4.2 Handling the Unit while Packaged
If possible, ttransport the unit with a forklift or pallet jack. If that is not possible, use a crane with slings and
spreader bars that are rated for the weight of the unit..
When using a forklift or pallet jack:
• Ensure that the fork length is suitable for the unit length and, if adjustable, spread to the
widest allowable distance that will fit under the skid.
• When moving the packaged unit, and do not lift the unit any higher than 3in. (76 mm). All
personnel except those moving the unit must be kept 20ft(5m) or more from the unit while it
is being moved.
• If the unit must be lifted higher than 3in. (76 mm), all personnel not directly involved in moving
the unit must be 20ft (5m) or farther from the unit.
• Always refer to the location of the center-of-gravity indicators when lifting the unit from any
other side, see Figure 4.1 below.

4.3 Unpacking the Unit
1. Ship-loose items, if ordered, are secured to the unit package with stretch wrap. Remove the
stretch wrap and place the ship-loose box(es) to the side.
2. Remove the exterior stretch wrap packaging from around the unit and protective corner and
side packaging, as shown in Figure 4.2 on the facing page.
3. Remove the protective top and side package pads from the unit, exposing the bag over the
unit, see Figure 4.2 on the facing page.
NOTE: The bag may remain in place to protect from dust and to protect the unit panels, or it may be
removed for immediate installation.
