CRUSH AND ELECTROCUTION HAZARD
Use adequate safety measures when lifting and assembling
heavy components. Consult site safety personnel for rec-
ommendations. Location should be clear of all obstruc-
tions, such as utility lines and building clearances.
3.1 Receiving Inspection
The PSG system components are thoroughly checked and tested at
the factory. Although precautions have been taken to ensure against
shipping damage, be sure to carefully inspect contents upon deliv-
ery. Notify your carrier immediately and enter a claim for any damage
found. Check the material received against shipping papers for any
shortages.
NOTE: Damage to cartons, skids, shrink wrap, etc., may indicate that
rough handing has caused internal damage. Careful inspec-
tion, including the opening of all shipping containers, should
precede acceptance of equipment.
Certain items (e.g., detergent containers) may be drop shipped and/
or shipped separately. Be sure to inspect such items before mark-
ing and storing. Open all cartons. Notify the trucking company and
Parker immediately if cartons or any other shipping list items are
missing. Handling SMOG-HOG skidded systems and subassem-
blies are usually shipped to the job site on flatbed trailers. Most can
be handled by forklift truck but final placement may require a crane
refer to unit System Layout Drawing for weights, sizes and notes
detailing responsibilities of the installing contractor.
3.2 Unloading By Forklift
As shown in Figure 3A, the PSG unit, duct transition or skidded
system may be unloaded by use of forklift trucks. Extreme caution
should be exercised to guarantee that the load is lifted at its center of
gravity. When placing the unit on the ground, blocks should be locat-
ed under the component exactly where placed during shipment. The
preferred method of forklift removal of large components involves
using a spreader bar. Refer to Figure 3B. This guarantees vertical pull
on lifting eyes/lugs on the system or component.
3.3 Unloading By Crane
Handling of large, skidded PSG systems is a job for a competent
rigger. Figure 3C is for a typical PSG unit and Figure 3D illustrates
lifting lugs for a skidded system. Spreader bars should be located
over the two front lugs and the two rear lugs of the system skid, with
a spacer bar between them to assure vertical pull. Lugs are located
to minimize tilting during lift.
CAUTION
When systems are shipped disassembled, certain
sections may be fastened together to minimize truck
space. Remove shipping bolts prior to handling these
components.
