Preparation for Mounting

Lift the unit into position with a
crane or forklift. Crane lift from the
ends of the support rails using a
spreader bar. When using a fork,
lift from under both support rails.

Ceiling Mounting

Hang ceiling supported units with
four 3/4-inch steel rods, one
connected to each corner of the
support rail. Use large heavy
gauge washers to insure the unit
remains attached to the rods.

Floor Mounting

Before unit startup, always
remove the shipping hold-down
screws from the bottom of the unit
to free the isolators. There is one
screw at each end of the hat
section. Use the plug buttons
(provided in the bag attached to
the unit) to cover the holes.
