•
The load frame is bolted to the shipping skid.
•
There are no loose accessories on the shipping skid.
•
Ensure that there is adequate ceiling clearance to allow the load frame to be lifted
into a vertical position, including clearance for the crane (refer to
Table 16 on
page 62 ).
•
Operators of any lifting equipment have the appropriate licenses and have complied
with your local safety standards (e.g. the appropriate training required by OSHA in
the U.S.).
Procedure
1. Remove all packaging material from the frame but DO NOT remove any of the bolts
and brackets that attach the frame to the shipping skid.
2. Attach the two lifting slings to the crosshead and secure them to the crane hook as
shown in Figure 18 on page 64 . If you use chains in lieu of lifting slings, wrap protec-
tive material around the crosshead to protect the crosshead from scratching and
marring. Chains can also cause damage to other parts of the frame, the top plate for
example; be sure to wrap protective material around all vulnerable components.
3. Install two M16 hoist bolts into the frame base and attach two additional slings to the
bolts, as shown in Figure 18 on page 64 .
