Forklifting Procedure
Important:
Step 1 through 4 must be followed to lift unit using
a forklift.
Steps to be taken when forklift is used:
1. Remove the stretch wrap from the unit as described
previously, leaving the unit mounted to the skid.
2. Remove the bolts that secure the unit to the
shipping skid.
3. Using a forklift, raise the unit enough to slightly
clear the skid, making sure the unit is level when
lifting.
4. If the unit is level, lift the unit off of the skid and
place in the installation location.
Rigging Procedure
Heavy Objects!
Failure to follow instructions or properly
lift unit could result in unit dropping and
possibly crushing operator/technician
which could result in death or serious
injury, and equipment or property-only
damage. Ensure that all the lifting
equipment used is properly rated for
the weight of the unit being lifted. Each
of the cables (chains or slings), hooks,
and shackles used to lift the unit must
be capable of supporting the entire
weight of the unit. Lifting cables (chains
or slings) may not be of the same
length. Adjust as necessary for even
unit lift.
Improper Unit Lift!
Failure to properly lift unit could result
in unit dropping and possibly crushing
operator/technician which could result
in death or serious injury, and
equipment or property-only damage.
Test lift unit approximately 24 inches to
verify proper center of gravity lift point.
To avoid dropping of unit, reposition
lifting point if unit is not level.
Note: Do not lift unit from above unless spreader
bars are used.
