4.Visually inspect the slings prior to use for any signs of abrasion or other damage. Refer to the sling manufacturer's procedures for proper inspection of the particular sling you are using.

5.Only use slings with ratings that exceed the weight to be lifted. Reference your company's standards for safety factors that must be included when calculating the load rating.

6.Provide support for the transmitter electronics assemblies during lifting operations.

7.Once the lifting operation is complete, attach and secure the electronics to the pipe stand or other rigid structure using the mounting bracket bolts. Lifting the meter without supporting the transmitter enclosures, may cause the electronics to fall and cause personal injury or electronics damage.
