Chains/cables must be securely attached to hooks, eyes, and
shackles, and the spanner/spreader . Prior to lifting, check the
security of the rigging assembly . Use the crane to bring the
assembly taut without raising the Recombiner from the floor .
Check the security of the rigging again . Make any necessary
adjustments before moving the equipment .
Slowly lift equipment to the minimum height from the floor required
to safely relocate it . Move the equipment to approximately 2 inches
above its resting place . Safely make a visual inspection of the
rigging . If necessary, return the Recombiner to its original resting
place to make any modifications necessary to the rigging .
Forklifts
A forklift may be used for handling Recombiners . Only personnel
trained for that equipment should operate forklifts .
Be sure that the ground surface is solid and follow all safety
recommendations for operating the forklift . Be aware of wet or
slick floors and surfaces, which can affect stopping and turning .
Check labeling on the Recombiner packaging material for
additional information .
Verify that the forklift load and lifting ratings are within safe limits for
the weight of the Recombiner being lifted .
Do not lift Recombiner from the front . Damage to components, such
as breakers and metering, can result .
WARNING
RECOMBINER IS TOP-HEAVY. USE CARE IN HANDLING.

Always use caution when moving Recombiners, which are
top-heavy equipment .
The forks or blades of the forklift must run through the entire
Recombiner shipping length and be extended to the outermost
sides of the wooden shipping skids (see
Figure 5
) .
Secure the Recombiner with a safety strap, belt, or leash approved
for this purpose . Take care in positioning the strap to ensure stability
of the equipment and confirm that it is not in an area that will
damage components .
Slowly lift equipment to the minimum height from the floor required
to safely relocate it .
Rollers
Rollers should only be used on solid and flat surfaces, such as a
finished floor . Only use rollers that are suitable for this purpose .
Storage
Recombiners, which cannot be immediately installed and energized,
should be stored in an indoor dry, clean, and heated environment .
Do not store in areas where conditions such as dampness, changes
in temperature, cement dust, or a corrosive atmosphere are present .
Should the storage area be prone to moisture condensation, take
precaution by making sure that the Recombiner is covered and
install temporary heating equipment . Approximately 250 watts per
vertical section are required for average conditions .
Recombiners should be placed on solid, level surfaces for storage .
Recombiner sections must remain in an upright position at all times .
Laying Recombiner sections on their back or side can result in
permanent damage to components and the Recombiner structure .
Outdoor Recombiners are not weather resistant until completely
and properly installed and energized . Additionally, using temporary
heating as described above should keep an un-energized outdoor
Recombiner dry internally .
