Use adequate handling aids when moving or installing the UPS.
The UPS is fitted with castor wheels for easy movement. Take care when the UPS is removed from its packing and
being wheeled across an uneven floor without the stabilisers fitted, that it does not tip over.

2.3
Location
Locate the UPStation GXT indoors in a controlled environment, where it cannot be accidentally disconnected. Locate it
in an area with unrestricted airflow, away from water, flammable liquids, gases, corrosives, or conductive contaminants.
Air vents are located at the front and rear of the UPS. Give consideration to the airflow requirements- (see below)- and
allow at least 150mm (6inches) free space around the UPS, with a minimum of 300mm (12inches) at the back to enable
easy operator access to the rear panel mounted input/output/battery circuit breakers.
Electrical maintenance/servicing requires access to both sides of the UPS, provide the necessary free space or use a
flexible wiring system to allow the UPS to be pulled forward.
Maintain an ambient temperature range of 0 - +40° centigrade (32-104° F)
NOTE-
UPS operation in temperatures above 25°C (77°F) reduces battery life.
