Inverter Mounting
WARNING:

damage to equipment, personal injury or death.
-
Note the center of gravity to guide lifting methods.
-
Do not tilt the pallet or inverter while moving it.
-
Safety chains and straps must be used to prevent any possible tilting or shifting
of the inverter in any direction while being lifted.
WARNING:
Do not install the inverter on or over combustible surfaces or materials.
3.3
Removing Inverter from Pallet and Moving Inverter Into Place
It is recommended to keep the inverter secured to the pallet and moved as close as possible to
the final location prior to removing the pallet. To remove the securing bolts use a 9/16” socket
and/or wrench. Completely remove each nut and bolt from the pallet.
The center of gravity of the inverter is well to the right of center and is marked with a label on
the left door of the transformer enclosure (right half of the enclosure).
Use an 8,000lb capable forklift for the SGI 500and SGI 500PE or 6,000lb capable forklift for the
SGI 225-300 if lifting from the bottom. The forks should be set to an inside spacing so they fit
just to the left of the inverter's 4” x 4" aluminum tube feet.
Before lifting, make sure forks are against the left edges of both the right most foot and center
foot and install safety chains (with failsafe hooks) to prevent inverter from sliding off forklift
(see following diagrams).
