Installing the X2 Continued

 

Lifting the X2 

1)  Using a forklift approach the X2 from the non-column side end.  Insert forks into the 

lifting pockets being careful not to damage the air hose of valve. 

WARNING!  

The X2 is top heavy and has a center of gravity near the vertical 

column.  Use lifting pockets to assure safe loading and unloading of the X2.  

WARNING!  

The complex center of gravity makes hoisting the X2 difficult and 

dangerous, serious injury or death may occur.  

ONLY 

people trained in making 

such complex lifts, with the proper equipment may attempt hoisting the unit.  

 

 

2)  Place the unit onto the bed of the truck, in between the wheel wells and against the 

cab end of the bed.  If a flatbed is being used, the unit should be loaded from the 

rear, moved to the front of the bed and centered between sides of the deck.  

NOTICE

:  The folded assembled length of the unit is 

126” (10 

ft 6 in) and 

must 

NEVER

 be place sideways on a flatbed for transport.
