Lifting brackets are provided along the base rail on
both sides of the unit. Pass the lifting cables through
the 1.5-inch diameter holes in the brackets and install
spreader bars between the cables above unit. A label
on the unit base rail illustrates proper lifting procedure.
When rigged properly, the unit will balance at its center
of gravity.
Perform a test lift to ensure balance, equilibrium, and
unit levelness is maintained. Adjust rigging as required
based on initial test lift. Test adjusted rigging with
second test lift. Continue test lifting unit until
satisfactory results are obtained. Do not proceed with
final lift until the unit remains static, level and stable
during test lift. See Figure 11, p. 13.
NNoottee:: Maintain unit level throughout the lifting process
or structural damage may occur.
