5. Once the isolators are in place, lower the chiller—
working from end to end—in small increments to
maintain stability.
6. When lift is complete, detach the clevis connections
and safety chain.
Special Lift Requirements
If the chiller cannot be moved using a standard chiller lift,
consider the following:
• When job site conditions require rigging of the chiller
at an angle greater than 45° from horizontal (end-to-
end), the unit may require removal of the compressor.
Contact Trane or an agent of Trane specifically
authorized to perform start-up and warranty of Trane
®
products regarding the disassembly and reassembly
work. For m ore information, refer to
“ Factory Warranty
Information,” p. 4
.
Note: Disassembly and reassembly work includes
dowel-pinning the compressor and removing it
from the unit. Contact Trane or an agent of
Trane specifically authorized to perform start-
up and warranty of Trane
®
products for specific
rigging instructions. Do NOT attempt to rotate
the chiller onto its side.
• When lifting the chiller is either impractical or
undesirable, attach cables or chains to the jacking slots
shown in
Figure 5, p. 18; then push or pull the unit
across a smooth surface. Should the chiller be on a
shipping skid, it is not necessary to remove the skid
from the chiller before moving it into place.
• If removal of the compressor or economizer assembly
is necessary to move the chiller to the operating

NOTICE:
Oil Loss!
Failure to prevent oil migration out of the oil tank could
result in equipment failure or property-only damage. To
prevent oil migration out of the oil tank during lifting
procedures, remove the oil from the oil tank if the unit
will be lifted at any angle greater than 15° from
horizontal end-to-end. If oil is allowed to run out of the
oil tank into other areas of the chiller, it will be
extremely difficult to return the oil to the oil tank even
during operation.
NOTICE:
Equipment Damage!
Moving the chiller using a fork lift could result in
equipment or property-only damage. Do not use a fork
lift to move the chiller!
NOTICE:
Compressor Alignment!
Failure to preserve compressor alignment could result
in equipment or property-only damage. Lifting the
compressor/motor assembly from the shells without
factory-installed doweling in the compressor casting
flanges could result in misalignment of the compressor
castings.
