Remove the Linear Thruster from the Shipping Container
1.
Consider the weight of the linear thruster.
Depending on the design, the linear thruster can weigh up to 106.7 kg (235.2 lb).
2.
Attach two eye bolts to connector side of the linear thruster.
3.
Select or adjust the rigging lengths to compensate for the weight distribution.
The angle between the lifting cables must not exceed 45° angle from vertical as shown.
Maintain the linear thruster in a balanced position.
4.
Test lift the linear thruster a minimal amount.
Verify that it is properly secured and balanced before moving it further. The lift points
may not be equidistant from the center of gravity.
5.
Lift the linear thruster.
6.
Visually inspect the linear thruster for damage.
Closely examine the mounting surface, frame, and slider for defects.
7.
Notify the carrier of shipping damage immediately.
ATTENTION:
Linear thrusters that exceed 22.7 kg (50.0 lb) require a two man lift.
Do not lift the linear thruster by the slider. Use supplied eye bolts when ever possible.
ATTENTION:
Do not pass ropes or cables through the eye bolts. Use hooks or shackles
with load-rated slings.
ATTENTION:
Do not loosen the shipping and handling set screw until the linear thruster
is installed in your application. The slider is free to move once the shipping set screw is
loosened. Use additional care when working with the linear thruster after the set screw
is loosened. Unexpected slider movement can cause personal injury.
