Rigging the Bottom Section: Extended Lifts
The preferred method for extended lifts is to use slings under the unit as shown in Figures 4 and 5. Spreader bars should always
be used between the cables at the top of the section to prevent damage to the upper portion of the basin. Safety slings and skids
should be removed before final positioning of the unit. See Table 2 on page 3 for minimum “H” dimensions.
Application of Sealer Tape
Once the bottom section has been set on the supporting steel and bolted in place, the top flanges should be wiped down to remove
any dirt or moisture. Sealer tape should be placed over the mounting hole centerline on the side flanges along the entire length of
all sides. Apply two strips of sealer tape, one partially overlapping the other, on the entire length of the
end
flanges.
The sealer tape should overlap on the corners as shown in Figure 6. Do not splice the sealer tape along the end flanges and
preferably not on the side flanges if it can be avoided.
Always remove the paper backing from the sealer tape.
