5.2.4 Removing Liebert DS from Skid Using Rigging
1. Space the slings equidistant on either side of the center of gravity indicator (see Figure 36).
Figure 36 Locate center of gravity marker and place slings
2. Place the slings between the bottom rails of the Liebert DS and the top of the skid.
3. Use spreader bars or a similar device and padding to ensure the Liebert DS will not be damaged
when the unit is lifted. Lifting will force the slings toward the Liebert DS and the slings may
damage the unit unless it is properly protected.
4. Remove the lag bolts from the bracket securing the Liebert DS to the shipping skid.
5. Remove the brackets.
6. Lift the Liebert DS off the skid.
7. Move the skid from under the unit.
WARNING
Risk of improper moving. Can cause equipment damage, injury or death.
Use the center of gravity indicators (see Figure 36) on the unit to determine the position of
the slings. The center of gravity varies depending on the unit size and selected options.
The forklift’s tines must be equally spaced on either side of the center of gravity indicator.
NOTE
Unit is shown without packaging. These instructions may be applied with the outer packaging
in place.
NOTE
Depending on final installation location, the skid may need to remain under the unit.
Therefore, the lag bolts and brackets would not yet be removed.
