Lifting the Unit
Follow these steps to prepare the unit for lifting:
1. Verify the equipment being used to lift the unit is in
good condition and has sufficient capacity. For
approximate weights, see Specifications.
2. Close and lock all hoods and doors.
3. See Figure 3-12. Stow the mast and lights in the
travel position as shown.
4. Always remain aware of people and objects around
the unit while preparing, maneuvering, and lifting
the unit.
• When lifting the unit, attach any slings, chains or
hooks directly to the central lift point (A).
• Use the forklift pockets (B) with care. Lift only from
the side. Avoid approaching the unit at an angle,
as this can permanently damage the forklift
pockets, tires, or cabinet. Verify the forklift tines
are clear of any obstructions before lifting.
