LIFTING THE APPLIANCE
1.
USING A CRANE
The appliance arrives with four lifting eyes attached. When craning,
use a spreader bar with a two-legged sling rigged on each end. The
spreader bar should be of a sufficient length to keep the sling from
contacting the unit.
NOTE: Once lifting eyes are no longer needed, remove the lifting
eyes one at a time and be sure to replace the bolts that attach to
the appliance stand.
2.
USING A FORKLIFT
Be sure to use a forklift rated, and folks the minumum length, as
shown below. If necessary, fork extensions must be used so the forks
extend through the fork lift pockets to the opposite side of the stand.
Lift from either side as shown. Do not lift from the front or the back.
The appliance is very top heavy, so spread the forks as far apart as
possible.
3.
USING A PALLET JACK
Once the appliance has been removed from the delivery vehicle, it
can easily be moved on flat surfaces using a pallet jack. To lift the
appliance with a pallet jack, remove the front and rear angle iron stabilizers
from the base of the stand and place a stout 4x4 post through the fork pocket
as shown. The appliance is VERY TOP-HEAVY, MOVING THE appliance UP OR
DOWN A RAMP OR INCLINE ON A PALLET JACK IS NOT SAFE!
