6.After installation of the hoist rings, always check that the ring rotates and pivots freely in all directions.

7.NEVER attempt to lift the meter using only one hoist ring.

8.Always use separate slings to each hoist ring. NEVER reeve one sling through both hoist rings. The slings must be of equal length. Each sling must have a load rating that equals or exceeds the hoist ring load rating. The angle between the two slings going to the hoist rings must never exceed 90 degrees or the load rating of the hoist rings will be exceeded.

Figure 3-3 Ninety degree angle between slings

9.NEVER allow the slings to contact the electronics enclosure. Damage to the enclosure may occur. If the slings do come in contact with the electronic enclosure then remove the two bolts holding the enclosure to its base and temporarily remove the head from the meter during the lifting operation. You will need to unplug the cable from J3 on the Acquisition Module. Two screws hold this cable in place.
