REMOVAL OF UNIT FROM SKID

SHIPPING DAMAGE

Upon receipt of equipment, the carton should be checked for external signs of shipping damage. The skid must remain attached to the unit until the unit is ready for installation. If damage is found, the receiving party must contact the last carrier immediately, preferably in writing, requesting inspection by the carrier’s agent.

UNIT REMOVAL FROM SKID

WARNING

This unit is heavy and requires more than one person to handle and remove from the skid. Check unit wheels to ensure that wheels are locked before removing from skid. Extreme caution must be taken to prevent injury to personnel and damage to the unit.

It is recommended that the unit not be removed from the skid with a fork lift.

The shipping brackets on each side of the unit must be removed and discarded. See Figure 2-A on Page 5. The return air grille panel can be removed to provide a place to hold the unit. The unit can be slid forward on the skid until the front wheels hang over the edge of the skid. See Figure 2-B. The unit can be tipped forward and slid down the edge of the skid until the front wheels touch the ground. See Figure 2-C. The wheels will not roll. They are shipped from the factory locked so they will not roll. The back of the skid will have to be held down to keep it from tipping up. The skid can be slid out from under the unit. The unit can then be set upright.

HANDLING UNIT AFTER REMOVAL FROM SKID

WARNING

Exercise extreme caution when pushing the unit on the rollers. Handle and push from the lower 1/3 of the unit. Insure that debris is not on the floor where the unit is to be moved on the rollers. Failure to do so could result in the unit tipping over and causing bodily injury and/or damage to the unit.

The unit will have to be turned sideways and removed from the skid to fit through a 36” doorway. If the door height allows, the unit can be slid sideways through the door.

If the unit can not be slid through the door, then the unit will have to be put on a cart and tipped down to roll through the door. It is recommended that an appliance cart by used with a strap to hold the unit on the cart. The wheels of the unit must be locked. If the wheels were allowed to roll, the unit could roll off the cart. The blade of the appliance cart should be slid under the wheels of the unit. See Figure 3. The strap of the appliance cart should be placed around the unit and strapped tightly. Help will be required to tip the unit back onto the cart. The unit can be leaned far enough back to be rolled through the door. Be careful when setting the unit back up to keep from damaging the unit.
