4 Equipment Inspection and Handling
WARNING! Risk of improper moving. Can cause serious injury or death. Building and equipment damage may
also result. Use only lifting equipment that is rated for the unit weight by an OSHA-certified rating
organization. The center of gravity varies depending on the unit size and selected options. The slings must
be equally spaced on either side of the center of gravity indicator. Shipping weights and unit weights are
listed in Table 3.3 on page24 . Use the center of gravity indicators on the unit to determine the position of
the slings.
WARNING! Risk of top heavy unit falling over. Improper handling can cause equipment damage, injury, or
death. Read all of the following instructions and verify that all lifting and moving equipment is rated for the
weight of the unit before attempting to move, lift, remove packaging from, or prepare the unit for installation.
CAUTION: Risk of contact with sharp edges, splinters, and exposed fasteners. Can cause injury. Only properly
trained and qualified personnel wearing appropriate, OSHA approved PPE should attempt to move, lift,
remove packaging from, or prepare the unit for installation.
NOTICE
Risk of passageway interference. Can cause unit and/or structure damage. The unit may be too large to fit
through a passageway while on or off the skid. Measure the unit and passageway dimensions, and refer to the
installation plans prior to moving the unit to verify clearances.
NOTICE
Risk of damage from forklift. Can cause unit damage. Keep tines of the forklift level and at a height suitable to fit
below the skid and/or unit to prevent exterior and/or underside damage.
