Chapter 2
Drive Installation
Round rollers can be used to assist in moving the drive to the installation site.
Once at the final site, the pipe rolling technique can be used to place the cabinet
in the desired position.
f
Never attempt to lift or move the drive by any means other than the methods
listed, as structural damage or personal injury could result. The following
methods of handling are recommended:
Overhead Lifting
1.
Attach rigging to the lifting angles on the top of the cabinetry.
2.
Do not pass ropes or cables through the support holes in the lifting angles.
Use slings with safety hooks or shackles.
3.
Select or adjust the rigging lengths to compensate for an unequal weight
distribution of load and maintain the drive in an upright position.
4.
To reduce the tension on the rigging and the compressive load on the
lifting device, do not allow the angle between the lifting cables/chains and
vertical to exceed 45 degrees.
ATTENTION:
Ensure that the load rating of the lifting device is sufficient to
safely raise the controller sections. Refer to the packing slip enclosed with
shipment for shipping weights.
WARNING:
Care must be exercised when using either a forklift or the pipe
rolling technique for positioning purposes to ensure that the equipment is not
scratched, dented or damaged in any manner. Always exercise care to stabilize
the drive during handling to guard against tipping and injury to personnel.
IMPORTANT
It is extremely important that the customer’s installation duties are
performed correctly. Any errors will cause damage to the Drive and
delays in commissioning.
ATTENTION:
Ensure that the load rating of the lifting device and
rigging is sufficient to safely raise the drive. Refer to shipping weights
on the packing slip enclosed with the shipment.
ATTENTION:
Drives may contain heavy equipment that could be
adversely affected by tilting.
