3.1 Packaging Material
All material used to package this unit is recyclable. Please save for future use or dispose of the
material appropriately.
3.2 Handling the Unit while Packaged
If possible, transport the unit with a forklift or pallet jack. If that is not possible, use a crane with slings and
spreader bars that are rated for the weight of the unit.
When using a forklift or pallet jack:
• Ensure that the fork length is suitable for the unit length and, if adjustable, spread to the
widest allowable distance that will fit under the skid.
• When moving the packaged unit, lift the unit from the end with the indicated labeling, and do
not lift the unit any higher than 4in. (102 mm). Ensure that the opposite end of the skid still
touches the floor. The unit must be pulled by the forklift. All personnel except those moving
the unit must be kept 12ft (3.7m) or more from the unit while it is being moved.
• If the unit must be lifted higher than 4in. (102 mm), all personnel not directly involved in
moving the unit must be 20ft (5m) or farther from the unit.
• Always refer to the location of the center-of-gravity indicators when lifting the unit, see Figure
3.1 below.
