3 EQUIPMENT INSPECTION AND HANDLING
SAFETY INFORMATION
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. Unit weights are specified in Table 3.3 on
page21.
The center of gravity varies depending on the unit size and selected options. On CW146
through CW400 models, use the center-of-gravity indicators (see Figure 4.1 on the next page)
on the unit to determine the position of the slings. The slings must be equally spaced on either
side of the center-of-gravity indicator. CW038 through CW114 models do not include center-of-
gravity indicators, equally-space the slings to safely lift the equipment.
WARNING! Risk of improper moving. Can cause equipment damage, injury or death. 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 the tables in Table 3.3 on page21. Use the
center of gravity indicators on the unit to determine the position of the slings.
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. Cancause unit and/or structure damage. The unit may be too largeto fit
througha passageway while on or off the skid. Measure the unit and passageway dimensions, and refer to the
installationplans prior to moving the unit toverify clearances.
NOTICE
Risk of damage from forklift. Cancause unit damage. Keep tines of the forklift level and at a height suitable to
fit belowthe skid and/or unit to prevent exterior and/or underside damage.
