If possible, transport the Liebert DS with a forklift or pallet jacks. If that is not possible, use a crane with belts or cables, slings and spreader bars.

•If using a forklift or pallet jack, make sure that the forks (if adjustable) are spread to the widest allowable distance that will fit under the skid.

Ensure the fork length is suitable for the unit length.

•When moving the packaged Liebert DS with a forklift, lift the unit from the designated “heavy side” of the unit no higher than 6" (152mm) off the ground. Ensure that the opposite end still touches the ground.

•The unit is to be pulled by the forklift—If the unit must be lifted higher than 6" (152mm) great care must be exercised: Personnel who are not directly involved in moving the unit must be kept 20' (5m) or farther from the lift point of the unit.

•Always refer to the location of the center of gravity indicators when lifting the Liebert DS (see Figure 34).

5.2Unpacking the Unit

Remove outer packaging when ready to install the unit.

•Remove the exterior stretch wrap packaging material from around the unit, exposing the protec- tive corner and side packaging planks.

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

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