2.4.2  Through Hole Mounting 
There are three stages in process of preparing a through hole mounting for the AC drive.
 
■
Stage 1: Installing the through-hole mounting bracket
 ● The AC drive enclosed in a sheet-metal housing have weights of 
35 kg or more. These units have eye bolts that allow a mechanical 
hoist to support the weight of the unit during installation. To prevent 
personal injury or damage to the equipment, you must t and use 
these eye bolts to support the drive during installation.
 ● Always use suitable help to carry, move or support heavy drive 
housings. The sheet-metal housings are heavy, and you risk personal 
injury or damage to equipment if you attempt to carry, move or 
support them without help.
 ● Lay the drive housing on a strong, at surface with control panel facing upwards. 
 ● Fit the supplied through-hole mounting brackets to the housing:
Fit brackets in correct orientation, depending on whether you are pushing the housing 
through the front or from the rear of the supporting surface.
For sheet metal housing, use the two supplied eye bolts to secure the bracket to the 
top of the housing.
