2. When unit is at its final location, remove shipping bolts
that secure unit to wood base mounts.
3. Install clevis connectors in lifting holes provided on the
unit. Attach lifting chains or cables to clevis connectors
as shown in Figure 7, p. 22. Each cable alone must be
strong enough to lift the chiller.
4. Attach cables to lifting beam as shown in Figure 7,
p. 22. See Table 7, p. 22 for rigging dimensions. The
lifting beam crossbar must be positioned so the lifting
cables do not contact unit piping or electrical panel
enclosure.
5. Connect an anti-rotation strap or cable loosely
between the lifting beam and the threaded coupling or
eyelet provided at the top of the compressor. Use an
eyebolt or clevis to secure the strap at the coupling or
eyelet.
Important: The anti-rotation strap is not a lifting chain,
but a safety device to ensure that the unit
cannot tilt during lifting.
6. Lift from above, or jack the unit per “Alternate Moving
Method,” p. 25. Remove the base mounts.
7. During final positioning of the unit, place the isolation
pads under the evaporator and condenser tube sheet
supports as shown in Figure 12, p. 26. See “Isolation
Pads,” p. 25 for information on isolation pads.
8. Level the unit as described in “Unit Leveling,” p. 25.
9. The unit is shipped with spacers on the compressor
mount that protect isolation pads during shipping and
handling. Before the unit is operated, remove the
spacers as indicated to prevent excessive noise.
• B Family Compressors:
• Remove qty 1 puck-type spacer under discharge
side of compressor (see Figure 8).
• Remove qty 2 flat washer spacers under suction
side of compressor (see Figure 9).
Note: Suction side of compressor WILL float.
