All material used to package this unit is recyclable. Please save for future use or dispose of the

4.2 Handling the Unit while Packaged
Transport the unit with a forklift or pallet jack. See Moving 600-mm (24-in.) Models Using Rigging below
for additional handling option for the 600-mm (24-in) unit.
When using a forklift or pallet jack:
• Make sure that the forks (if adjustable) are spread to the widest allowable distance that will fit
under the skid.
• Make sure the fork length is suitable for the skid length. Skid length for 600-mm (24-in.) model
is 60in (1524mm). Skid length for 300-mm (12-in.) model is 54in. (1372mm)
• Do not lift the packaged unit any higher than 4in. (102 mm). All personnel except those
moving the unit must be kept 12ft (3.7m) or more from the unit while it is being moved.
• If the unit must be lifted higher than 4in. (102 mm), all personnel not directly involved in
moving the unit must be 20ft (5m) or more from the unit.
• Always refer to the location of the center-of-gravity indicators when lifting the unit, see Figure
4.1 below.
