Installation

4.3.1Handling the Unit While It is Packaged

•If possible, transport the XDF using a forklift or pallet jack. Otherwise use a crane with belts or cables and spreader bars to protect the XDF’s sides from damage.

•If using a forklift or pallet jack, make sure the forks (if adjustable) are spread to the widest dis- tance that fit under the skid. Also, ensure the fork length is suitable for the unit length.

•When moving the packaged XDF, do not lift it any higher than 6" (152mm) off the ground. Exer- cise great care if the XDF must be lifted higher than 6" (152mm); any personnel not directly involved in lifting the XDF must be at least 20' (5m) from the unit.

4.3.2Unpack the XDF

1.Remove the exterior stretch-wrap packaging material from around the XDF, exposing the protective corner and side packaging planks (see Figure 14).

2.Remove the corner and side packaging planks from the XDF, exposing the bag over the unit.

The bag may remain in place to protect the XDF from dust and scratches or removed for immedi- ate unit installation.

Ensure the metal ramps stay with the XDF for removal from the skid.

3.Remove the bag from the XDF when ready to remove the skid and install the unit.
