SECTION 2 – INSTALLATION
RIGGING AND UNIT HANDLING
General
The units are shipped with a protective covering, which
should remain in place while the unit is moved to its
final location.
The unit weights are listed in
.
Refer to these weights when selecting a crane for rig-
ging. Contact your Johnson Controls Sales Office if
you have any questions regarding unit weights.
Use the following guidelines to select a suitable loca-
tion for the unit installation:
1. Determine the approximate center of gravity for
lifting safety before lifting the unit.
2. Always test-lift the unit to determine the exact
unit balance and stability before hoisting it to the
installation location.
3. Ensure that all rigging and lifting equipment is
operated by qualified personnel.
Do not leave the unit exposed to extreme
ambient temperatures with protective
coating in place. This could cause a high
refrigerant pressure situation within the
unit.
If the unit is stored in a location that expe-
riences below freezing temperatures, pre-
cautions are required to prevent damage
to water carrying components to prevent
freezing. Consult the factory for further
information.
Never allow any part of the unit to fall
during unloading or moving as this may
result in serious damage.
Ensure lifting equipment capacity ex-
ceeds unit weight by an adequate safety
factor to prevent injury, death, or unit
damage.
4. Ensure the rigging equipment and material have
the required capacity for the job and that all items
are in good condition.
5. These instructions are recommendations only as
other configurations may be more suitable than
shown based on rigging equipment used.
6. Ensure the lifting straps, cables, or chains used,
clear the sides and corner edges of the unit. If not
damage to the unit may occur.
7. Before listing the unit, remove bolts used to se-
cure the unit to the shipping timbers. Do not lift
the unit with the shipping timbers in place.
8. Use 2" strap hook or 3/8" or better shackle.
9.
On some coil sections, the filter and filter rack
may have to be removed to avoid damage during
lifting.
10. The unit base frame accepts dollies or Johnson
bars for transporting the unit.
11. Furniture dollies can be placed at both ends of the
chassis or at the one end and a Johnson bar used
at the other end for maneuvering.
Do not attempt to install dollies in the cen-
ter of the unit. Units can become unstable
and tip over causing injury.
Do not use hooks to lift unit or hook into
open channels to lift unit. This could
cause unit damage.
