Product Description
1.3.1Handling With Skid
•Always keep the unit upright, indoors and protected from damage.
•If possible transport the unit using a forklift truck; otherwise use a crane with belts or cables. When using a crane, apply spreader bars to avoiding pressing on the top edges of the packaging.
•Personnel should be properly certified and trained to move and rig equipment.
•If using a forklift truck, make sure that the forks (if adjustable) are spread to the widest allowable distance that will fit under the skid.
•When moving the skidded unit with a forklift truck, do not lift the unit any higher than
6" (152mm) off the ground. If circumstances require the unit to be lifted higher than 6" (152mm), great care must be exercised, and all personnel not directly involved in raising the unit must be no closer than 20 feet (5m) from the lift point of the unit.
! CAUTION
Risk of structural interference. Can cause equipment or building damage.
While on the skid, the unit is too tall (83" [2108mm] overall height) to fit through a standard doorway 83" [2108mm]. Any attempt to move the unit, while skidded, through a standard doorway will cause damage to the unit and to the building.
1.3.2Removal of Skid
For skid removal, Emerson Network Power recommends using pallet jack or similar operation. This is to ensure that both ends of the unit are firmly secure, and provides a good means of unit mobility.
Always keep the unit upright, indoors and protected from damage.
1.Remove the exterior packaging.
2.Align forklift with either the front or rear of the unit. Ensure the forks are locked at the widest position that will fit under pallet (see Figure 2).

! CAUTION
Risk of unit damage. Ensure the forklift tines are level and not angled in an upward direction. Improper positioning may cause damage to the bottom of the unit. Ensure the forks are positioned in a manner as to have the Center of Gravity label, located on the unit, centered between the tines. Ensure the tines extend beyond the opposite side of the unit.
3. Drive the forklift forward, sliding the forks under the base of the unit (see Figure 2).
