Installing the Cabinet on a Concrete Pad
The cabinet is equipped with two lifting details on which to attach slings to lift and move the cabinet using a boom crane,
derrick, or backhoe. Use wire rope slings and appropriately rated connecting links or lifting hooks. The lifting device and
slings you use must be capable of lifting at least a 300 lb. working load. When using a lifting device to place the cabinet,
follow these guidelines:
• Check the two lifting details on top of the cabinet to ensure that they are securely attached.
• Attach the lifting slings to the lifting device; attach the other sling ends to the cabinet lifting details with connecting
links or hooks.
• Do not disconnect the slings from the cabinet until after it rests securely on the pad.
CAUTION!
Installing the cabinet requires safe handling to ensure that no injury to personnel or damage to the
cabinet occurs. Do not place any part of your body under the load during lifting. Follow local safety practices for
lifting and moving heavy loads.
ALERT!
Isolation mat usage is mandatory for concrete pad installations. Failure to use the supplied isolation
mat can accelerate cabinet corrosion and may void the Clearfield cabinet warranty.
Before installing the cabinet, verify that the doors are locked in the open position (wind brace engaged). Verify that the bat
-
tery compartment door and battery tray have been removed.
Note:
If you are installing the optional battery compartment riser to support a second 155 Ah battery string, install the riser
onto the concrete pad first, and then mount the cabinet (with battery compartment) onto the riser. For detailed instructions
on installing the cabinet onto the riser, see Installing a 155 Ah Battery Compartment Riser.
