equipment is in proper working condition.
l See chapter Product Overview and Features for the weight of the different enclosure sizes.
l Maximum diameter for bar: 20 mm (0.8 in).
l The angle from the top of the drive to the lifting cable: 60° or greater.
