Requirement:

When using a crane with hoist, the four lifting lugs must be attached (see Section 6.3.2, 

page 17).

Additionally required mounting material (not included in the scope of delivery):

Four suitable screws to attach the Multicluster Box

Procedure:

1. Remove all fastening screws from the kick plates at the front and rear. Use a wrench with a 

TX 30 attachment.

2. Remove the kick plates and set them aside.

3. Retain the kick plates and the fastening screws for later use.
4. When using a forklift truck or pallet truck, slide the fork underneath the Multicluster Box and 

transport the Multicluster Box to the mounting location.

5. When using a crane with fork, slide the crane fork underneath the Multicluster Box and transport 

the Multicluster Box to the mounting location.

6. When using a crane with hoist, proceed as follows to transport the Multicluster Box:

– Attach the hoist to all four lifting lugs on the Multicluster Box.
– Raise the crane hook slowly until the hoist is taut.
– Ensure that the hoist is attached correctly.
– Raise the Multicluster Box and transport to the mounting location.

7. Attach the Multicluster Box to the foundation using four suitable screws.

Damage to the Multicluster Box due to inappropriate transport

If the Multicluster Box is set down on uneven surfaces, it may cause buckling so that the doors will 

no longer close properly. This can lead to moisture and dust penetrating the Multicluster Box.

Α Never place the Multicluster Box on a non-reinforced, uneven surface.
Α Never transport the Multicluster Box with mounted kick plates.
