3.1.5 Installation of the Safedock Unit
(a) Check with the Project Manager for the exact height and alignment for every
installation, as the stand requirements may differ. For example, verify alignment
if mounted off-centre or if more than one centreline are to be used.
(b) Attach appropriate lifting straps to the unit at suitable positions.

For T1, use a lifting strap and lift the unit
via the build in eyebolt at the top. Lift
carefully and do not jerk the unit while
lifting.


For T2/3, use a lifting strap with load
support from underneath:

Place a lifting strap around the
sides/bottom of the unit.

Attach the sunshade sides as
temporary lifting strap holding plates
to the unit (side brackets/upper) to
secure the lifting strap in place.
Note : Do not install the entire T2/3
sunshade until after the unit is fastened to
the support fixture, to avoid lift damage!
