Page: 5 / 54

Special precautions

The unit is heavy: wear safety shoes and ideally use a vacuum lifter for handling
safety.

All handling operations will require at least two people (unpacking, lifting,
installation within a rack system).

Straps are provided only for removing the UPS from its packaging (do not use
the straps to carry the unit) improper handling may cause personal injury
and/or damage to the UPS.
- keep 12in / 30cm minimum distance between the straps
- lift the unit carefully and keep it at low height
- keep the unit horizontal during unpacking.

If the UPS is to remain unpowered for an extended period, the UPS must be
energized for a minimum period of 24 hours at least once every 6 months (for a
normal storage temperature less than 25°C). This charges the battery, avoiding
possible irreversible damage.

During the replacement of the Battery Module, it is imperative to use the same
type and number of element as the original Battery Module provided with the
UPS to maintain operational performance and safety.
