WARNING!
Danger of death from the fall of AHU casing
units.
If you overload lashing points or lifting gear, the load
may fall down. You or others could be killed.
–
Use lifting eyes only to move AHU casing units
up to a maximum weight of 1500 kg.
–
Use all the lashing points provided.
–
Use only adequate lifting gear and slings.
–
Stand clear of suspended loads.

1.
Remove the covers from the threaded holes in the
top corners of the AHU casing unit.
2.
Insert all lifting eyes (Fig. 6/1) completely into the
threaded holes.
Several lifting eyes are part of the supply
package; if you have used them for moving
other AHU casing units, you can reuse them.
3.
Hook the slings (Fig. 6/2) into the lifting eyes.
Note:
Maintain an angle greater than 45° between
the sling and the top of the unit.
Do not spread slings by more than 60°.
Ensure that the slings cannot damage the
AHU casing unit.
Suspend (distribute) the load symmetrically,
i.e. in such a way that its centre of gravity is
beneath the crane hook.
We recommend using a chain hoist and
spreader beam in the following cases:
–
If the correct angles for the slings cannot
be maintained.
–
If there are more than four lashing points
on a package.
4.
Slowly lift the load and start moving.
