Lifting weights
Note that weight can vary depending on unit configuration at the time of lifting. See Figure 11 for
lifting location information. All published weights in this manual are approximate values at the time
of publication. Refer to the unit nameplate or submittal documents for unit shipping weight.
Moving the chiller
Before moving the unit, ensure that the installation site is suitable for installing the unit and can
easily support the weight of the unit and all associated services.
Lifting using accessory lifting lugs
Units are provided with lifting holes in the base frame that accept the accessory lifting lug set as
shown in Figure 10. Insert the lugs (RH and LH) into the respective holes in the base frame. Turn
the lugs so that the spring loaded pin engages into the hole and the flanges on the lug lock behind
the hole. The lugs must be attached to the cables or chains using shackles or safety hooks. See
Figure 10 for lug installation technique and Figure 11 for installation locations.
