Refer to Figure 9, p. 14 and Table 1, p. 13 for typical
unit operating weights rigging before proceeding.
1. Remove the shipping crate from around the unit.
Do not remove the crating from the top of the unit.
2. Rig the unit as shown in Figure 9, p. 14 . Attach
adequate strength lifting slings to all four lifting
brackets in the unit base rail. Do not use cables,
chains, or slings except as shown.
3. Install a lifting bar, as shown in Figure 9, p. 14 , to
protect the unit and to facilitate a uniform lift. The
minimum distance between the lifting hook and the
top of the unit should be 7 feet.
4. Test-lift the unit to ensure it is properly rigged and
balanced, make any necessary rigging adjustments.
5. Lift the unit and position it into place.
6. Downflow units; align the base rail of the unit with
the curb rail while lowering the unit onto the curb.
Make sure that the gasket on the curb is not
damaged while positioning the unit.
