3.0 HANDLING
Upon receipt of the equipment, an inspection should be made. Before
commencement of lifting, ensure that normal equipment safety checks
have been carried out.
A unit / module should be removed from the vehicle using a fork lift
or crane. Always handle with care to avoid damage and distortion, and
where lifting slings are employed use spreaders to ensure slings do
not come into contact with the unit case, or control pack. Correctly
position slings to avoid twisting of the unit case and observe the
centre of gravity before the final lift is made.
The weight of the unit is
available on the unit rating plate.
Dependent on model and size, units may be supplied in single or multi-
modular sections. Handle each section individually do not stack for
lifting or storage.
