Forklifting Considerations for Indoor Units Size 3-30
NOTICE:
Equipment Damage!
Improper use of fork lifts could result in equipment damage. Fork lifting from any location other
than that recommended by Trane and indicated on the unit labels could result in unit damage.
Trane is not responsible for equipment damage resulting from improper forklifting practices.
Note: Do not use a forklift on outdoor air handlers or indoor air handlers/subassemblies larger
than size 30.
For unit sizes 3-30, a forklift may be used to lift a single section or small subassembly, provided the
forks extend under both ends of the base frame, or as indicated in Figure 10. The forks should not
contact the bottom of the air handler. Units should only be lifted from the proper end identified by
the lifting label on the unit.
A lifting crane or other means should be used for larger units where forks cannot extend under both
base rails.
Unit Placement and Assembly
If the air handler ships in subassemblies or in individual sections, some assembly is required,
including:
• Ceiling-suspended indoor unit assembly; see See “Ceiling Suspension for Indoor Air Handlers
Sizes 3-57” on page 30.
• Section-to-section assembly; see “Section-to-Section Assembly” on page 32.
WARNING
Toxic Fumes!
Keep open flame away from unit exterior or interior. Do not weld or use cutting torch on the
exterior or interior of the unit. The unit contains polyurethane insulation. Failure to keep open
flame away form unit exterior or interior could result in the production of toxic gas that could
result in death or serious injury.
